> 24 hourPerfect all purpose swaddle blankets! I buy these for pretty much every baby shower I go to. They are large, soft, absorbent. stretchy and work great as swaddles, burp cloths, sun covers, mats, a light blanket, emergency changing pad, anything... Throw it over your car seat when the sun is blazing over the parking lot, and it will keep the seat cool upon your return trip, throw this breathable blanket over your stroller, and give baby some shelter from the sun or help baby take a nap, throw it over your shoulder, and you have a soft burp cloth for babys head, tuck it tightly under a pnp mattress, and you have a last minute, soft and clean travel sheet that smells like home, hang it outside the pnp to keep out the suns morning rays or just hide baby from the distraction of mommy and daddy sleeping close by in the hotel room (this one is a favorite). These are also my favorite swaddle blankets as they are so light and breathable - no worries about overheating, especially for summer babies. They are smushy and take up very little space in a diaper bag, despite their size, and they weigh almost nothing. Just Love Love Love. Oh, and the cheaper ones being sold at Target, BBB and Babies R Us, etc. are not the same. They are still good, I have both, but the quality and softness is just not the same. Also, the cheaper ones are smaller in size.

> 24 hourBreathability through the fabric! Softness before and after washing. Just the right size to cover me and baby when feeding - so much better than small burp pads. Love these! Future baby shower gifts :)

> 24 hourI ordered these after buying what I thought were the originals that everyone on here raves about. I had found them in a local store and thought I was getting a deal. When I realized they were different, I ordered these to see if I could differentiate between the two and thought that I may as well have more baby blankets than not if they turned out to be as amazing as everyone says. When they arrived and I compared them to what I already have, I couldnt tell the difference at all. The feel of the fabric was 100% identical to what I bought (for less money). Amazon also sells the ones I bought and at the same price--I would have gotten them on here if I hadnt thought I was getting a deal elsewhere; theyre the ones that are around $35 and two inches or so smaller on each side than these. I wound up returning these since they werent amazing enough for me to spend so much money on and have so many blankets in the house. They are definitely huge--but the smaller size are large as well and I think theyll be just fine for me and for our new baby girl. In fact, I was surprised that these blankets werent softer from the way everyone raves about this brand and the way the reviews all refer specifically to making sure new parents order the originals instead of the others which are still brand name. If I had to do it again, Id stick with my decision to keep the less expensive, slightly smaller version rather than spending a lot more for a couple more inches on each side.

> 24 hourWe were gifted a set for our first baby and when we got pregnant a second time this was first on our wish list. Perfect for swaddling - our little one outgrew traditional swaddling blankets within two weeks. The give of the muslin allows for a snug, secure swaddle and the patterns are adorable for both a girl and boy. This is also the gift that we send to all expecting parents.

> 24 hourWe use this day in and day out and have given away it donated the other brands of swaddle blankets we received. These are all you need, soft, just enough stretch to get a comfortable wrap, the perfect size for even a larger baby, adorable colors, and absorbent when you inevitably have to use it to mop up some spit up.

> 24 hourThe best swaddling blankets around! These are my go to gift for all baby showers. They are perfect squares which make a HUGE difference in getting a perfect swaddle. They are also large enough to accomadate even the biggest newborns (mine was 10lbs at birth and these were the only ones that worked for her). The material just gets softer with each wash but the prints dont fade. My 2 year old still uses these to cover up with at night. They are thick enough to keep her warm but dont make her overheat. When giving as gifts, I like to split them up into sets of two and have the corners monogrammed with the new babys name or initials. I also own a set of bamboo aden + anais and prefer these as they are easier to swaddle with and a little thicker.

> 24 hourThese blankets, plus the rocknplay, caused me to actually get enough sleep when I had a 2 year old and a newborn! I didnt want to worry about baby overheating, so I would lay this blanket in the rocknplay, then lay baby down, then wrap the blanket around him and tuck the sides in. It wasnt a true swaddle, but still kept him covered (just from the waist down), and he felt comfortably tucked in. He slept really well with this combination. I like that these arent heavy like flannel or fleece blankets, and they are not too warm. I find that they are big enough that they still cover my 3.5 year old if he wants to sleep with a light blanket. And they still look as good as new after many washings, for 2 years straight.

> 24 hourI just had my 3rd baby. My first, no way he would allow a swaddle and slept beautifully on his back. My second, was small and only liked swaddling from her waist down so you could swaddle her with about anything. My new, adorable bundle of joy absolutely refused to sleep on his back. Initially I gave in to letting him stomach sleep so I could at least get a nap during the day but really wanted to get him to sleep on his back. Everyone said a good tight swaddle would get him to sleep on his back. I tried it and it worked, but, the second he got a little bigger, no blanket could contain this little Houdini. I was on the verge of trying one of the swaddling blankets like the Miracle Blanket but it was sooo expensive for just one blanket that functioned for just one thing. As I read reviews, I came across the Aden + Anais swaddle wraps which had 5 stars and thought, what the heck, I was going to spend that much for just one blanket. The Aden + Anais muslin swaddle wraps are hands down, the BEST blankets and totally worth the money. They are huge but at the same time, any excess you have seems to just fold away without being lumpy. They are soft, lightweight, can be easily layered and man, they hold a swaddle like nothing else. As an added bonus, they come in a variety of patterns- the jungle animals I think are the cutest. If I had it to do all over again, I never would have bought the silly flannel swaddling blankets that everyone gives you- they dont hold a swaddle and are best used as burp cloths. I would have bought the Aden + Anais swaddle wraps from the start and plan to buy a set as my go to baby gift for everyone from now on!
