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

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.

These are huge! I felt crazy for splurging on blankets because it seems like thats what baby always gets as gifts! I am so glad I did! These are the 47 x 47 set and great for a nursing cover and car seat cover in the summer as well as just great breathable but cozy blanket. This size was a little to much fabric for my 7 lb 4 oz newborn to be swaddled in (however I do not claim to be the swaddle master), but youre in luck because aden + anais makes smaller ones 44x44 and 42x42 so just keep an eye out! These are a must have

I use these swaddle blankets for just about everything; an extra layer, swaddling, cleaning up baby messes, burp cloths, etc. I love how lightweight yet warm they are! I highly recommend them to parents of newborns.

My daughter is already 2 y.o. I still use it as a blanket for her. She loves it. Caring it everywhere. The quality is just superb. I machine wash it every day and after 2+ years it is just like a new. My baby and I just love it.

This was a baby shower gift for my daughter. She really loves the items.

I was hesitant to spend more money on these name brand blankets, but I am SO glad I did. My son sweats like CRAZY in the night and has since he was born. (He is now 4 months old.) I was looking for a swaddle blanket that was breathable, yet LARGE, because my son already weighs over 15 pounds. Every blanket I used was too small, and the bigger ones werent breathable, and he would sweat like crazy in them. I am in LOVE with these blankets. They are so large that they will comfortably swaddle him as he continues to grow! And they are breathable. So although I wrap him around and around multiple times, the swaddle doesnt feel thick all around him. It is fantastic. Our son never breaks out of these blankets either because we do the straight jacket swaddle technique. (Not cruel at all!) Look it up on YouTube if your baby keeps breaking out of the swaddle. I tell you, this technique is amazing! I love how easy these blankets are to wash, and I love how soft they are when they come out of the dryer. These blankets have truly been fantastic. Im REALLY glad I got four. I always have at least one to use if/when the others are in the laundry hamper. I recommend these to ALL MOMS. This is a really great product.

The 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.

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.

These worked well as swaddles during my sons first few weeks. Then he started squirming way more and would get out of these so fast. They’re not stretchy so as long as he fussed long enough he’d get out of them. So now I use them as blankets, covers, etc. I do love them. The only thing is I noticed that the ones I bought here on amazon(animal print) is much thinner than the ones I received from my friend as a baby shower gift(star print). A little weird but okay... still okay for what I use them for.

These blankets are so soft and amazing. We received them as a gift and I bought a second set 2 years ago. They wore really well and the colours stayed fairly true. I didnt find them particularly good for getting a tight swaddle, but we found a million other uses for them every day. He laid on them and under them, and played on them. I could use them to cover him in the heat of summer and they were so breathable that I never worried he would over heat. The more we washed them the softer they became. Theyre such good quality that I expect them to survive right through baby number 2. I gave four stars instead of five because they are ridiculously expensive. Try to get them on sale.
