Although on the pricier end for a swaddle, it’s worth the money. Our girl loves to have her arms up while she sleeps but would get the startle reflex waking her up all the time. Now she’s comfy and sleeps for longer. It’s getting lots of use, but the quality seems to be good and the zip can be done from the top or bottom. Great for night time changes.
We brought this for our 6 week old baby, he wasn’t a fan at first but now sleeps in it every night and sleeps much better for it. I would 100% recommend it as a purchase. Where our baby was in tiny baby I like that you can size it by weight.
My 2 week old baby wasn’t letting me put her down in the cot for longer than 5 mins. She naturally sleeps with her arms up by her face so when I saw this swaddle I had to try it. I bought size small in grey colour, it comes in a small box and the material is quite light weight and soft, but keeps her warm at night. She is now sleeping 4 hours, a quick feed and back down again at night time, which she has done since day 1 of using this swaddle. I can’t believe this swaddle works so well as I had my doubts! It is expensive but for me it was definitely worth every penny to get some sleep again!
After trialling a lot of other swaddles/sleep suits and finding they had a lot of excess material that a baby could pull up over their face, the love to dream was a final hope for something to work. And it does! It looks almost too small, but it’s a perfect fit which means everything stays where it should. Very easy to use especially during nappy changes. Baby quite happy to sleep in it and enjoys hands up by face to chew on the hand
Very comfortable, breathable, stretchy material so don’t worry if it’s not an exact fit just keep in mind the baby’s weight.
This is the only thing that my baby accepted as he hated being swaddled, with this he could still use his hands freely so I think he felt a lot better.
Very easy to use, Good value for Money, my baby looked like a baby seal in this.Just Lovely!
We stopped using it just because my baby outgrown the Moro Reflex and he is not startled by his hands anymore.
I would say it’s a bit pricy but if it’s helping keeping your baby calm and get in the mood for sleep,I would say it’s worth it.
My 2 month old didn’t sleep for long periods at night and he was hard to settle in the evening for bedtime. Since I got this I’ve given him his final feed around 7pm, change him, put this on and lay him down at 7.30pm with white noise… he goes to sleep on his own, sleeps from 7.30pm until 11.30pm/12.00am then goes back to sleep until 3.30am/4am. All because I got this. So it is a game changer!! Will be getting another so I don’t have to keep washing the same one!
I bought this as my 11 week old baby is a very active sleeper and would wake himself up constantly throughout the night and could always wriggle his way out of other swaddles. Since having this, he’s been able to sleep through the night properly and within a few days already self soothes himself back to sleep when he does wake in the night. Also very lightweight so perfect for the hot summer nights at the moment.
My baby started to sleep 6-7 hours with the “love to dream” from day 1. She was 10 weeks when I clothed her in it. It’s the best swaddling suit I have ever used. Really convenient if your baby likes to sleep with arms up (like the shape of the product). Easy to use. Extremely recommended!
Its only the second night of trying my baby in this swaddle but so far it’s been really successful, so glad I’ve bought this! If he’s being restless and struggling to go down in his moses basket it seems to instantly soothe him and helps prevent the startle relflex which usually wakes him up as he’s settling. Its also reassuring to not worry about blankets covering their faces while they sleep. Really pleased with i
Is a good product although on my 4 week old it seems a bit too snug and wouldn’t last more than a few weeks and is meant to fit 0-3 months.
My baby loves this swaddle it’s the only way to get him to sleep, it is perfect for babies who have jerky reactions, it allows them to jerk but not wake themselves. It’s expensive but worth it for the sleep you will get.
Really impressed with these swaddles, we tried one when our daughter was born and she didn’t like it but tried again when she was a month old and have used one every night since. Some babies really like having their hands up by their face and these are perfect for that.
Our daughter is a noisy wriggly sleeper but she sleeps more deeply when she has this on.
One of my fav baby items. My baby would not swaddle with arms down so this was an amazing solution, so happy it exists! If your baby seems more comfortable sleeping arms up, or naturally goes into an arms up position in their cot, this will likely be an easier swaddle to use. I can’t believe I ever tried to use a Muslin as a traditional swaddle, I also have unused arms down Velcro swaddles… should have just gone for these swaddles from the start. The double zipper is also handy for nighttime changes. This is my go to item to recommend to all my mum to be friends!
