Love to dream swaddle

I'm contemplating getting a love to dream swaddle for my 6 week old, what is everyone's opinion on these?
Also regarding tog as the labels only say "made for cool weather etc" I think the cool one is for around 16-20 degrees. Our bedroom is around 21 degrees, would you go with the cool or moderate weather?

Best investment I've made when my baby started having the startle reflex. She sleeps so well in it (she's now 4 months).
I would take the 1.0 tog for temperature between 20 to 24 degrees.

I’m having my baby in October and I purchased the 2.5 tog for over the winter months. Not sure if I should’ve gone for the moderate weather though😅

We had a 1 tog when our lo was newborn. She loved it. She’s now arms free but she did sleep better in those first 2 months in the love to dreams.

My baby loves the swaddle, I didn’t use it for the first couple of weeks as she preferred to be swaddled with a blanket but as soon as she’s in the love to dream now, she settles so quickly. We have the 1.0 tog and that’s fine for this weather.
Once she grows out of it I think I’ll invest in the transition swaddle too. She outgrew the newborn and is currently in size S

is the 1 tog the one that says "made for cool weather" I'm looking on vinted and that's all they say, rather than a tog rating

i believe 1.0 tog is for moderate weather

I see a lot of good comments about them, unfortunately my boy didn’t take to it. I tried 2 different sizes but they just felt quite tight and he would cry a lot in it until I removed it. We switched to the tommee tippee swaddle (his arms down his sides) and he loved it. Strangely, once we moved him to a sleep bag at around 9-10 weeks he would always sleep with his arms up, so I’m surprised he didn’t like the love to dream! x

Love to dream was the best thing ever for my newborn, he slept amazingly in them born in Jan and used 2.5 tog until April then switched to a 1.0 tog in the transition style. I will say he slept terribly trying to transition out of swaddles but I guess that’s all babies? He’s now 4 months so arms out and possible regression

My baby loves the love to dream swaddles, we have both the 1.5 and 2.5 tog but you could probably get away with just 1.5. Also look to buy on vinted there are loads in pristine condition at nearly half the price x

The best thing ever!!! My twins fall asleep the second the zip is up 😂 we got tog 1 and their room is 24/25 degrees

The best investment honestly, I have them in all sizes and togs. My little one started to use the sleepsuit when she was around 8 months because she used to get tucked with the normal sleep bag and wake her up. I love their sleep suits. Totally recommend them

Loads on vinted but 100% get some.

My boy hated it

My daughter hated it. But she hates anything restraining lol. Screamed like crazy till we took it of her. Was gutted as I think they are a lot nicer than sleep tog bags x

Avatar

it’s for moderate weather 20-24 degrees. The cool weather would be a bit thicker but the tog 1 is great for this weather and if it does suddenly get cold I could put a blanket over

Avatar

My little girl absolutely loves hers! Our room is usually 20-21° and we use the 1 tog. As soon as we put her in it its like she knows it’s bedtime and she’s usually straight to sleep x

John Lewis do a love2dream that is all seasons so covers temps 16-24 degrees. I’ve just purchased the same in the stage 2 as he now sleeps with his arms out but we have a new build house so our room is always hot during the day and at the end of the day, but if we leave windows open to try cool it down the temp can drop quite a bit over night so it saves me having to worry about what tog to put him in if he’ll be too hot/cold

Very worth it! My 5 mo old daughter loved tjr love to dream and i tried a lot of other variations none worked as good as this! She also had a strong startle reflex up until not long ago and this really helped her . I got them in 2.5tog but because it was winter. It might be ok to get 1.5 now that it’s warmer.

Avatar

Not sure if it was a coincidence but my goodness she slept brilliantly at night in this from day one. I use blanket in day and keep it noisy and light for naps. Then dark with red light and white noise and swaddle up at night time.

Go with the one tog then alter what she wears underneath if cold/hot etc,

Also invest in more than one, as there may be nights when she has an accident or is sick etc and may need changing x

I’ve loved these for my little boy since he was a newborn! Really helped with the startle reflex and now he’s in the ready to roll transition bag xx

My bubba loves the swaddle so much! With the tog rating, there's guidance on their website as well as a chart. We have the 1.0 tog and 0.2 tog as our room runs really hot.

(6 Day Old Baby girl)

My baby girl doesn’t seem to wake up herself for any feeds, if I don’t wake her she will just sleep all day which is concerning to me. I have brought it up with community midwife who I saw on Saturday they did the checks and said baby is healthy and doing well. She has little bit of jaundice but midwife said that will go away on its own and that the more she feeds the quicker it will go. I’m a first time mum so please be kind and understanding. But I’m worried my daughter, has anyone else experienced this and what do I do?

Who does the nighttime wake ups?

Very curious how others deal with this in their families. Much respect to all the single mums or mums who dont get proper help. I have always done it 100% on my own and am sick to death of it. Been told men just like dont wake up to cries. Yeah I get that but not a single time in a last year, surely im not crazy to think thats not right?

Being naked infront of toddler

Ladies, when should I stop being fully naked infront of my little boy? He’s 14
Months. Since he’s been a baby, he’s watched me shower, watched me go to the loo, I sleep naked etc. When should this stop? Is it harmful that he sees me in the shower, on the toilet, naked on bed etc?

Nursery and formula

My son is only going to nursery for two days so I don’t want to give the whole formula tub back and forth.
What can I empty some formula in for they to keep for two days?

Breastmilk on the go

So, I've been going out more recently and have no clue how to store milk on the go. Is an ice pack in the diaper bag enough? Are those cooler thermos worth it? Will a normal thermos work the same?
