What tog do you used for your babies swaddle? Looking to purchase the “love to dream” not sure if I need 1.5tog or 2.5?
do you use a blanket on top of a swaddle? I’m confused

I had an October baby and used a 2.5 tog with vest and baby grow underneath. Never needed a blanket on top.

Same, you’ll drop tog in spring!

It depends on the temp of your house, we keep ours between 20-22 so use a 1 tog. No need for any blanket using a love to dream swaddle.

I’d probably go 2.5 tog as well, unless you tend to have the heating on overnight. Love to dream have a temperature guide and guide to what to dress them in underneath the swaddle on their website, which is a good starting point.

You don’t need a blanket with the swaddle, you’d normally use either/or. I will say that some babies like being swaddled, mine didn’t 😅 I had the love to dream swaddle thing but only used it once or twice.

We are also in London - we bought a gro egg room thermometer and then went by this chart. https://www.babycentre.co.uk/a25024140/what-should-my-baby-wear-at-night-infographic

We dont have the heating on over night but generally it only dropped 1-2c overnight so we used the room temp at bedtime as a guide. Remember baby will be in your room for the first six months at least so if the temp drops, you can always add a vest during a night wake.
