Love To Dream Swaddle UP™ Lite

When we brought our daughter home from hospital, she would always wriggle and get herself free from her muslin wraps. This of course was quite frustrating as no one got decent sleep, so we were introduced to the Love To Dream swaddle suits and we haven’t looked back! These made her feel safe, comfortable and helped her to get there quality of sleep she needed to grow. These provide a nurturing, soft feel and the quality is impeccable, wash after wash they still look and feel brand new to give the same feel and comfort time after time. We now buy these as gifts for or expecting friends!

This is my number one essential newborn/baby must have. Hands down (or hands up in this case, haha). Designed to a high safety standard with high quality materials, a winter warm sleeping suit which provides security and safety for your babe to assist them in sleeping soundly. If you haven’t been practicing swaddling a cat, or your child has active boxing arms like Jeff Horn, then the L2D swaddle will take all the complications out of it. The cooler tog of this suit is appropriate for a babe born in the warmer months, or during the day time naps used layered with warmer undergarments, orinal undergarments in the warmth when you want to place some security and restriction to your babe to help them sleep. Dress baby, zip into suit, place in bassinet/cot- done!!! As they Are length dependant, upsizing or skipping sizing can happen. By the time we were rolling and due to transition to a 50:50 (arms out) we went from small to medium and was rolling before hitting large. These suits are only recommended until your babe is rolling, out of the safety of being able to use their arms for leverage in their sleep. Buying one of these as a baby shower gift will make you an absolute favourite, not just because they are a bit pricey (worth it), but because they are amazing. Recommend to buy at least 2, to have one on rotation for spews and poos.

Perfect for babies who like to sleep with their arms up or suck on their hands. Snug on the waist to help with that swaddle feeling and help you finally get some sleep! Happily bought LTD as to prevent hip dysplasia. Lite was perfect for summer and with the aircon on.

This swaddle is my saving grace. My 3 week old hates being swaddled with his arms down (so much so he was born with BOTH arms above his head!). This allows his to be able to have his arms up, but it’s still snug enough to stop the startle reflex waking him up. It’s also the perfect thickness, on the colder nights I can layer a wrap over the top. And to top of all off the swaddles are certified and approved by the International Hip Dysplaysia Institute to ensure healthy hip development. Win, win, win with these swaddles!

Absolutely perfect for my summer bub. We stocked up on arms down swaddles but after bub arrived and we were gifted one of these, bub practically lived in it for night sleeps till she outgrew it. She loves to sleep with her arms up and sucked her hands through the swaddle (yes it gets soaked) which helped to calm her and self settle. Love the 2 way zip for night changes too. Worked for us but I know other bubs need arms down and wrapped tightly. I think its worth a try to save a new parents sleep! After this we moved to a higher tog for the next season and 50/50 as she was going to roll soon.

These swaddles are so fantastic because bubs cannot break out of them like most other swaddles on the market. They have a double zipper which is excellent for overnight changes and it also has a belt hole for travel in the pram (or car if you feel confident, don't know how it'd work with the arms though). The only downfall was once my boy was old enough to play with his hands he would continuously knock his dummy out and cry for me to put it back in, but these are great for self soothing (but by the time my boy self soothed he was too big for the swaddles, big baby).

I have used these for multiple children and now give them to all my new mummy friends as they help Bub get the best sleep

Before I found these swaddles I was waking up more often than my baby just to make sure she hadn't pulled a blanket over her face. Knowing that she can't when she's wearing these swaddles helped me to truly sleep when she was sleeping. It gave me complete peace of mind. In summer she wears a singlet and a nappy underneath and in winter a onesie that covers her feet. I love the two way zip so you can change the nappy without taking the whole thing off in the cold making the midnight nappy changes quick and simple. There's also a pocket on the back so you can check the nappy without taking the swaddle off in the cold. But one of my favourite features of the suit is that my baby can't scratch her face in her sleep anymore! Some of those scratches looked painful.

I bought the love to dream swaddle for my son after 4 months of sleep deprivation, it in every way shape and form saved my sanity! It is breathable material so perfect for summer but also useable in winter with a winter outfit on underneath. It is easy to wash, easy to use and one of the best purchases I have made so far.

