Mamas Touch, a trailblazer in child sleep solutions, has launched a revolutionary weighted sleeping suit that promises to end bedtime struggles for good. Designed by parents who understand the importance of a good night’s sleep, these innovative suits are set to provide children with the deep, restorative rest they need, and parents with the peace and relaxation they deserve.

A Solution Inspired by Real Parents
Founded by Shannon and Tyronne Henning, Mamas Touch was born out of pure desperation to address a real need: a child who would not sleep through the night unless he was continuously held or cuddled the entire time. As parents who had faced the struggles of two years of sleepless nights, the Hennings understood the importance of finding a reliable, non-chemical sleep aid for their son, Jaxxon.

Innovation Meets Comfort
“Between Tyronne and I, we designed, redesigned, and developed the Mamas Touch weighted sleeping suits to simulate the comforting sensation of a parent’s hug. When our family, friends, and parents of Jaxxon’s classmates heard about how well our weighted suits worked for him and that he was finally sleeping through the night, they asked us to make some for them too!” Shannon chuckles. 

“Mamas Touch weighted suits are now patented, trademarked and a fully-fledged business. People love the idea that the jump-suits use gentle, distributed weights to mimic the feeling of being held, providing children with unparalleled security and a sense of calm. The result? A peaceful sleep experience that helps children fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. The bonus? We’re now also rested, and no longer feel like zombi parents on auto-mode,” adds Tyronne.

Mamas Touch has several key benefits, including reducing the time it takes for a child to fall asleep, and ensuring faster and smoother bedtime routines. The product is designed to help calm and soothe the child, as it minimises tossing and turning significantly. By promoting longer and more restful sleep periods, both children and parents can enjoy uninterrupted nights, improving moods and relationships all around.

Therapeutic Design for All Children
The Mamas Touch weighted sleeping suit provides therapeutic benefits similar to deep pressure therapy, helping to promote relaxation and tranquillity through weight distribution.

Made from highly durable materials, the short-sleeved weighted jump-suit is designed to provide a snug, comfortable fit without restricting movement.

It is particularly beneficial for children who weigh more than 10kgs and all the way up to teens. Mamas Touch is  ideal for children who face challenges with restlessness, sleep difficulties, sensory processing disorders, autism, or simply for those who love to cuddle.

The Importance of Sleep for Children’s Growth
If a good night’s sleep is not motivation enough, the University of British Columbia highlighted the importance of sleep for children’s overall health and development on Science Daily. The institution stated that poor sleep can negatively impact growth and cognitive development in several ways, including:

• Growth Hormone Production: The majority of growth hormone is released during deep sleep. Insufficient sleep can disrupt this process, potentially affecting a child’s growth.
• Cognitive Function: Poor sleep can impair attention, memory, and learning abilities, which are essential for academic success.
• Emotional Regulation: Children who do not get enough sleep are more likely to experience mood swings, irritability, and difficulty handling stress.
• Physical Health: Chronic sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system, making children more susceptible to illnesses.

“By addressing common sleep challenges, Mamas Touch transforms bedtime into a peaceful and restorative experience. It also takes a load of pressure off parents, allowing them to enjoy peaceful evenings together,” concludes Shannon.
