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

I must admit I wasn’t sold on the muslin blankets...in fact my sister in law gave me two she had from her kid. They sat in her changing table until...my daughter (2 months old at the time) decided she can’t sleep without her blanket up by her face. These are completely breathable. I have layered them as much as I could and tried breathing myself. (We move it away constantly and when it’s bed time at night I completely take it away since I’m not watching her) But if that wasn’t the best reason to get them wait until it’s 80+ degrees outside and you want something light to cover your little one with.

I wearily splurged on these myself but now cannot say enough good things about these blankets, they are seriously the only ones we use and I always need at least 2 with me. They are so soft, compact, layer-able, and breathable to prevent overheating. I frequently use them as swaddling blankets, burp cloths, sun shade, a nursing cover, and a blanket for him to play/ roll on! (receiving blankets are useless, and those tummy time mats are too bulky and too small, too hot...even the muslin version of these available in babies r us and target arent the same quality... theyre 10 inches smaller than these) I was even cold in the car once and threw one on and it was perfect, but yet theyre not too hot when Im nursing and its really hot out. Its like they adjust temperature or something! I have repeatedly used these as a backdrop for photos too... they are so beautiful! The baby just looks gorgeous laying on them, loosely wrapped in them, or tightly swaddled in the adorable and tasteful prints. I have a 4 month old, and these are still an absolute necessity for naptime or bedtime. I swaddle him tight in these (hes tall and these still work perfectly!) and he drifts right off to dreamland like magic.

These are so handy for little ones. We have used them as swaddles, blankets, play areas (to cover carpet when we arent at home), burp cloths when there isnt one handy. They are the perfect weight and thickness!

Beautiful girlie prints. I love all of them

Loves these. We use them for everything. From covering our newborn to nursing him, when our other little ones get cold in the car, and everything in between.

Aden + anais has a less expensive version of blanket, but they are made for Target etc. and are smaller and less quality. I suggest buying these more expensive muslin blankets. Its so worth it! Wish I hadnt wasted money on other receiving blankets. They are light weight and airy, it feels like youre wrapped in a cloud. I live in Hawaii where its moist and warm so these blankets are absolutely perfect. They allow your skin to breathe. The blankets are still warm when its chilly. You determine the temp of them by how many layers you use. They are large and versatile. I use them as a quick nursing cover up when its hot out and my shall is too warm. They work great as a car seat cover from the wind or sprinkle. They are also great for laying on the grass in the park for some outdoor time with baby. The designs are super cute and I wont be buying any other kind of receiving blanket and will buy them for my friends whom are expecting!

I have come to love aden + anais. I also have the aden by a+a musy squares which I also love but not much of the other aden by a+a, but love aden + anais. I own quite a few things different styles n what not. I loved these Jungle book theme blankets since they were released, I saw the price go down and purchased immediately. Now I notice with the muslin swaddle blankets -even from other brands- different prints may have different texture or be softer than another, for example an all white or solid color seems to be softer than the others. I have a+a swaddles with prints; Like whiz kid set which has colors and different prints and those are still soft but these Jungle book ones just seem so rough. Theyre pretty but, I probably wouldnt purchase these if I knew what I know now. Idk if some just turn out that way bc I have seen in the past people get the same set as myself & leave a not great review, saying they arent soft while mine are dreamy soft, So idk, maybe depends on preference or personal opinion, maybe some batches come out slightly differently which idk how thatd happen but just saying, I dont know. I am keeping them anyways. cute for the boys & as far as I know so far these swaddles hold up and last a long time and my boys will snuggle them all for quite some time!

So cute and they ended up being my favorite things I’ve bought for this baby! They are definitely on the expensive side for swaddles, but I just can’t get over how adorable they are! This was a splurge that I am glad that I am thankful for. I use these swaddles for everything, I cover up surfaces to put the baby down on, use it to cover the carrier so people don’t sneeze on her when going out and about, and of course I use it to make her a baby burrito when she is sleeping.

These are my favorite blankets for newborns.

Ive used several different kinds of baby blankets and receiving blankets for our first boy and found that nothing could keep him swaddled and comfortable especially during the summer months. I finally purchased the aden + anais swaddles from Target and those were great. We could get a tight swaddle when he was little and once he didnt need to be swaddled anymore, we could still use them as blankets. After 2 years, he still loves them! With baby #2, we decided to go with the classic ones since they are larger and love them just as much (if not more). Although they are more expensive, I have a closet full of baby blankets that were only used a couple of times and added up, costs a lot more than these. After a few months, they are getting softer and softer and is a great all around blanket. I use it to swaddle him, cover the car seat carrier, nursing cover and always keep one in the diaper bag. The patterns are very cute and love the animal print...it gives just enough color and playfulness to them.