My 6 week old sleeps so much better being in this swaddle compared to when he was in a sleep bag. We’ve gone from waking every 2-3 hours to now 5 hours which feels like a dream!! Very soft material and love that it has a double zip for nappy changes!
I think that this stretchy swaddle is amazing and I wish I had purchased one for my first two babies. I admittedly bought the wrong Tog for winter (baby brain ) but think baby is just fine with this and blanket over him. Seems super comfortable and I like the stretch in the material. I think he feels much more secure sleeping in it and doesn’t startle himself awake. I can’t guarantee that your baby will be sleeping as well at 3 months, but it has definitely helped mine, and my sanity as I am getting more sleep
Good product, easy to use and baby sleeps well in it! Maybe higher tog would be better for winter months.
Once placed in the swaddle he was just so relaxed and calm even with the stress of being on the maternity ward for a week.
The double ended zip is perfect for easy nappy changes that don’t fully disturb baby, but also gives nurses, doctors and midwives easy access to exam, perform tests / draw bloods as the upper section is still in place keeping baby calm.
This item is a 1 tog so great for pre and post summer had to leave it off on extremely hot evenings, now coming into winter we’ve moved up to the next size and the 2.5tog.
In the first 2 months my son was more comfortable sleeping in the swaddle day and night, taking him out for nappy changes and feeds. Now he’s in the next size he only sleeps in it for night time so I only have 1 of the new size.
Baby didn’t like this. He sleeps with his arms out. First night we had this in him he slept well, second night not so well. So we stopped using it. Nothing to take away from the quality of the product, it’s just our fussy baby.
We were unsure if this would be worth the money but for our little boy it has been a game changer. He’s used the swaddle for three nights and slept for between 3-4 hours before waking for a feed and then he’s gone back down for another 3-4 hours. He’s 19 days old so this feels pretty amazing and he seems very comfy in his swaddle. The small fits snuggly and has a little Stretch in it so I would imagine it will snuggle fit until he reaches the weight to move up to medium. Mum and Dad are very happy with this purchase.
Amaaaazing idea! Totally saved sleep when my baby was around 3 months old. He would startle in his sleep which woke him up during the night, but this kept his arms nice and secure, and improved his sleep so much! It’s great idea for when your baby starts wriggling out of a blanket swaddle as well. I loved the zip down the front of this too as it’s so easy to use and practical for nappy changes during the night.
It is a little expensive, but I definitely would say it’s worth the money you spend. I would recommend this produc
I ordered the next size up, size 2. Much better. Far better fit and baby is happy.
Really like this swaddle. Purchased for our 8 week old and it fits well. He’s on the lower end of the weight range for the medium but as he is so close so 6kg we went for that one. He sleeps well when he wears it and it calms him down as his arms are up yet stops him from the quick reflex movement that wakes him up. I wish these weren’t this price as then I would buy more but they are worth it! Much better than our other newborn swaddle where the arms are down and the fabric isn’t as nice.
This fabric is lovely and soft!
I can’t thank the creators of this sleeping bag enough. Tonight my child managed over 3 hours between feeds thanks to this bag, which doesn’t sound like much but we’ve been doing 90 minute feedings for a couple of weeks!
The material is sturdy and strong. The size is perfect and works amazingly well for my son to be able to touch his face as he wants but also control his crazy flailing arms.
I’m so so so happy! He looks so comfortable in it as well which is amazing.
I genuinely wish I’d bought it weeks ago!
