Product Overview
Love to Dream’s Swaddle UP is designed so that when baby sleeps they are able to put their hands up as opposed to being all snuggled in close to their body.
The cotton and elastane stretchy material is meant to fit snugly on your baby but will also give you room for the baby's limbs to move slightly.
A front zipper makes it easy to get baby dressed and to change diapers by just unzipping the top rather than having to take off the entire swaddle.
This product was made for the little ones who could still use a swaddle and haven’t gotten old enough to stop using one.
Customers Say
Many parents like the arms up design as it will allow babies to hold their hand by their face even though they are wrapped up tightly in their swaddle. Customers have said that the two way zipper has allowed them to do diaper changes at night much quicker and made it very easy.
Several customers said that this swaddle is comfortable on a daily basis and has a nice soft and stretchy material. Parents usually state that this type of swaddle is an advantage over using a regular blanket style swaddle as you don't have to fold or wrap anything.
There were several customers who mentioned that the swaddle runs small and it would be good to check your baby's current weight and compare that with the manufacturers size chart before purchasing. There were a couple of customers who stated that this product was more money than a standard swaddle blanket and that since most babies grow fast you should expect to buy another one within a short time period.
