A swaddle loved by parents has been released in a new autumnal shade with mums and dads claiming their babies ‘absolutely adore it’. Love to Dream has just launched its charming Halloween collection – featuring everything from a black cat babygrow perfect for trick or treating to spine-tingling pyjamas for older children to unwind in.

However, arguably one of the most thrilling purchases for parents appears to be the new hazel Swaddle Up. The brand states that the £29.99 Swaddle Up is a user-friendly zip-up swaddle, specially crafted to encourage a natural arms-up sleeping position.

Designed to provide little ones with gentle self-soothing and extended sleep, Love to Dream claims it delivers a snug fit within seconds and seeks to replicate a womb-like sensation while stretching to soothe the startle reflex.

To simplify life for mums and dads, the item boasts a straightforward two-way zip engineered to make nappy changes effortless. Available in various sizes – spanning from newborn up to small and medium – the fresh autumnal hazel design arrives in a viscose from bamboo fabric with a 1 tog rating.

Should the new hazel shade not appeal, parents can opt for alternative colours in their preferred fabric, with cotton, viscose from bamboo and organic cotton all available alongside different tog options.

Love to Dream reviews – what parents say

Turning back to Love to Dream, while the new hazel design hasn’t yet received any ratings, other colours of the Swaddle UpTM have been met with largely glowing reviews. One customer said: “Softest swaddle ever. This swaddle is just perfect. The softest fabric and my little girl just loves it.”

Another was equally enthusiastic, saying: “The best way to put my baby to sleep. There is nothing else that I’d use for my little one to sleep in, she absolutely loves the swaddle and I really like the bamboo one, especially in the warmer months it feels so light and still allows her to comfortably move.”

A third praised it as ‘amazing’ commenting: “We had these with our first born, and knew we’d be buying again as they changed our lives. Both babies have never slept so well! The quality is amazing, and no matter how much you wash them you don’t lose that quality.”

Someone else commented: “Incredible! This is amazing, every time. My baby is 13 days old and he loves his love to dream swaddles! We were in hospital for four days after he was born and whenever he was wearing his swaddle he was so calm and cosy! Even the hospital staff loved the swaddle, the midwives commented every time they saw him in it saying how cosy and happy he was!”

It’s worth pointing out that over on Trustpilot, one customer mentioned they’d encountered a problem with their Love to Dream order, stating in part of their review: “Received my order today and both wrong size. Ordered a small and they have sent me two newborn.”

Nevertheless, another parent said: “My third baby and have never really used the swaddle up swaddles before. This time we started using from a few days on old and they’ve been a game changer. Baby boy settles so much once I place him in his swaddle and he loves his arms up.”
