Except it won’t work for newborns, infants and developing children under a year old. Saddling a baby with weighted sleepers isn’t going to help them grow accustom to the “new gravity”. It’s going to hinder their development.

Gravity stresses all parts of the human body at the same time, not just where your clothes cover.

The only way such a suit would work would be for it to be a pressure suit with constant gravitational pressure throughout.

Being the parent of a 5-month old baby, I can tell you that feeding a child in such a suit would be impossible…and changing them would require more effort than you can imagine.

Sorry, but if we are to colonize the heavens without a care about gravity, I think we’re going to need a better solution.
