Love to dream Swaddle Up Bamboo – Baby Unisex Arms Up

The material on this swaddle is such quality. It’s silky and super stretchy! Not rough cotton like many swaddles are. My little one can still move her legs freely, can flap her little whale tail to her hearts content in this swaddle. She even has the range of movement to touch her face if she wants but her little hands are covered to protect her from scratching. I adore this swaddle. It’s a prefect swaddle for a fast growing baby because of the amount of stretch in it.

This is the only swaddle I feel comfortable putting my son down to sleep in. Other swaddles become undone and uncomfortable for him throughout the night. This one keeps him secured yet it’s not too tight.

My baby was 2 weeks PP and we were struggling to keep her warm of an evening as she does not like traditional swaddling, even with arms out. Put this on her and she immediately settled, sucks her fist through the material and is very content to go to sleep.

I was gifted and given hand-me-downs of several variety of swaddles from about 4 or 5 different brands prior to baby being born. This Love to Dream brand was the main one I’d researched and added to the registry but I was willing to try out some of the others since they were free gifts and all. I’ll start out by saying that all the ones with various Velcro wrap apparatus are really not worth the hassle when you can have something that’s as simple as a zip up! That said, this Love to Dream, even in its smallest size, wasnt very snug and swaddle-like when my baby was first born, so we ended up using a SwaddleMe brand, more narrow zip up at first. But once the baby started being more aware of using their arms and wanting to move around a bit, and also was getting a bit too big for the newborn size SwaddleMe (around 4 weeks old), we switched to this Swaddle UP by Love to Dream and it has been amazing. They really are spot on with their design of the little flipper arms, it makes all the difference in the world compared to other swaddles wraps in terms of the baby’s comfort and ease of falling asleep. The material is very light weight, and, based on browsing the brand’s website, it seems they dont make any swaddle up sacks any warmer. So going into winter I’ll need to add extra clothing layers to baby, but its worth it in order for baby to keep sleeping in this thing as long as they fit it, because it works so well at keeping them lulled and content. I already have the swaddle up transition sack with the zip off arm wings too for their next size too and I’m so glad.

Since being born my little girl has loved to starfish out so this sleeping bag is perfect! Before I had her all the books I read said that babies love to be swaddled and cocooned but that’s not always the case. This sleeping bag has really helped with the startle reflex so when we put her down to sleep she doesn’t get a surprise and wake up. She also knows that as soon as she’s in it it’s time to sleep. I bought this before she was born and was lucky that she does like to have her arms up otherwise it would be a waste of 30. The newborn size only goes up to 8lb 5oz so it doesn’t last very long before you have to size up, some babies may be born too big for it so it would be advisable to wait until your baby is born before purchasing then you can see what weight they are and if they like to starfish out with their arms up.

I have a 5 week old very fussy baby, he struggles to settle after feeds. He would constantly have the startle reflex and wake himself up. The swaddle has helped him settle so quickly, literally the first time I tried it on him he dozed off. He always wants to be held and with a toddler running around there is no way I can sit and cuddle him for hours, this makes him feel secure and relaxed. He is average size for his age and the newborn is fine on him, but If you have a big baby maybe size up as it’s very snug. I can definitely recommend.

My little one loves it. I love it even more as at 11 weeks old she is sleeping for about 4 hours at a time.

My son hated being swaddled because he liked having his arms up. This swaddle was a game changer and finally helped him sleep through the nights starting from 7 weeks old.
The 1 tog is much thinner than expected but you can throw a little blanket over the legs if you feel its too chilly for your little one. Will be repurchasing in the next size up soon!

Really nice and easy to use. Zip up quickly when baby is sleeping already to put them to bed. No fuss pulling or lifting them to swaddle etc. Highly recommend.
