Experts say these types of products are not safe for babies. Safe sleep for babies is critical and parents are often looking for products to help their little ones get the best Zzzs. Now retailers including Amazon, Target, and Babysits, are making it easier for parents to avoid products that may be unsafe, with their latest decision to prohibit the sale of weighted baby blankets, sleep sacks, and swaddles.

Too often, products that contradict clear expert guidance are for sale for years and end up putting babies and children at serious risk It is clear that there is not yet enough understanding of the impact of weighted sleep products on infants and they should not be marketed as ‘safe’ especially since medical professionals have expressed such serious concerns Placing a baby on their back to sleep Using a crib, bassinet, or portable play yard that has a flat, firm mattress with a fitted sheet Not placing loose blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, bumpers, or any other soft items in a baby’s sleep space
