If you do choose to use a blanket it is crucial that you follow SIDs and KIDs guidelines in relation to using blankets in the cot:
It's recommended that you follow First Candle guidelines in relation to using blankets in a crib. Do not put anything soft, loose or fluffy in your baby's sleep space. This includes pillows, blankets, comforters, soft or pillow-like bumpers, stuffed animals and other soft items. Use a sleep sack or other type sleeper instead of blankets to keep your baby warm and safe.

Little Roo stocks a wide range of Love To Dream Swaddles in Switzerland and it is important to refer to the clothing guide and be conscious of your baby's room temperature and clothing. Overheating has been linked to SIDS so it is very important to ensure your baby does not overheat.
The Love To Dream SWADDLE UPâ„¢ has been designed to eliminate multiple layers of wrapping.
The table below provides you with guidelines* around how to dress your baby based on the room temperature adn type of Love To Dream swaddle being worn.
Please note: It is really important that you take into account all external factors when determining how to dress your baby, including the type of clothing that the baby has on, the babies general health and wellbeing, the temperature of the baby’s bedroom and if this may change throughout the night or day. All these factors may vary in the same way as it does for adults.
The table provided should be used as a guide only & the carer needs to use their own discretion when dressing their baby for sleep time.
Irrespective of which swaddling method you use, you must stop swaddling your baby as soon as he or she starts to show signs of being able to roll over independently. At this time, you must transition your baby out of swaddling into 'arms-free' sleeping.
Your baby's arms should not be restricted when they are able to roll over - this advice is the same for any form of swaddling you may be using. Around this time, you baby's startle reflex should have diminished.
The Love To Dream SWADDLE UPâ„¢ TRANSITION BAG/SUIT is a great way to prepare your baby for the transition from being swaddled to 'arms-free' independent sleep. Little Roo stocks the Love To Dream Swaddle Transition Bags in Switzerland.

You would choose a suitable TOG based on the temperature of the room your baby is sleeping in. Our TOGs are suitable for the below room temperatures:
0.2 and 0.3 TOG = 24 degrees Cº+
1.0 TOG = 21 degrees Cº – 24 degrees Cº

For best fit result please select your Love To Dream Swaddle uP sizing according to your child's weight not their age. The Love To Dream Swaddle UP range is available in four sizes: Newborn (suitable for 2.2-3.8kg), Small (suitable for 3.5-6kg), Medium (suitable for 6-8.5kg) & Large (suitable for 8.5-11kg).
As tempting as it might be to buy a bigger size, unfortunately the answer is no. It is very important that you always purchase the correct size Love To Dream Swaddle UP for your baby, based on their current weight. If you use a Love To Dream Swaddle UP that is too big for your baby the neckline could be too loose, which could potentially be dangerous.
If your baby’s legs touch the bottom of the Love To Dream Swaddle UP but the fit across the body is correct, then keep using this Swaddle UP™ It is 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™.
A natural way babies settle themselves to sleep is by sucking on their hands or gently rubbing their cheeks. This is called SELF-SOOTHINGâ„¢. This hand sucking can also help develop mouth muscles which aid in feeding, speech development & their natural rooting reflex. Love To Dream Swaddle UPâ„¢ has been designed to allow babies to safely suck on their hands for SELF-SOOTHINGâ„¢. SELF-SOOTHING = MORE SLEEP
