How should I dress my baby under the Love to Dream™ Transition Bags/Suits.

Overheating has been linked to SIDS so it is very important to ensure your baby does not overheat. Our products have been designed to eliminate multiple layers of wrapping. This blog post provides you with guidelines around how to dress your baby based on the room temperature.

Do your Transition Bags/Suits allow for a natural development of the hip joints?

The design of our Swaddle Up™ Transition Bags/Suits allows hips & legs to move freely.

Find their Snug Shrug size

The Snug Shrug is sized by age and height, not weight, so it may not match the size on their sleep bag. Go by height where you can, and size up if they're between two.

Snug Shrug

Size	Age guide	Height	Pairs with
3–6 months	3–6 months	68cm 27"	Sleeveless sleep bag or suit, small / 0–6M
6–12 months	6–12 months	76cm 30"	Sleeveless sleep bag or suit, medium / 6–12M
12–18 months	12–18 months	84cm 33"	Sleeveless sleep bag or suit, large / 12–24M

Fit note: The Snug Shrug is worn over their sleep bag, so size it to sit comfortably over the top. Sleeves should reach the wrist with enough length left to fold the mittens over. If it feels tight over the bag, size the Snug Shrug up rather than sizing the bag down.

The fit should be snug

A snug fit around the arms and torso helps calm the Moro/Startle Reflex. The neck hole should fit closely and comfortably without being restrictive (you should be able to get 1 to 2 fingers in the neck hole). The neck hole must not be able to pass up and over the baby's mouth. For the best fit, please select the size based on your child's weight, not their height or age.

You need to stop swaddling and start transitioning as soon as your baby starts showing signs of rolling over. The Love To Dream™ transition bag or transition suit are perfect to transition from swaddling to 'arms-free' sleep.

Swaddle Up™ Transitioning FAQs

When should I stop swaddling my baby and transition?

Irrespective of which swaddling method you use, you must stop swaddling your baby as soon as he or she starts to show signs of being able to roll over independently. At this time, you must transition your baby out of swaddling into 'arms-free' sleeping. Your baby's arms should not be restricted when they are able to roll over - this advice is the same for any form of swaddling you may be using. Around this time, you baby's startle reflex should have diminished. The Swaddle Up™ Transition Bag/Suit is a great way to prepare your baby for the transition from being swaddled to 'arms-free' independent sleep.

Which swaddle style is right for my baby’s age and sleep stage?

The Transition Bag or Suit is designed for the moment your baby starts showing signs of rolling, when you must stop swaddling but they're not yet ready to sleep arms-free. It bridges that gap by letting you gradually remove one arm at a time, so sleep isn't disrupted overnight. If your baby is between 3 and 6 months and beginning to roll, this is the product for this stage.

Which swaddle style is right for my baby’s age and sleep stage?

The easiest approach is to go gradually: start with one wing unzipped and one self-soothing sleeve on, then after a few settled nights remove the wing completely and use both sleeves. Once your baby is comfortable, open the cuffs for full arms-free sleep. Some babies make the change in a few nights, others take a few weeks. Both are completely normal. The Swaddle Up™ Transition Suit with self-soothing sleeves is especially helpful for babies who find the adjustment difficult.

When should I choose a a TOG?

TOG measures how warm a sleep garment will keep your baby during the transition stage: the higher the number, the warmer. Use 0.2 TOG for rooms above 24°C, 1.0 TOG for 21–24°C, and 2.5 TOG for cooler rooms around 18–21°C. As your baby moves through the transition, keep the same TOG rules in place. A room thermometer is your best tool for getting this right each night.

What size Swaddle Up™ Transition Bag/Suit should I buy?

For best fit result please select your Swaddle Up™ sizing according to your child's weight not their age. The Swaddle Up™ Transition Bag/Suit range is available in three sizes: Medium (Suitable for 6-8.5kg), Large (Suitable for 8.5-11kg) and Extra Large (Suitable for 11-14kg).

How many Swaddle Up™ Transition Bags/Suits should I buy?

We recommend that you purchase at least two in the appropriate size. If you own two, then one can be in the wash while your baby is wearing the other one. It might even be helpful to consider having a third on hand to use in case of emergencies.