This thing saved my sanity!!! Both my kids hated being wrapped with arms down by 3-4 weeks old. Then I found this and it changed everything. They were easy to put to sleep and happy sleeping longer without waking up. I could kiss the person who created this swaddle! This is the lite one for hotter weather. Also allows baby to suck on their hands to self sooth and comfort themselves.

My baby likes yo be wrapped to sleep. This product provides that ability to wrap quickly in the middle of the night when sleep deprived. However, I found I had to use a larger size as the belly area was very tight making her reflux worse and a bigger size was too long/loose around the arm area where it was needed.

Wish we found out about LTD earlier, it would have saved us so much stress from trying to get our newborn to sleep. My baby slept better after using LTD swaddles as she hated traditional swaddling. Would absolutely recommend to all new parents.

We absolutely love this sleep suit! Our little girl loves having her hands up to sleep, so we find a noticeable difference between using this and other suits to sleep in. She actually gets to sleep quicker and wakes up less during the night in it. We have found other suits to be too restrictive of her movements, and therefore can find it harder to settle her. I feel like this is better for her safety too, now that she is starting to slightly roll.

They say it is hard to create routine for very new newborns but I really believe the swaddle up has enabled me to create a little routine with my 4 week old. He knows that when he gets swaddled up along with white noise and a slightly dim room that it's time to be calm and sleep. I have 3 swaddle ups and they're so well made and love the different fabric designs. The lite version has been fantastic in the QLD heat. I can still keep baby swaddled without him over heating. So so so well worth the money!

I was given 2 of these by my cousin they were a god send, Bella in hosi loved being wrapped up tight in a blanket as did she the first couple nights at home. After the first few nights at home she would scream when i wraped her up. ( Bella was and still is a very calm baby and only crys when somethings wrong) So i tried the swaddle and like magic she was calm 😳😴 best thing i was ever given. 🙂 If i had the money i would buy more of them and now that you can get them with legs and zip off arms makes them even more versitial 😊

I've used this love to dream for both my girls and swear by them. Both my girls are sweaters and with the lite they don't sweat in it so it's perfect for babies that sweat a lot. Now living in QLD it's just perfect for my baby. She suckles her hand and instantly goes to sleep and has been sleeping for 8 hrs straight at three months old! Should be called the magic bag 🙊

I used this since baby was born and I love it. I think it keeps baby warm and in a position they feel safe. Makes naby sleep better and feels like in the womb. Lite and great soft fabric and easy zip up

I have the original love to dream swaddle bags in the white and grey and they were perfect for the winter months for my baby. It's now October and I live in Queensland and I had noticed more and more my baby was getting sweaty while sleeping- I decided to buy light version and it's perfect! It's so breathable. I love the arms up design- it really does go a long way in helping your newborn too sleep. I cannot recommend this brand enough and if you live in a warm climate it's even harder to get your baby too sleep- but this product! Good luck mummy's xxx

My sister put me onto the love to dream swaddles when I had my first baby and now I've had my second baby I can't imagine not using them. They make swaddling so easy and quick and both of my babies have always been comfortable and happy in them. Having their arms up means they can suck their hands through the swaddle which seemed to soothe my babies. I would definitely recommend these swaddles.

Cannot rave enough about these little swaddles! I had my baby in Dec and it was pretty hot but you can put them in a nappy and singlet and zip them into one of these and no probs at all. Great quality and awesome design.. if your baby loves their hands up, it's definitely a winner

I was given these as a baby shower gift & while I love the thinner fabric for my hot baby, it just doesn't hold up as well as the original suit, I find it really stretched out around the arms and hands which really defeats the purpose of the suit. Pros: lightweight fabric for summer no fiddling with muslin cloth wraps cons: fabric doesn't retain its shape/quickly stops doing it's job of being a cocoon for bub.

I used this on my newborn till now he is 6 months. It's great they feel secure and keeps them warm. Easy to change their nappy in them too. They feel like they ate in the womb

As a new mum, I naively thought I could old school wrap my summer baby...not realising the little houdinis they are. I borrowed a friends Love to Dream Swaddle Up and sleep was now a possibility in my household. My baby no longer spent time trying to pry her arms free from the confinement of a swaddle, I didn't look into the bassinet to find wrap sprawled everywhere. Pros: Easy to get bubs in and out, nappy changes are a breeze, light weight for summer baby/warm house, bubs now slept longer spans through the night, bubs went to sleep faster when placed in Love to Dream Cons: need to wash frequently due to bubs trying to self sooth (putting hands in her mouth), little bit pricey This was such a big success in my household, bubs now 6 months and arms free still sleeps with her arms up in the exact Love to Dream position

