How do I dress my baby for sleep?

The best way to dress your baby is by using a combination of breathable layers and a high-quality swaddle or sleep suit. We recommend following a TOG guide based on your nursery's temperature. Pairing your Swaddle Up™ with our specially designed Love to Dream layers ensures your baby stays comfortable and at the optimal temperature all night long.

Temperature Information

What is a TOG rating?

Finding the right TOG rating and dressing your baby appropriately for the temperature can be confusing. Every baby feels hot and cold differently, ambient temperatures fluctuate, and layering impacts thermal effectiveness. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, but understanding these factors can help.

At Love to Dream we use the industry-recognised measurement system, called TOG. TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade and helps simplify the process of choosing the right garment/s for your baby. Put simply: The lower the TOG rating, the lighter the fabric. The higher the TOG rating, the warmer the fabric.

Products with a 0.2 TOG Rating are ideal for Room Temperatures between 24-27°C.
Products with a 1.0 TOG Rating are ideal for Room Temperatures between 20-24°C.
Products with a 1.5 TOG Rating are ideal for Room Temperatures between 18-22°C.
Products with a 2.5 TOG Rating are ideal for Room Temperatures between 16-20°C.
Products with a 3.5 TOG Rating are ideal for Room Temperatures below 16°C.

The clothing guide link below provides with guidelines around how to dress your baby/toddler based on the room temperature. It is only a guide. All babies are different. The number of clothing layers may vary according to a baby’s health, their physiology, and the room temperature in the room. The caregiver must determine what is suitable. We recommend that carers always monitor the temperature of the room & the child’s comfort. It is important to check your baby regularly to ensure that they are comfortable and that they do not overheat.

Swaddle Up™

Natural womb-like position
Designed to mimic the natural, arms-up position of the womb, our unique shape encourages self-soothing. By allowing babies to reach their hands, they can settle themselves back to sleep - meaning fewer wake-ups for them and more rest for you.
Almost double the sleep
Our studies show that the unique benefits of the Swaddle Up™ increases average nightly sleep from 3h 45m to 7h 25m. That’s nearly double the rest for your baby, and for you.
Snug fit for peace of mind
A calming, womb-like snug fit for new babies, helping them feel settled for sleep. Calms the startle reflex and stays in place with no loose layers or breakouts so you can rest easy, knowing they are too.
The DreamStretch™ difference
Soft, breathable, and built for real life. Our performance-tested fabric retains its shape and secure fit wash after wash.
Stress-Free Swaddling
Swaddle in seconds and achieve a secure, consistent fit every time. Plus, our twin zip makes the 2am nappy changes a breeze!
Gentle on delicate skin
Made from premium yarn, our eczema friendly fabrics feel soft and gentle against your baby’s delicate skin, offering soothing comfort for a restful sleep.
Made to last
Tested to 100 washes and maintains it's shape wash after wash, engineered for comfort and durability to be passed to new dreamers for years to come.

Frequently Asked Swaddle Up™ Questions

How to use a Love to Dream Swaddle Up?

To use a Love to Dream Swaddle Up™, the process is designed to be much simpler than traditional wrapping. Since it’s a "zip-up" design, you don't need to worry about complex folds or loose layers.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to getting a secure fit:

The "Arms Up" Position: Place your baby on a flat surface and lay the swaddle down open. Place your baby inside, ensuring their arms are positioned in the "wings" at the top. This allows them to sleep in their natural Arms Up™ position.
Zip and Secure: Zip the swaddle up to the top. The Swaddle Up™ is designed to be snug around the torso to mimic a "familiar hug," which helps support the startle reflex.
That's it!

Fit Check Tip: Check the Neckline

Ensure the fabric is flat against your baby’s chest and that the neck hole fits comfortably. Our designs include a zip guard at the top to protect your baby’s chin and delicate skin from irritation.

How to use the Two-Way Zip for Changes

If you need to change a diaper during the night:

Unzip from the bottom toward the middle.
Gently pull your baby's legs out while keeping their arms and chest snug and warm in the top half.
Once finished, tuck the legs back in and zip back down.

What is the difference between a Swaddle Up™ and normal swaddling?

Our Swaddle Up™ is designed to be a simple and stress-free way to swaddle your newborn. Unlike traditional wraps, there are no complex folding techniques required. Simply place your baby inside the suit and zip it up!

The innovative design ensures your little one is secure in seconds, providing a snug, consistent fit every time with no loose layers or breakouts.

The Swaddle Up™ is also a unique shape, allowing babies to sleep in a more natural arms up position, just like they did the in womb, with access to their hands for gentle self soothing resulting in more sleep for them, and for you.

What age group is the Swaddle Up™ suitable for?

The Swaddle Up™ is safe to use from birth. To ensure the swaddle fits correctly, we recommend choosing a size based on your baby’s current weight and height rather than age.

The Swaddle Up is available from 2.2kg all the way up to 8.5kg so suitable from newborn to approximately 3 months or when baby is starting to show signs of rolling.

Why is swaddling important?

Designed to mimic the comfort of the womb, the Swaddle Up™ provides the security infants need to drift off peacefully.

It delivers vital warmth without the worry of loose layers, offering a safer, simpler sleep alternative to traditional blankets.

Are Love to Dream swaddles safe?

Safety is the foundation of every Love to Dream™ design.

Our Swaddle Up™ provides a precision fit around the torso and neck, ensuring fabric stays securely away from the face, while the zip-up design eliminates the risk of loose layers or dangerous breakouts.

Crafted from our signature breathable DreamStretch™ fabric, it supports natural movement and temperature regulation, offering a safer, more secure night’s sleep for your baby.

Can babies sleep on their tummy?

According to safe sleep guidelines, newborns should always be placed on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS.

Sleeping on the tummy or side is not safe for infants who cannot yet roll over independently.
