Review on Super-Soft Kids Weighted Blanket 15 Pounds with Washable Minky Cover 🛌 - Ultimate Comfort for Boys and Girls - 48x72 Inches 15lbs Heavy Blanket by Timothy Henry

I wasn't sure if my 10 yo little girl would really benefit from this or not. She goes to sleep pretty easily each night and usually sleeps a good solid 10 hours. But she has signs of anxiety and sensory seeking so I wanted to see if this could help at all with that. To get her settled in at night we go through a night time routine of prayers and snuggles. I'll lay down with her for a few minutes to just calm her down a bit. She usually has to hold my hand during this time or roll on me or put her feet in between my legs or somehow be toughing me. Even as a baby she needed my hand to be touching her so she would go to sleep and stay asleep. We started using this blanket about a month ago and she really loves it. She weighs 88 lbs and I went with the 10lb. She has said it's a little heavy but she also likes it. I didn't want it to be too restrictive for her. I have noticed when I lay down with her she doesn't feel like she has to hold my hand or roll on top of me o put her feet on me. She just lays there and talks to me. I can't tell if it helps her sleep longer. Like I said, she usually sleeps a good 10 hours no problem and the nights we've been trying it are during her school's winter break so our schedule/routine has been greatly altered and she has been getting to bed two hours late so sleeps in longer. I can't tell if it's the blanket that helps her sleep longer or if it's because we were out late looking at Christmas lights or if it's a bit of both: she's tired and the blanket helps. Typically though, whatever time she went to bed, she still woke up at 6, no later than 7 and these last couple morning she's been sleeping in till 8 or a little past 8a. So I think the blanket really helps her sleep longer. It's really been helpful at our house. I'm glad I invested in one for her. It's comparible to getting black out curtains. You dont realize how wonderful they are until you get some!
