Love To Dream Swaddle

Discover our curated edit of Love to Dream swaddle bag, presenting a simple yet effective way to tuck your baby in tight without complicated wrapping. Designed for 0 to 3-month-olds, the signature arms-up design of this swaddle, with patented wings, allows yourbaby to sleep in their natural arms-up position instead of having their arms tucked beside themselves as in a traditional swaddle. This means your baby can easily touch themselves and suck on their fingers to self-soothe and sleep better without undoing your complicated wrapping. The Love to Dream swaddle is certified and approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute to be perfectly safe for your newborn's hips and legs.

Love to Dream Sleeping Bags

Stage 2 is called the Transitional Stage. This is for babies from 3 to 12 months who have just started to roll over and are transitioning from swaddling to arms-free sleep. It’s recommended to use the SWADDLE UP™ TRANSITION BAG or SUIT at this time so you can slowly remove the zip-off wings for free arm movement.

This baby sleeping bag from Love to Dream is perfect for transitioning your baby to arms-free sleeping. Once your newborn is able to roll over independently, it is no longer safe to keep swaddling them. Transitioning your child to arms-free sleeping can take a few days or a few weeks, depending on each child, but the Love to Dream Transition Sleeping Bag makes it easy! Any change of routine can cause a little anxiety for both your baby and parents, so this cosy sleep bag has been designed to minimise disruption and help transition your baby to get their arms out and about, one at a time. With this Love to Dream sleeping bag, you can trial an arms in arms up swaddle, one arm in and one arm out, both arms out or both arms out with arm layers for a few nights or during daytime sleep as they start to transition. 

Love to Dream Sleep Suit

Stage 3 is the final stage, or the Independent Sleep Stage. Your baby will enter this from 6 months of age until around the age of 4, once they are sleeping independently. 

Love to Dreams smart sleepsuits are the perfect clothing to dress your toddler in once they’re sleeping with their arms-free to stay warm all night long. With their arms able to move about, they can often throw off their blankets and become cold during the night, waking them from their sleep. Dressing them in a sleep suit averts that, as they’re essentially wearing a versatile blanket with legs. It completely eliminates the need for loose blankets in your baby’s cot, ensuring a longer and more comfortable sleep.

Love to Dream Temperature (TOG) Guide

Ensure that you’re dressing your baby safely for sleep with Love to Dreams sleepwear, designed to eliminate the need for multiple layers of wrapping and blankets. Prioritising a balanced sleeping temperature for your child is crucial, given the concerns related to excessive warmth and its potential implications and associations to SIDS. Love to Dream clothing is created following TOG or 'Thermal Overall Grade', which is a unit of measurement used to calculate the thermal insulation of a product. 

Every item within Love to Dreams sleepwear is given a TOG rating according to the level of warmth they provide to help guide you to choose the right product for your child, with a higher TOG rating indicating a more insulating product.

Colder rooms (14°C -16°C) require warmer clothing, so choose the 3.5 TOG-rated suits. Mild rooms (16°C-20°C) require warm clothing, so opt for 2.5 TOG-rated suits and bags. Warm rooms (20°C-24°C) require lighter clothing, so you should choose the 1.0 TOG level clothing. And hotter rooms between 24-27°C require the lightest layer of clothing, so opt for 0.2TOG level.
