Reviews

Bub loves his Swaddle Up

"This was a game changer for us as we don’t have to struggle to swaddle anymore. We use it for bub’s daily naps especially with the colder mornings now. It’s so easy and he is very comfortable in this swaddle with his hands up. The cute bees are just a bonus!! Love it!!"

— Chantel P. (5/5)

The Only Swaddle We Trust for Safe, Restful Sleep

"We absolutely love the Love to Dream swaddle for our 3-week-old daughter. It’s the only swaddle we feel completely safe using with her, and it has made such a difference in her sleep. She’s able to safely self-soothe with her hands without waking herself up throughout the night, which has helped everyone get more rest. The quilted cotton material is soft, cozy, and high quality. Highly recommend for newborns!"

— C H. (5/5)

Love these

"My baby has absolutely loved these since birth, is now 8 weeks and wears one every night, and occassionally for day naps they have been a game changer. She always has her arms up, so these are perfect as she didn’t love swaddles. Helps calm her down so she can self soothe to sleep, they are very soft and amazing quality would definitely recommend all mums to try! The 2. 5 tog is great for her sleep environment with a short onesie underneath."

— Sophie E. (5/5)

Swaddle Up

"This swaddle has become the key part of my newborns nap routine as he learns day and night. It makes so much sense, gives great proprioceptive input and soothes his nervous system while keeping him snuggle. We love."

— Ashleigh S. (5/5)

Great safe sleeping bag

"These sleeping bags have been perfect for my son. He definitely sleeps better in them and so do I knowing he is sleeping safely and snug. A sound investment for any parent. I purchased the three pack bundle which I would recommend so you have enough for wearing, washing and a spare. These would make a great practical gift for a new mum."

— Heather (5/5)

Swaddle up olive bees

"This is perfect for my little one comfy and confident with her in the swaddle up and she sleeps so well in it. Quality of the swaddle is lovely very cosy. My little one has had the se swaddle up for a period of time now and I still love them for sleep time. Preferred using the swaddle up over blankets absolute life saver"

— Jade H. (5/5)

We absolutely love this swaddle!

"We absolutely love this swaddle! Our baby settles so much easier at bedtime and stays nice and cosy through the night. The quality is amazing and the Olive Bees print is so cute. Definitely recommend"

— Brodie (5/5)

Great product! Chest badge needs improved design

"Excellent swaddle and easy to get in and out with the 2 way zipper for those zombie hour nappy changes, great quality material and design with nice touches like the branding tag down the left hand side. only disappointing thing is the love to dream heart badge on the chest peels off after a few washes which makes the product look old and worn out when it isn’t! And it’s happened on all 4 that we have and some that I have seen being sold secondhand! For the cost of them this is poor! Needs improvement!"

— ryan b. (5/5)

Great!

"Ordered one swaddle to try out as this wee one prefers a swaddle but also keeps escaping blanket swaddle and it was a god send so we ended up ordering more and that's all he's slept in for first month! Keeps him cosy, great temperature, he's very comfy and happy. They wash and dry well. Quick postage."

— Rebecca G. (5/5)

This swaddle was a good

"This swaddle was a good fit. We have found the swaddles so helpful on getting our baby to feel comfortable sleeping in their moses basket. It's helped with his startle response, to help him sleep more. I'd really reccomend the swaddles."

— Georgia G. (5/5)

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.