The Love To Dream Swaddle UP Summer Lite is an absolute must have for summer born babies! I used this for my December baby right through until March. The Summer Lite has all of the amazing positives of the regular Swaddle UP. It is very easy to use, is hip healthy with lots of room for wiggly legs. Let's not forget that it keeps baby feeling safe and secure, meaning I got more sleep! The Lite version is a lot thinner than the original and Love To Dream also provide a handy guide for dressing according to room temperatures, these things combined helped me relax and not lay awake all night wondering if baby was too hot. As the fabric is beautifully light, I found that this meant it was not quite as tight against baby as the regular and he slept better in that. However, he still slept well for a newborn in the Summer Lite. I reccomend it to all of my friends who are expecting summer babies, the simplicity and breathablity will save your sanity.

We used the summer lite swaddle on our daughter and it was brilliant. We were very happy with this product such an innovative idea. She was always so comfortable in the swaddles. I have included a picture, lol couldn't resist!!

I have tried different ways to wrap my son. Muslin and velcro wraps didn't work as his arms kept escaping the wraps. We bought love to dream and it worked. My son gets excited when we put the swaddle and when we remove it. I am so happy with this product and I highly recommend this! Great sleep for my baby = happy mumma.

I bought this product after having my daughter and discovering that she hated having her hands restrained by swaddling. I cannot rate this product highly enough. It kept my daughter nice and snug making her feel secure whilst allowing her to naturally sooth herself by sucking on her hands. The wide hip area allowed her hip and legs to fall into a natural position ensuring that her mild hip dysplasia was not made worse. The dual zip made night time nappy changes a breeze. Love, love, love the Love to Dream Swaddle Up Summer Lite!

I owe my good nights sleep all to Love to Dream swaddles. They helped my daughter sleep through the night, she honestly wouldn't unless she was swaddled up, all cosy in her love to dreams. I think the greatest thing about these swaddles is that they still allow baby to suck on their hands which my daughter took a lot of comfort in. They are looser around the leg area so baby can have their legs however they are most comfortable. This summer version is fantastic for babies that tend to be little furnaces like my daughter.

I bought this after reading lots of positive reviews as I was worried bubs hands would get cold in winter - so perfect solution. Unfortunately my bub hates being swaddled and not being able to suck his hands. So- no good for us, but I can appreciate for the right bub it'd be great.

I bought this when bubs was a about 3 weeks old as he was like a little Houdini getting his arms out every time we swaddled him and woke himself up. From the first time we put him in he settled so much easier and was not able to get his arms out, meaning he stayed asleep for 2-3 hours at a time! Fast forward to 4 months old and he still wears it for every sleep and we have even graduated to the next size and I don't think we will stop until he grows out of all their products!

As a first time mum I was worried when my newborn kept breaking free of her swaddles when we came home from hospital - she likes to sleep with her arms up! We tried the Love to Dream Swaddle Up after a friend recommended it and we haven't looked back! It is enough to keep her arms contained enough so as not to wake herself up with flailing arms but also allows her to sleep comfortably anf safely - at 10 weeks she is now sleeping through the night. We use the Summer lite as we live in QLD.

My son hates being swaddled but he loves this swaddle. Falls asleep almost instantly when I put it on him. He loves his arms being up above his head. Also it is not too hot for him.

When my Bub was a newborn she couldn't stand having her arms swaddled down as the hospital instructed. She would fight to get her arms out in her sleep no matter what we did. I noticed she slept with her arms above her head in the daytime. I then saw these swaddles and thought I should give them a go. I haven't turned back since then! I now have multiple L2D swaddles.

I loved the Summer Lite Swaddle with both our children! During those hot Summer nights you don't want something overheating your baby at bed time. We try not to use the air con overnight but bubs wants to feel comforted and secure in a swaddle that's light & breathable. I highly recommend!

Fantastic for babies who like to be swaddled but prefer hands up, my 3rd son was the only one out of 4 babies who wanted to sleep this way but wouldn't settled with arms out. I tried everything and it wasn't until I came across the love to dream that we finally got him sleeping well. Hip friendly and nice a cool swaddle. Only con is they are quite expensive.
