## Overview

The Love To Dream Swaddle UP Original is a newborn swaddle designed for babies 5-8.5 lbs that supports the natural arms-up sleeping position. Made from a breathable 93% cotton and 7% elastane blend, it offers a snug, stretchable fit that calms the startle reflex while allowing babies to self-soothe. Featuring a patented wing design and dual zipper, it ensures safety, easy diaper changes, and prevents face scratching. Endorsed by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, it promotes healthy hip development and delivers a dramatically better sleep experience for both baby and parents.

## Description

When you place your baby to sleep on their back, their natural position is for their arms to go up. The Love To Dream Swaddle UP Original features a patented design that allows you to swaddle your baby with their arms up in this more natural position. The medical reason behind baby's desire to have access to their hands is that when they wake up at night, they want to self-soothe, which is simply stroking their cheeks or sucking on their hands. If they are swaddled with their arms restricted, they cannot do this, which causes them to wake, get frustrated, and try to get out of traditional swaddles. The Swaddle UP is a stretchy blend of Cotton and Elastane designed to be snug and cozy around their torso, contain baby's arms, and thereby calm the startle reflex, encouraging a long, restful night's sleep for Mom and baby. The Swaddle UP is safer than swaddling your baby with traditional blankets. With the Swaddle UP, there are no difficult wrapping techniques required and no risk of dangerous loose blankets in your baby's crib. The Swaddle UP's dual zippered design allows you to do diaper changes while keeping baby swaddled and has no pesky snaps, noisy Velcro or tricky wrapping, ensuring that your baby stays comfortably swaddled all night. In addition, the Swaddle UP has plenty of room for baby to move their legs and hips, and recently received recognition from the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as being a 'Hip Healthy' product. The Love To Dream Original Swaddle UP is Stage 1 in Love To Dream's 3 Stage Sleep System. Since 2008, Love To Dream has been finding simple, yet genius solutions to everyday parenting and baby needs. The best news of all is that our products work. So everyone in the family will achieve a better night's sleep. Functionality, usefulness and innovation are key for Love To Dream.Tumble dry

Review: Perfecto para tu recién nacido - Lo usamos las primeras semanas con nuestro bebé y se quedaba a gusto durmiendo. Se lo quitamos a las semanas para que aprendiera a dormir sin eso pero es una buena opción para recién nacido
Review: Best newborn swaddle for arms-up sleepers - The Love to Dream Swaddle Up was one of the most helpful things during the newborn stage. Newborns wake every 2–3 hours, and constantly re-swaddling with a blanket can be exhausting. This zipper swaddle made nighttime changes and feeds so much easier. My baby loved sleeping with his arms up, so this design worked perfectly. As soon as we started using it, he seemed more comfortable and slept better. I ended up buying a few so we always had a clean one ready. They are a little pricey, but the quality and convenience make it worth it. I got the gray one and it’s very well made, plus they come in a lot of cute prints. Out of the swaddles we tried, this was the one that worked best for my baby. Highly recommend for the newborn stage.

## Features

- Swaddling has been around for ages as it helps to prevent the startle reflex. But forcing the baby’s arms to their sides or over their chest prevents two natural behaviors that frustrate the baby and they fight to get their hands free.
- First - Over 90% of babies sleep with their ARMS UP around their head when placed on their back to sleep. This is simply a baby’s natural and preferred way to sleep, just like in the womb!
- Second - All babies are born with the need to SELF-SOOTHE by touching their face and sucking on their hands as they did in the womb. This medically proven behavior is how a baby calms and falls asleep on their own. Traditional swaddling prevents this.Tumble dry
- The patented wings on the Swaddle UP allow the baby to both sleep with their arms in their preferred ARMS UP position and gives enough movement so they can SELF-SOOTHE, all while calming down the startle reflex.
- The snug fit from our 4-way stretch fabric of 93% Cotton and 7% Elastane creates a familiar and secure feeling just like in the womb to calm the Moro (startle) reflex. Does not contain flame retardants or any harmful chemicals.
- The dual zipper makes diaper changing a breeze and eliminates the need to remove the swaddle and having to completely re-swaddle the baby. The patented design eliminates any risk of loose fabric and the zipper replaces noisy Velcro or bothersome snaps.
- The unique wing design eliminates face scratching from baby’s sharp finger nails. All seams are sewn on the outside and the zipper is protected so there is nothing rough against baby’s skin.
- Newborn size designed to fit babies FROM DAY ONE 5 lbs. up to 8.5 lbs., approximately 0-1 months. The Swaddle UP Original is 1.0 TOG.
- Once baby shows signs of rolling over, it’s time to transition to arms free sleep. The Stage 2 - Swaddle UP 50/50 Transition Bag will ease with this transition from being swaddled.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size swaddle up should I buy?**
A: Babies come in all shapes and sizes. For the best fit, we recommend you choose a size based on your baby’s weight, not their age.

**Q: Why is Swaddle Up shaped the way it is?**
A: The Swaddle Up is designed to be a snug fit around the arms, chest, and waist. This provides a swaddling effect, to help calm your baby’s startle reflex when they are sleeping. Self Soothing enables a more settled baby.

**Q: My baby is growing quickly – can I buy a bigger size Swaddle Up for them to grow into?**
A: As tempting as it may be, the answer is no. It’s important that you choose a size based on your baby’s current weight. If the Swaddle Up is too big for your baby, the neckline may be too loose and could potentially cover their face.

**Q: My baby’s legs touch the bottom of the garment – do I move up a size?**
A: It is okay if your baby can touch the bottom of the bag – this helps them feel the swaddling effect. If the fit is nice and snug across the body, then you have the correct size.

**Q: Is the Swaddle Up healthy for your baby’s hip development?**
A: Our Swaddle Up is acknowledged as hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. With its design, it provides plenty of space for your baby's hips and legs to move freely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best swaddle! Saved us in the early days.
*by M***K on 5 June 2026*

Our baby loved to sleep arms up and the startle reflex was strong! She’d constantly break out of arms down swaddles and would wake herself up. This swaddle fixed that and helped her stay sleeping longer/uninterrupted by the reflex.
