Clothing guide
Our goal at LOVE TO DREAM is to help parents choose the right products from our range that best suit their children's needs. Every baby experiences heat and cold differently, ambient temperatures vary, and different combinations of clothing and pajama layers vary in their thermal effectiveness. These factors make it difficult to give a general recommendation to parents and carers.We have developed a temperature-based rating in 5 key categories to help parents and carers choose the right clothing:Products with a warm temperature rating are ideal for room temperatures of 24-27°C. Our "light" summer clothing is best suited for this temperature range. Products with a moderate temperature class are ideal for room temperatures of 20-24°C. Our "moderate" garments are best suited for this temperature range. Products with a mild temperature rating are ideal for room temperatures between 18-24°C. Our "mild" clothing is best suited for this temperature range. Products with a cool temperature rating are ideal for room temperatures between 16-20°C. Our "warm" winter clothing is best suited for this temperature range. Products with a cold temperature value are ideal for room temperatures below 16°C. Our "extra warm" winter clothing is best suited for this temperature range. The table is just a guide. All babies are different. The number of layers of clothing may vary depending on the baby's health, his physiology and the room temperature in the room. The caregiver must decide what is appropriate. We recommend that caregivers always monitor the temperature of the room and the child's well-being. It is important to check your baby regularly to ensure that he or she is comfortable and not overheating. The table below provides guidelines for clothing your baby/toddler depending on the room temperature.
LEVEL 1: SWADDLE UP™ PUCK BAG
Why SWADDLE UP™?
Medical research suggests that swaddling helps newborns sleep better. Swaddling a baby can calm his “startle reflex,” which wakes him up and disrupts his sleep. Our patented, award-winning SWADDLE UP™ helps baby calm down quickly and develop a peaceful sleep routine. Importantly, there is no longer a need for loose blankets in the crib, increasing safety for babies. Unlike traditional swaddles that keep baby's arms at the side or across the chest, our SWADDLE UP's unique ARMS UP™ design has been patented Wings that allow baby to sleep in their natural ARMS UP™ position. This means your baby can easily touch their face and suck their hands and fingers for true SELF-SOOTHING.
What does SELF-SOOTHING mean?
A natural way babies fall asleep is by sucking their hands or gently rubbing their cheeks. This is called SELF-SOOTHING™. Hand sucking can also help develop oral muscles that aid in feeding, speech development & their natural rooting reflex.¬†SWADDLE UP™ is designed to help babies safely suck their hands to promote SELF-SOOTHING™ get.SELF-COOLING = MORE SLEEP
Why ARMS UP™?
SWADDLE UP™ is specifically designed to allow your baby to sleep in a natural ARMS UP™ position. So, while sleeping, he may bring his hands to his mouth to calm himself down, leading to more sleep for everyone.
Can my baby use the LOVE TO DREAM SWADDLE UP™ from day one?
Yes, this is indeed the best time to start. If your baby weighs between 2.2-3.8 kg at birth, please choose the SWADDLE UP™ in newborn size. If your baby weighs between 3.5-6 kg at birth, please choose the SWADDLE UP™ in size small. Although there is some size transition, we strongly recommend that you do not move to size small until your baby has reached the upper limit of size newborn. Using a SWADDLE UP™ or a garment that is too large for your baby can be dangerous for your baby as excess fabric can pose a hazard. https://youtu.be/9cqha3C3nH8
Is the SWADDLE UP™ healthy for your baby’s hip development?
Our SWADDLE UP PUCK BAG and SWADDLE UP OVERGANG PUCK BAG/SUIT are recognized by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as a hip-healthy product - their design allows for the recommended flexion of the hips & legs. Your baby's natural, safe sleeping position is a frog-like position with legs spread. The SWADDLE UP™ allows your baby to sleep in this position without restrictions.
Why is the back of the SWADDLE UP™ 2.5 TOG and 3.5 TOG pucks not quilted?
When babies sleep in our SWADDLE UP™ it is important that they lie on their backs to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Since your back rests directly on the mattress or duvet, additional quilting on the back is not necessary. The heat output of the swaddle bag remains unchanged. With our Stage 2 products (transitional swaddle bag & transition suit) things are different: As soon as babies can turn on their stomachs independently, the back is also quilted to ensure an even Ensure heat distribution. The same applies to our Stage 3 products, such as the LOVE TO DREAM SLEEP SUIT™.
STAGE 2: TRANSITION
Why TRANSITION BAG/SUIT?
As soon as a baby shows signs of rolling, parents need to stop swaddling and switch their baby to an "arm-free" sleep. Our TRANSITION BAGS or SUIT is the simplest solution to transitioning a baby from swaddling to "arm-free" sleep - all while maintaining their beloved sleep routine.
When should I stop diapering my baby and transition?
Regardless of which swaddling method you use, you must stop swaddling your baby as soon as he shows signs of being able to roll over on his own. At this point you need to transition your baby from swaddling to arm-free sleep. Your baby's arms should not be restricted when he or she can roll over - this advice applies to any form of swaddling you use. By this point, your baby's startle reflex should have subsided.The SWADDLE UP'™ TRANSLATION SWISSBAG/SUIT is a great way to prepare your baby for the transition from swaddled to "arm-free", independent sleep.
What's the easiest way to get my baby used to it?
If your baby isn't showing any signs of rolling yet, you can simply let them sleep in the SWADDLE UP™ SHIPPING BAGS/SUIT until they show signs of rolling. As soon as he shows signs of trying to roll over, you must stop swaddling your baby and change him. Start with an ARMS UP‚™ wing and a SELF-SOOTHING‚™ arm (with the cuff folded over).¬†After a few nights your baby has become accustomed to this routine, remove the ARMS UP‚™ (ARMS UP) Wings and start bedtime with both zippered SELF-SOOTHING, ™ SLEEVES (with folded cuffs). Once your baby has gotten used to the routine, you can open the cuffs so they can actually sleep without arms. For some babies, the transition only takes a few nights, for others it can take a few weeks. The SWADDLE UP‚™ úTRANSITION SUIT with SELF-SOOTHING‚™ (SELF-SOOOTHING) ™ SLEEVES is particularly helpful for babies who have difficulty transitioning from swaddling to arm-free sleeping.
How long will my baby's TRANSITION take?
Every baby is different - for some it only takes a few days to get used to it, for others it takes a little longer. It may be helpful to begin transitioning your baby to sleep during the day. Or wait until your baby is asleep before removing a "wing" from your SWADDLE UP™ TRANSITION BAG/SUIT for the first time.
