Love To Dream Swaddle Up, Medium 6-8.5 kg - Grey, Snug Fit, Supports Healthy Sleep Routine, 1.0 Tog - Ideal for 20-24°C Temperatures, Machine Washable Cotton & Double Zip for Easy Nappy Changes

I thought this product was too good to be true but it really is amazing. I wish I had discovered it earlier. My baby loves to be swaddled but at 13 weeks we were getting to the point where he wasn’t ready for a sleeping bag but was too restricted by a tight swaddle that binds his arms to his body.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.

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 3 month old suddenly started breaking out of his blanket swaddle and startling himself with his arms every hour at night and after a few nights of very broken sleep, I was getting desperate. I did a bit of research and thought I'd give the Love to Dream Swaddle blanket a try and oh lord I'm glad I did. The first night my little one had it on we were back to having 4/5 hour chunks of sleep. I was so happy. My little boy still feels secure from the snug fit and can have his arms up without being startled. It's nice, soft and not too thick which makes it good for the summer weather. My baby is about 7 1/2 kg and fits well in a medium, but I suspect it won't be long before we need a large! I also love the two way zip so I can do a nappy change without taking it all off in the night. It really has been a lifesaver, wish I'd bought one sooner! The only thing I'd say is I'm not really sure what the flap bit on the back is for- if someone could enlighten me I'd appreciate it!

My daughter responded well to traditional swaddling initially but as she got a little older (6wks +) started fighting the swaddle and was able to escape even the Velcro ones! She started to self sooth at around 8 weeks and thought I’d try this as she’s a little wriggler at night so the idea of something that kept her swaddled to an extent but also able to sooth was really appealing. It’s really great, she doesn’t startle herself awake and sucks her fist through the fabric. The jersey material is nice and soft and it’s easy to get her in and out of. She looks hilarious in it because it makes them look like a little flying squirrel or something!! The only negative is that the zip bulges at the top on her chest and this sometimes rides up around her face but doesn’t seem to bother her.

I tried to use it when my baby was the right size, but he absolutely did not like it. It's neither swaddling nor loose. The baby was very uncomfortable because it was too far apart.

This product has literally changed my life. I'm not one to write reviews but I feel like this needs to be recommended to everyone. Since we started using this a week ago, my 3 month old has gone from 2-3 wakings a night to sleeping through 7+ hours each night. This is the only thing different that I've done in our routine and I honestly can't believe it. Miracle product!

I bought the 1 tog sleeping bag and the material feels quite thin. However, I have used it on my 4 week old son and it does keep him warm with the proper layers underneath. I have only used for two nights and it does work to prevent the baby waking up due to the startle reflex. I would say that it is quite small. I bought the medium for my son and I think it’s just right, though he’s only a little over 4kg. The small would have been too tight.

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 product
