A: Based on the size chart on the back of the package, your daughter fits medium for weight but just barely based on her height (the medium says it goes to 26.4"). My daughter is really tall as well (yet petite), so if it were me, I would go with a large so you get more use out of it. Hope this helps a little bit!
A: You need a medium - 13-19lbs.
A: Hi There! Our Large is for 19-24 lbs. Hope this helps!
A: As a baby gets older, they start to move around the crib, this is part of their development and is great for them. You should not inhibit this natural desire for movement and your baby's arms should not be restricted when they are able to roll over. Also, SIDS and KIDS do not recommend swaddling a baby that is able to roll as this can pose a safety risk. Irrespective of which swaddling method you use; you should stop swaddling your baby as soon as he or she starts to show signs of being able to roll over independently. This usually occurs around 4 months however all babies are unique. At this time your baby's startle reflex should have calmed and you can transition your baby out of swaddling into 'arms free' sleeping. The Swaddle UP™ Transition Bag is a great way to prepare your baby for the transition from being swaddled to 'arms free' independent sleep, all while preserving your baby’s cherished sleep routine. There are a few quick tips that really help with transitioning your baby from Stage 1 to Stage 2 in the Love To Dream™ range: Tip 1. Place your baby in the Transition Bag, with both wings ON and allow him to fall asleep. Once he's fast asleep, quietly and carefully unzip one wing, doing your best not to wake him. (maybe practice when the suit is off, to get the feel of removing the wing gently and without disruption). Tip 2. Try removing the wing of the least dominant hand as this arm tends to move around less. You may notice he grabs with his right hand - keep this one in the Wing and unzip the other. Tip 3. Repeat this process over 2 or 3 sleeps (day or night), until baby realizes on waking that he has the one arm free. Tip 4. As your baby gets used to sleeping with one arm free, it's time to remove the other wing. Tip 5. Put your baby down to sleep with just the one arm out, and one in. When he is fast asleep, repeat carefully unzipping off the other wing. Repeat for a couple of sleeps until baby is comfortable with waking with TWO arms free.
A: At Love To Dream we take so many factors into consideration when designing and producing all our garments, to ensure that they are effective, durable and of course safe for babies. We perform intensive fit and wear testing to ensure the best fit according to our size guide below, however, we appreciate that all babies are different and unique in shape and size. Please keep in mind that the fabric of the Swaddles stretches to almost double its size when stretched which helps reduce the risk of swaddling babies too tight. We recommend that you always buy our Swaddle UP™’ according to the weight recommendations in our size chart as it is dangerous to use a swaddle that is incorrectly weighted for your baby as this may pose a risk due to a neck-hole being too big and allowing the baby’s head to pass through and the excess material possibly covering the baby's face. However, as your little one is at the top end of the scale, if you choose to place him/her in the Medium size, please use your discretion as the parent to ensure the neck hole is not too big. Remember, for swaddling to be effective the garment should be snug fitting. As far as the Swaddle length is concerned, if your baby’s legs touch the bottom of the Swaddle UP™ but the fit across the body is correct then keep using this Swaddle UP™ as it's not too short! The length of the bag has been specially designed to be a little shorter so that as your baby grows they can push against the bottom of the bag. This pushing action and feeling ’the ends’ of the bag contribute to further self-soothing. Furthermore, it shouldn't bother your baby as babies generally sleep in a "splayed" (frog-like position). So once again, although the Small size is the recommended size for 12lbs because your baby is almost there, please first check the neck hole is suitable before you place him/her in the larger size, before sleep time. Thank you!
A: Hello! Our products are designed to be snug to help calm babies' startle reflex. Unlike baby clothes, we don't suggest 'sizing up' so baby can grow into it. At 10 lbs, a Small would be the correct size. Let us know if you have any other questions!
A: Hi Meg--the size of the 'wings' changes based on the size of the Swaddle Up Transition Bag. Please reach out to our Customer Care team at support@lovetodreamusa.zendesk.com and they'll be happy to help!
A: The biggest component would be if your little one is showing signs of rolling. If they are not showing signs of rolling, we would advise to go with the Swaddle UP. The Transition Bag has removable wings and the zippers can cause there to be less stretch and thus should be used when they are ready to transition to arms-free sleep.
A: It may be somewhat large for a newborn and won’t be very helpful with the Moro reflex (the purpose of swaddling). From my experience, if your baby is at least 10lbs, the medium will fit well enough.
A: Hello--this is a 1.0 TOG fabric.
A: As long as you remove the wings of the Swaddle UP Transition Bag it is perfectly safe for babies who prefer to sleep on their tummies. They must have their hands free to be able to have access to push themselves up and roll over should they wish to do so. It is always advised to put baby down on their back and then if they roll to their tummy themselves, it is safe to continue to let them sleep in that position, again making sure that the wings are removed.
