The sheer and cool way to transition your baby from swaddling from the swaddling gurus at Love to Dream.
Making the move from the secure feeling of being swaddled to sleeping with arms free can be upsetting for some babies… not to mention their parents!
The Swaddle UP™ Transition Bag Lite helps your baby to gradually adjust to the sleeping un-swaddled. Simply unzip one ‘wing’, wait a few nights for your baby to adjust to the sensation of sleeping with one arm released, & then remove the second wing. Your baby is now transitioned and can continue sleeping in their Love to Dream bag with both arms out.
- Made from 0.2 TOG fabric - 30% lighter than the Love to Dream Original fabric
- Converts to a snug sleep bag for longer-term use
- Genius twin-zipper for easy nappy changes
- Hip-healthy design allows the recommended flexion for hips & legs
The time transition takes will differ for babies. Some will adjust to night sleep un-swaddled quicker, and others will find the days easier. The beauty of the Transition Bag Lite is you can easily add the wings back on if needed.
The LITE is approx. 30% lighter weight fabric than the original Love to Dream fabric.
WHY THE LOVE TO SWADDLE UP Transition IS SAFER*?
Usually parents transition their babies out of swaddling by using a conventional wrap, they leave one arm out and then later leave the second arm out. There are potential dangers with using conventional wraps for transitioning as the blankets/bedding can unravel. Unravelling or loosening can pose a tangling, suffocation and choking hazard to the baby.
Providing the parent has used the right size the Love To Swaddle UP Transition Bag has a snug fit and is ergonomically designed to fit the baby, and therefore reduces the risk of tangling, choking or suffocation.
HOW IS THE FIT OF THE LOVE TO SWADDLE UP TRANSITION DIFFERENT TO THE LOVE TO SWADDLE UP ORIGINAL?
The top half of the Transition Bag is the same as the ORIGINAL but the bottom half is slightly wider which helps the baby get used to not being so snugly wrapped. This also makes the Transition a great option for babies with hip issues or a cast.
The bottom half is reminiscent to a conventional sleeping bag. As you transition the bub by taking one wing off at a time they slowly and smoothly end up in a Summer weight sleeping bag.
HOW DO I USE THE SWADDLE UP TRANSITION BAG LITE?
Transition your baby in three easy steps
1. Use your Transition Bag just like the Swaddle UP ORIGINAL (2 wings attached)
2. When your baby is ready to transition remove one wing. One arm is free and one arm is still swaddled.
3. When you feel your baby is ready for the next phase its time to let the other arm loose! Simply remove the wing and now your baby has graduated to a soft comfy sleeping bag!

What is a TOG rating?
TOG stands for 'Thermal Overall Grade', which is a unit of measurement used to calculate the thermal insulation of a product, usually in the textile industry. Love to Dream sleep garments are given a TOG rating according to the warmth they provide. Basically, the higher the TOG, the warmer the product.
To help parents understand which TOG values are right for differing room temperatures, a set of guidelines has been established as per below:
0.2 TOG - ideal for room temperatures between 24°C and 27°C
1.0 TOG - ideal for room temperatures between 20°C and 24°C
2.5 TOG - ideal for room temperatures between 16°C and 20°C
3.5 TOG - ideal for room temperatures below 16°C
The table below provides you with the guidelines around how to dress your baby based on the room temperatures.
The table is only a guide. All babies are different. The number of clothing layers may vary according to a baby's health, their physiology and the room temperature in the room. The care-giver must determine what is suitable.
Note: It is important to check your baby regularly to ensure that they are comfortable and that they do not overheat.
