aden + anais Swaddle Blanket, Boutique Muslin Blankets for Girls & Boys, Baby Receiving Swaddles, Ideal Newborn & Infant Swaddling Set, Perfect Shower Gifts, 4 Pack, Harry Potter

As a new mom I was struggling when swaddling my son. He would always come out of the swaddle! I even started to say my son hated to be swaddled. Until a friend swaddled him and he slept like a baby!!!! She recommended these and it was God send. The blanket is long and light enough that made swaddling easy. Since it its so big, in a way it grows with the baby. Ive been able to swaddle him since he was 2 weeks old and continue to do it now at 4 months (but now we swaddle him with the hands outside). I also used it to cover my son from the sun when we are in the car, as a tummy time blanket and lately (apparently) as a chewing toy as my son loves to sucks on it. One of the best baby gear investments we have made.

Update: After using these for a month, my original prediction was correct. I should have returned these and got my money back because they’re near impossible to use as swaddles. I thought after washing they would get softer, but they have remained scratchy. They stretch out too easily and don’t keep their shape, and I can never get them tight enough to safely swaddle my little one. I stand with my original recommendation — save yourself some money and get the Target swaddles — you’ll get 4 for a third of the price you pay for these and the quality is hands down way better than these. I have to say, for all the rave reviews Ive heard about the aden + anais swaddles, Im incredibly underwhelmed. They are no where near as soft as they portray; my Target and Walmart swaddles are softer then these, and they cost 1/3 of the price. If it werent for the fact that my childs room theme is Harry Potter, and the prints for this theme are few and far between, I would return these. Honestly dont even think Im going to use them as swaddles, probably more like burp rags or play blankets. Not recommended.

My grandsons absolutely love this blanket! Other blankets would shed fibers and have clumps, but not these blankets. The blankets got softer after many washes.

These swaddles are the best! We got a couple as hand me downs and I knew when these ones went on sale that we were going to need more. Theyre perfect-- large enough to actually bundle our little dude, but thin enough that we can fold them into a square for his cute little monthly pictures or use them in his car seat. They only get softer with every wash!

These are a must-have new baby item. We use them for everything - car seat blankets, burp cloths, and swaddling! They are the perfect all-around, any-time-of-year blanket to use for babies of all ages. They are probably the safest and easiest-to-use swaddling blanket (and if you dont know how to swaddle, learn how now because it is what is helping our baby sleep through the night). For us, the pre-made swaddling contraptions (SwaddleMe, Miracle Blanket, etc) dont work because our daughter is a little Houdini and can easily break out of those. However, when we use A+A blankets and wrap her securely, she is snug as a bug and falls asleep instantly. The light-weight cotton is the safest material for a baby and makes this blanket perfect for all times of year. During the cold months we are using the blankets in conjunction with a sleep sack so baby can be swaddled and also warm. These are seriously the item we have used the most during our first 5 weeks. I freak out when they all simultaneously end up in the wash, so just ordered another set. They have been well worth the money. They will also be the item that Ill be purchasing for friends expecting a new baby. I initially thought $50 for blankets was absurd, but they are worth it.

Great look and quality! We bought it when our son just was born and used to use it for car seat, stroller, bassinet and anywhere u can possibly imagine. This blanket is very brizeable, light and a very good size too. Very cute blankets! So, now our son is 19 months old and we actually still using it at home for his crib. I highly recommend this product from newborn and up. If you worry about price. I would say 4 of them would be more then enough. As long as you have more affordable other thick receiving blankets. I also want to say that I was a little mad and bought a lot of similar blankets from a different companies. And I must say Aden + antis are my absolute favorite. I stopped using the other ones as they are not as near as good as this one.

Our favorite baby blankets EVER! They are so soft and the fabric is breathable! They are perfect for swaddling but are big enough to be used for toddlers as well. I got many of these for our newborn baby, when they came in my oldest son (3 years old) wanted one and it is now his favorite blanket. I love how they are very durable but lightweight. These are much bigger than most swaddled blankets which keeps the baby from pulling the swaddle apart. When I first saw the price, I was unsure if they would be worth it but they are!!! After I received the first set, I bought more! Aden+Anais classic muslin blankets are a must have!!!!

These beat all other receiving blankets. I use them for absolutely everything baby related. Genuinely a must have and the designs are so pretty.

I purchased these three years ago and Im now just writing a review. Why? Im still using them and all are holding up so extremely well. At first I purchased these as swaddling blankets/cloths and used them for changing diapers in area that had iffy surfaces out in public (Im looking at you restaurant and department store baby changer station). We have used these to sit on in the grass outside and on public park benches. My kids have used these as capes while playing superheros, and a light blanket in the hot summer months. Later they were used for tent and den making in the house - in addition to the sofa cushions, and as pretend play ghosties over the years. However, now that they have grown out of them, I use them. These are perfect for wrapping up medium-long hair after a shower, or for patting my face dry. Sure, the color has faded after three years, but all of them are in phenomenal shape considering how many washes theyve been through. Would I purchase these again - absolutely! These are also the first items I buy for other expectant moms.

I bought these swaddles before my baby was born. I had no idea how amazing they would be. I saw all the good reviews and saw that everyone liked them, but couldnt imagine why anyone would want to spend so much money on something that seemed like a piece of fabric..... I understand now. These have been a lifesaver for us. They are amazing. My baby cannot sleep without being swaddled. He was born small (6 lbs 11 oz) but grew very fast (about 20 lbs by 6 months) and these swaddles still work perfectly. Hes also long, so his feet do stick out sometimes after I swaddle, but it still does the job. These swaddles are soft and stretchy and a really breathable fabric. LOVE THEM. Highly recommend these. Will buy another set for my next baby. These would be a wonderful gift for a new mom.
