Product description
From the manufacturerLove To Swaddle UP Original
The ingenious Love To Swaddle UP combines all the benefits of a traditional swaddle with the ease-of-use and safety of a sleepsuit. The soft, clingy fabric around the baby replicates the feeling of being in the womb, while arms are up in a natural position and hips are free to wriggle and move. The Love To Dream Swaddle UP Original is a Stage 1 sleepsuit featuring ARMS UP and ’hip-healthy’ design that works with your baby’s natural sleeping position to give both parent and child a restful night’s sleep.
Easy to use in 3 simple steps; legs in, arms in and zip-up. The 2-way zipper also allows you to nappy change without fully waking your baby, which means you can both get back to sleep in no time.
The Swaddle UP helps babies assume their natural position for sleeping. Both pre and post birth babies sleep with their arms by their head. The Arms UP design is based on research into the way babies sleep and develop in the womb.
The Swaddle UP prevents the need for excess or loose fabric which can become a suffocation hazard, and the single layer of breathable fabric reduces the risk of overheating. The Swaddle UP is also the only swaddle that lets babies sleep safely on their back due to the Arms UP position.
The Swaddle UP is recognised by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHD1) as swaddling babies tightly around the hips and legs is not recommended. The Swaddle UP is designed to give your baby room to move their hips and legs freely.
Babies self soothe by touching their faces and sucking on their hands. This reflex is present in all infants from birth and has a known calming effect. The swaddle UP gives your baby access to their hands so they can self soothe themselves to sleep.
Studies show swaddled babies sleep better and longer. This is believed to be because swaddling calms the startle reflex. Swaddle UP contains your baby’s startle reflex with gentle all-over pressure.

Our StoryHere is an old snap of our Founder & Creator Hana-Lia Krawchuk in 2009 packing boxes in the hallway of her Sydney home.
The story of Love To Dream began over 10 years ago. New mum Hana-Lia Krawchuk faced significant challenges trying to get her newborn son to sleep.
She noticed that her baby son preferred to sleep with him arms in an upward position, and research seemed to confirm it. Medical science suggests that babies really can sleep better if they have access to their hands for self-soothing.
Using her skills as an experienced fashion designer, Hana spent many weeks refining & sampling the very first version of the signature Swaddle UP. By the following year, Swaddle UP hit the stores of Sydney. Two weeks later it had sold out.
