Are you looking for the perfect swaddle for your baby? Look no further than Love To Dream™! Our range of sleeping garments provide comfort and security for newborns, babies, toddlers and children up to 4 years old.
Our swaddles are designed with both safety and comfort in mind. They are certified ‘Hip-Healthy’ by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, meaning that they have been designed to reduce the risk of hip dysplasia when used correctly. Hip dysplasia occurs when a baby is tightly wrapped in a swaddle, preventing teir legs from straightening out. When this happens, their thigh bones can be forced out of their hip sockets, leading to problems later on in life.
Love To Dream™ swaddles are also incredibly soft and durable. They are made from breathable stretch fabric that allows air flow while still providing warmth and security. We also offer Sleep Bags and Sleep Suits that promote healthy sleep habits by allowing your child to move more freely while they sleep.
When your baby begins to show signs of rolling over or trying to stand, it is time to transition them out of the swaddle and into our Stage Two Transition Bag. This bag features one ARMS UP™ wing and one SELF-SOOTHING™ sleeve (with cuff folded over) that provides your baby with enough freedom to move around without feeling constricted or uncomfortable.
At Love To Dream™ we understand how important it is for parents to have peace of mind when it comes to finding the right sleeping garments for their little ones – which is why we strive to create products that are safe, comfortable and supportive for your little ones!

When is the Best Time to Start Using Love to Dream?
Love To Dream products are designed to help babies and toddlers transition from swaddling to independent sleep. It is recommended that you begin uing the Love To Dream Sleep Suit or Sleep Bag from 6 months old, once your baby is sleeping independently.

What Clothing Should Be Worn Under a Love to Dream Swaddle?
In warm weather, your baby should wear a singlet and nappy beneath their Love To Dream swaddle. However, in cooler weather you may want to consider adding an extra layer such as a lightweight jumpsuit and singlet. This will ensure your baby stays warm and comfortable while they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the swaddle is not too tight on the baby, so that they can move comfortably throughout the night.
The Purpose of the Hole in the Back of the Love to Dream Swaddle
The hole in the back of the Love to Dream Swaddle is designed for easy access and convenience. It allows parents to safely check on their baby without having to unzip the entire swaddle. Additionally, this hole also provides an opening for the seatbelt of a carseat, allowing you to keep your baby safely secured while driving.
When Should You Stop Swaddling Your Baby?
Swaddling is used to help babies feel secure and comfortable, but it’s important to stop swaddling at 8 weeks because your baby may start to roll over. Rolling over while swaddled can be dangerous as it increases the risk of SIDs (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Swaddling also prevents your baby from exploring their environment, so stopping at 8 weeks gives them the chance to move freely and explore with their hands. After 8 weeks, you should transition your baby out of swaddling by gradually loosening the swaddle until they no longer need it for comfort.
The Benefits of Putting Clothes Under a Swaddle
Yes, it is important to put clothes on your baby before swaddling. Babies should wear at least one layer of clothing underneath their swaddle, such as a onesie or a shirt and shorts. This will help ensure they stay warm whle they sleep and also provide them with some comfort and protection from the fabric of the swaddle. Additionally, it can help prevent skin irritation or rashes that may be caused by the fabric of the swaddle rubbing against their skin.
