Swaddle UP Size Chart
The Love to Dream Swaddle UP is designed to provide a secure and comfortable swaddle for newborns, mimicking the feeling of being held.

The Swaddle UP range is available in four sizes to accommodate different growth stages and weights⁚

- Large⁚ Designed for babies weighing 8.5-11 kg (approximately 18.7-24.3 lbs).
Remember to always choose the size based on your baby’s weight, not their age, for the best fit. If your baby is nearing the upper weight limit of a size, it’s advisable to move up to the next size for optimal comfort and safety. Refer to the weight ranges provided for each size to ensure a snug but not restrictive fit.
Sleep Bag Size Chart
Love to Dream sleep bags offer a safe and comfortable alternative to blankets for your little one. They are designed to regulate your baby’s temperature throughout the night, promoting restful sleep. The Love to Dream sleep bags are available in two sizes to accommodate different age ranges and heights⁚
- Size 0⁚ This size is suitable for babies aged 6-18 months, with a maximum child height of 88cm (approximately 34.6 inches). It’s ideal for those transitioning from swaddles or for smaller babies within the age range.
- Size 1⁚ Suitable for babies aged 18-36 months, with a maximum child height of 108cm (approximately 42.5 inches). This size provides ample room for older babies and toddlers who are more mobile during sleep.
It’s crucial to select the sleep bag size based on your child’s height, not their age. A well-fitting sleep bag ensures your baby can move freely without the risk of overheating or becoming entangled. Always check the height guidelines to ensure a proper fit. Consider your child’s current height and anticipated growth when choosing between sizes. Choosing a size too large can be a safety hazard.
Sleep Suit Size Chart
Love to Dream sleep suits provide a comfortable and safe alternative to traditional sleepwear for your growing child. Designed for children who are mobile and sleeping independently, these suits offer the perfect blend of freedom and warmth. The Love to Dream sleep suits are available in a range of sizes to accommodate various ages and heights, ensuring a snug and secure fit for your little one. The sizing is tailored to ensure optimal comfort and safety throughout the night.
The sleep suits are available in five sizes⁚ Size 0 (6-12 months), accommodating babies up to a certain height; Size 1 (12-18 months), suitable for toddlers of a larger size; and Sizes 2, 3, and 4 (covering age ranges and height specifications). Precise height measurements for each size are available on the Love to Dream website. Always refer to the official size chart for the most up-to-date and accurate measurements before purchasing. Remember to prioritize your child’s height over their age when selecting the appropriate size. A properly fitting sleep suit will allow your child to move freely while staying comfortably warm.
Choosing the Right Size⁚ Key Considerations
Selecting the appropriate Love to Dream product size is crucial for your baby’s comfort and safety. Prioritize your child’s height over their age when making your selection; height is the most reliable indicator of proper fit. Consult the detailed size charts available on the Love to Dream website or packaging for precise measurements corresponding to each size designation. These charts often provide weight ranges as well, offering a secondary metric to aid in your decision.
Consider the season. For colder months, a warmer tog rating might be necessary, ensuring your baby stays warm throughout the night. Conversely, lighter tog ratings are best suited for warmer temperatures to prevent overheating. Always check the product description for the tog rating before purchase to ensure the appropriate warmth level is selected for the prevalent climate conditions. Remember that a snug, but not overly tight, fit is ideal, allowing for comfortable movement while maintaining warmth and safety. If unsure, err on the side of caution and choose the next size up.
Weight vs. Age⁚ Which Matters More?
While both weight and age are factors considered in baby product sizing, height proves the most reliable indicator when determining the correct size for Love to Dream products. Although weight ranges are provided in the size charts, they serve as a secondary consideration. Focusing solely on weight can be misleading, as babies of the same weight may have significantly different lengths. A lightweight, longer baby may require a larger size than a heavier, shorter baby of the same age.
Therefore, always prioritize your child’s height measurement. Use a soft measuring tape to accurately measure from the crown of the head to the heel while your baby is lying down. Compare this measurement to the size charts provided for each Love to Dream product. This method ensures the optimal fit, allowing for comfortable movement and preventing the product from being too restrictive or too loose. Remember that a properly fitting sleep bag or swaddle provides both safety and comfort while allowing for natural movement during sleep.
Love to Dream Size Guide⁚ Newborn to Toddler
Love to Dream offers a comprehensive range of products designed to accommodate your child’s growth from newborn to toddler. The Swaddle UP, designed for newborns, is available in sizes Newborn, Small, Medium, and Large, catering to weights from 2.2kg to 11kg and corresponding height ranges. As your baby grows and begins to show signs of rolling, transition to the Transition Bag or Suit, ensuring continued safe sleep. These are also size-graded for optimal fit.
Once your baby is more mobile and sleeping independently (around six months), the Sleep Bags and Sleep Suits become ideal choices. These are available in sizes to suit babies and toddlers from 6 months to 4 years old, with height ranges from 84cm to 115cm. Always refer to the detailed size charts to determine the most suitable size based on your child’s height. The Love to Dream sizing system prioritizes a comfortable and safe fit, ensuring your child sleeps soundly throughout their development.
Transition Bags and Suits⁚ Sizing Information
Love to Dream’s Transition Bags and Suits are thoughtfully designed to ease your baby’s transition from swaddling to sleeping without the swaddle. These cleverly engineered garments offer a gradual and safe transition by allowing for arm freedom while maintaining a secure and comforting feeling. Understanding the sizing is crucial for a comfortable fit and optimal sleep experience.
The size range of the Transition Bags and Suits typically mirrors the progression of the Swaddle UP, offering sizes suitable for babies growing from newborn to approximately 6-9 months old. However, please note that due to lower demand, the XL size (11-14kg/24-31lbs) might have limited print availability. Always check the Love to Dream website or retailer for current availability. If the XL size is unavailable, consider the Sleep Bags or Suits from the On-The-Move range, which cater to older babies and toddlers.
Remember to prioritize your baby’s height and weight when selecting the appropriate size. A snug but not restrictive fit is essential for safety and comfort during sleep.
On-The-Move Range⁚ Sizes and Suitability
Love to Dream’s On-The-Move range is specifically designed for active babies and toddlers who are already mobile and sleeping independently. This range offers sleep bags and suits tailored to accommodate the increased movement and freedom of older infants. The sizing within this range extends to accommodate children from approximately 6 months to 4 years of age, providing a comfortable and secure sleep environment even as they grow.
The key differentiator of the On-The-Move range lies in its design, which allows for ample room for movement while still providing warmth and security. Unlike the snugger fit of swaddles and transition bags, the On-The-Move garments offer a more spacious and flexible fit, preventing any restrictions to a child’s natural sleep positions. This ensures that your child can enjoy a restful sleep without feeling constricted.
When selecting a size from the On-The-Move range, prioritize your child’s height as the primary determining factor. The size charts provided by Love to Dream will offer specific height recommendations for each available size, ensuring the best fit for your child’s comfort and safety.
