Size Guide by Stage
There is no one size fits all when it comes to baby sleepwear. Different stages of development will call for varying sizing as well as sleepwear. From swaddles in the newborn phase, to rompers as they grow, Love To Dream sleepwear is tailored for different age groups. Let's delve into our size guide tailored to each developmental stage of your precious one.
Stage 1: Newborn & Swaddling
During the delicate newborn stage, selecting the right Love To Dream swaddle size is crucial for both comfort and safety. Our swaddles are designed to mimic the cozy embrace of the womb, promoting better sleep for your little one. Consider factors such as weight, rather than age when choosing a size. Love To Dream sizes accommodate newborns up to 8.5 kg, ensuring a perfect fit for those early, tender months. Check out Love To Dreams Swaddle Up from birth until your little one starts to try to rollover. That is a sign to move onto the next stage and upgrade your sleepwear.

Stage 2: Ready to Roll (Transition)
As your baby transitions into the "Ready to Roll" stage, it's time to adjust their sleepwear accordingly. This phase signals a move towards greater mobility, and our Love To Dream products are crafted to facilitate this transition seamlessly. At this stage, use our Swaddle Up™ Transition Bag or Suit to transition them from swaddling to arms-free sleep. Explore sizes designed for babies aged 3 months and up, accommodating weights from 6 to 14 kg and heights ranging from 68 to 84 cm.

Stage 3: On the Move (Independent Sleep)
For the active little ones who have mastered independent sleep and are on the move, our Love To Dream sleepwear adapts to their needs. From approximately 6 months, use the Love to Dream Sleep Suit™ (first chart) or Love to Dream Sleep Bag™ (second chart), once baby is on-the-move and sleeping independently. Sizes suitable for babies aged 6 months and older, with heights from 84 to 115 cm, ensure that they can move freely while still experiencing the comfort they need for a restful night's sleep.
As your baby grows, so do their needs. Our stage-specific size guide ensures that you find the perfect fit at every step of their development.

Rompers
Our rompers are a delightful addition to your baby's wardrobe, offering both style and comfort. When selecting romper sizes, rather than considering your baby's age or weight, look at your little one’s height or length. This will give you the best indication as to the size of your baby’s romper. Love To Dream rompers come in various sizes to suit different stages of your baby's growth, providing the perfect combination of coziness and cuteness.
