I could rave about these blankets all day. Id never heard of them until I received one as a shower gift two years ago for our first baby - I quickly realized these blankets are one of the all-time best baby products ever invented. Absolutely ideal for so many uses: swaddling (theyre bigger than typical receiving blankets, stretchy, and so soft), burp cloths when youre in a pinch (absorbent!), a great nursing cover when its hot outside (breathable and light, but you cant see through them), stroller covers, ground covers when you want to lay baby on the grass...the list goes on and on. My now-2-year-old son is never without his; its become a security blanket, too. As others have mentioned, they wash so well - they get softer the more you wash them, and dont hold on to stains (two and a half years of daily use by a messy baby-turned-toddler, and his is still pristine white). I love giving these blankets as shower gifts for first-time moms or ladies who didnt have one with their previous babies, and hearing the inevitable raves from the new mom a few months later. :) They are absolutely perfect!!

These are my favorite blankets for newborns.

When my first son was born (4 1/2 years ago) I had heard how wonderful these blankets were. I saw the price tag and decided no blanket was worth that. (Yes, I am a know cheapskate, though I prefer the word frugal.) When my third son was soon to be born (4 months ago) my sister in law ordered me one off of eBay. I was semi excited to get one just so I could say I had one, but I was sure it was no big deal. I got it in the mail, washed it and fell in love. I loved how light and airy it felt, I loved that I could throw it over my face and have no issue in breathing, I LOVED how big it was, and I loved how cute it was. I brought it to the hospital with me so I could use it right away. When it comes to swaddling, I am horrible at it. Even watching videos didnt help, but I was capable of swaddling my son in this blanket. When his blanket was in the wash, I hated to use the other blankets and couldnt wait for the dryer to finish. Eventually I got so tired of it that I broke down and bought this pack. I am so glad I did. I have tried a few other muslin blankets, but these are my favorites.

Oh my gosh how I love these blankets! My son is 9 months old and Ive been using them since he was brought home from the hospital. He was born in August (and Im from Alabama so the heat was extreme) and was able to swaddle him in these without him burning up. They are very thin and allow for air flow, but not so thin that it wont keep a newborn warm. My son still loves to cuddle with these blankets. Theyve held up very well over the last 9 months. I havent had any problems at all with them. They are fine in the washer and dryer with baby clothes. And they are super, super soft. A word of caution, make sure you get the ones that say 47X47, because then you know you are getting the more expensive boutique blankets. The smaller ones arent as good of quality and I found that you cant swaddle your baby for nearly as long because they quickly outgrow them (my son liked to be swaddled until he was about 8 months, so I definitely needed the larger ones). I would highly recommend these. They may be expensive for baby blankets but they are SOOOOO worth it. Especially since these are the only blankets you need.

Love how soft they are!

When I first came across these (at Target) I could not believe the price! 4 little thin blankets for $29.99!! I did not buy them at first, but the next couple of months I kept seeing Moms with these blankets. When I would ask the other Moms about the blankets (mainly venting on how high the price is) 9 times out of 10 the response was It was a gift, but I love them. After reading all the reviews I decided to order a set. I ordered the paparazzi print which matched perfectly with my Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat in Cubes. I liked the size of the blankets and I thought these would be perfect to put over the car seat covering baby but letting air flow through. I was very satisfied with these! After a week or so I ordered a second set. These blankets are perfect for in the house. We mainly got those thick, soft blankets having a winter baby in Colorado. What people didnt realize is my house is 72 degrees inside all year so having a thick blanket would overheat him not to mention the risk of suffocation. These are the only blankets I allow in the crib. They are safe!!! My 2 1/2 year old also loves these blankets. They are big enough for her. They hold up very well. I wash them once a week and I have had them for about 6 months now. P.S. Seventh Generation laundry soap which is easy on clothes. I am only giving them 4 stars because of the price. I think $29.99 is fair and if your not to picky with the print you can get a set for that price. I wish they where all the same price. I really like the Liam the Brave print but I cant justify spending $20 more!! Muslin is cheap so I can only imagine the mark up in these.

We 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.

These are the perfect size and weight for swaddling a newborn! Get softer the more you wash and dry them. Also work as a summer weight blanket in a stroller or car seat. Or, drape one over the car seat or stroller to keep sun and bugs off baby, but let cool breezes in. Use them on the floor for tummy time, too. Very cute patterns. Wash and dry beautifully time after time. Truly a layette/newborn essential item.

I love these blankets and use them for everything- swaddling my daughter, rolling them up and using them to prop my arm up while she’s nursing, draping over her car seat, even as a backdrop for pictures of her- by far our favorite blankets that we use! Super breathable and very soft.

This is a baby shower gift that looks absolutely beautiful to me, although I did not open the package. I hope that the parents would enjoy this gift Mon Fleur, welcoming their new baby. Every baby is a blessing and a gift being cherished by the family!
