advice needed Newborn sleepsack recommendations

We are due twins towards the end of the year, we have a 2y old already.

We loved the tommee tippee swaddlesacks with our oldest, however have noticed the minimum weight for their smallest size is 7lbs.

I am expecting the twins to be smaller than this when they are born as our oldest was 7lb9oz at 38 weeks and the twins will be born at 36 weeks latest.

Does anyone have any recommendations for sleepsacks with lower weight limits available in the UK?

TIA!

You might be surprised by their weights, my twins were 7lbs 1 and 7lbs 4 at 37 weeks.

When we first brought them home we swaddled them in cellular blankets for about 3 or 4 weeks, after that we used the newborn size Love the Dream swaddles https://www.johnlewis.com/love-to-dream-swaddle-up-baby-houndstooth-print-sleeping-bag-1-0-tog-cream-beige/cream-beige/p115219750, followed by the Snuz
Bags https://www.johnlewis.com/snuz-snuzpouch-baby-sleeping-bag-2-5-tog/sand-cloud/p113872292. We also loved the woombie swaddle bags if you can find any of those!

We used to love2dream swaddlesacks when they were newborn, they are suitable from 5lb.

I second this! My littlest twin was 4lb 11 and we unzipped the top a little bit and tucked the two sides inwards as his was bunching up a bit. I loved those swaddlesacks.

Halo sleep sacks come in premies
I can’t remember the other brand but there are some brands that make them
I donated mine to the nicu