I bought this as i was struggling to get my 11 week old to sleep through the night, every night she would scream between 10pm and 2am, nothing i did would settle her. I have been using this swaddle for the past few nights and literally within minutes of putting her in it she is asleep. We have had her sleeping from 10pm till 8am every night since we started using it. She doesnt seem to waken herself up with a jolt anymore like most babies do when theyre about to drift off. Self soothes through the nights aswell. Its easy to use, been one of the best things I’ve bought! Highly recommend
Absolutely love this swaddle. My boy wouldn’t lay on his back or alone before this swaddle and we tried everything! Now he naps alone in the day and sleeps in his crib at night. It really helps reduce the effects of the startle reflex and he loves that he can still suck his hands/material. It feels quite thin, but he seems warm enough down to around 19 degrees as long as he’s dressed appropriately underneath. I ordered the wrong size by mistake and the company were brilliant, quick response, easy returns and postage was on account so no extra payment from me. Fabulous all round and more sleep for me!
I had initial worries about this product because the positioning of the hands looked awkward especially as my baby was so used to having his arms swaddled downwards.
Our routine was to get the baby off to sleep in our arms and transfer him to his cot when he was asleep otherwise he would wake up and we’d have to start again. He would certainly never take himself off to sleep on his own.
From its first use the swaddle up blanket has enabled our baby to get himself to sleep which we could not and still can’t believe! I zip him in when he starts to show signs of tiredness and lay him in his cot. Within minutes he has self soothed his way to sleep because the little hand tabs allow him to suckle on them and stroke his face. I still can’t believe that it works but it really does. He will often jerk around due to those baby reflexes but the design of the swaddle up prevents him from waking. I no longer live in fear of his movements during sleep or of him wriggling his way out of his blanket!
My only negative regarding this product is the price of the swaddle up because it’s not cheap especially if you want a second one for when one goes in the wash. However it is a well made product and the cost can be worth it when you’re getting a good nights sleep and/or don’t have to spend so much time coaxing your baby to go off!
In all this is a brilliant product and delivers on its promises. I wonder what better sleep we would have had if we had used it before now! I’m writing this review as I have just put my son down for his sleep. Once again I was marvelling at how easy this is to do now so thought it would be worth sharing my experiences.
Baby liked it at first but after being swaddled from
Birth he didn’t like his Arms being up like this. It’s a shame as heard so many great things about this product… but as with all baby products it’s trial and error. Material is super soft and stretchy, partner couldn’t believe it was 22 as he thought it was overnight priced but had it worked on our baby it would of been a steal!
Get the cheapest price (we found amazon the blue colour the cheapest) to see if it works on your baby and if so invest in more!
It is loose around the legs, but the reflex down there doesn’t wake our baby up. It is snug around the belly for good reason 1) it “hugs” baby just like a snug blanket swaddle and 2) stops them moving arms around below belly. Arms up position is perfect given that this is how we often found our baby when she broke out the blanket swaddle… clearly some babies like to sleep arms up or hands touching face. It is snug around the neck, and to start with i was concerned, but there is plenty of room if used weight appropriate.
2020 update: used this product with my first for as long as he fit them, then went to the 50/50 and it’s BRILLIANT for transitioning out of swaddling. I’ve now used these again for my second son and same as before – works a dream! Number 2 is a bigger guy so I’ve had to size up faster but he loves it and so do I!
The first thing you’ll notice when you put this on your baby is how insanely cute they look in it – like an especially adorable hand puppet.
But once you’ve got over the cute overload, you’ll find this a seriously useful sleep aid. My daughter is a mini Houdini and will get out of any swaddle, but also likes to hit herself in the face when sleeping. This outfit allowed her some movement of her arms without them being disruptive at night. It also meant we were able to get her into her crib for a few hours – without it she would only sleep on us.
It’s definitely snug but it’s thin and stretchy, allowing natural movement. And the double zip is really handy for night changes. It’s well stitched and has served us well over several months and still looks great.
Highly recommend this if your little bundle of joy is a difficult sleeper!
Was sceptical about this because my 5 week old baby boy HATES being swaddled. We even resorted to his swing overnight! Tried this last night and he calmed down after his bottle and slept in his Moses basket for 4.5 hours which never happens! It’s stopped him from waking himself up with his flailing limbs but also allows him to self soothe with his arms at his face. A bonus is that it has a double zip to allow you to change the nappy without taking the whole thing off! Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I’ve only used it for one night so not sure how it fairs in the long term but it’s looking hopeful!
