Has anyone used swaddle suits/sleeping bags they’d recommend?

[LucyT87]

First baby due in mid/late November, and I’m starting to think about sleeping/winter temps.
Did anyone use those SwaddleUp Love to Drean zip up suits in winter? Or the sleeping bags that are like dungarees?
I’m a bit baffled by the range of sizes and togs, so if there are any you’d recommend for 0-3 months and over coldest UK winter, please advise! Thank you in advance

We used the grobag gro snug which was suitable from I believe 5lb. It was brilliant as it allowed you to have their arms in or out so we were able to use it for several months before moving onto bog standard gro bags.

The tommee tippee gro snuggles are great because they can be used as swaddles with the arms in or unpopper them and they’re a regular sleeping bag. Also, they run small so tend to be a good fit for a newborn. They come in a number of different weights. Get a room thermometer and check the chart to awe what you need and what to put under it. But 2.5 tog is probably the typical choice for winter, that’s what we had for our Feb baby anyway!

FYI that’s the same one I mean- Grobag got bought by Tommee Tippee a few years ago!

We liked the Love to Dream ones best. Our baby naturally slept with her arms up so seemed to prefer that position to the Tommee Tippee arms in ones. They are also suitable from newborn. We used 2.5 tog for winter and roughly followed their clothing guide.
