These 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.

This was one of my splurge items that I purchased during my first pregnancy. They seemed a bit on the pricey side (and I was on a tight budget), but had such good reviews that I decided to give them a try, and Im glad I did. These were perfect to wrap my baby in during the hot summer nights when he was a newborn. (we dont have AC) Our other swaddle blankets were too thick and hot for swaddling, and our son would NOT sleep unless he was wrapped up. As my baby has grown Ive transitioned to using these to cover the stroller and protect him from the sun, and I use them in grocery store shopping carts instead of buying a specialty cover that Id have to lug around. They are very breathable, and they can roll up to very compact size which is convenient for bringing them on trips. My original pack of 4 blankets has held up to weekly washes for the past 9 months, and looks like they will survive to be used for baby number 2.

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.

One week at home so far, and Ive used ours a decent amount. Theyre soft and lightweight, so we use it to swaddle her when we want a lighter option. The patterns are also super cute, and the blanket is larger than traditional swaddle blankets so you have more room to play with - also more fabric if youre still getting the hang of swaddling. Im sure we will continue to use them for the next few years at least.

I love these. Use them for everything ranging from nursing cover, blanket, shade over the stroller or car seat, spit up cloth, change pad on the go… they are soft and beautiful. One of my must have baby items.

We went a little overboard with our first child back in 2012, and we bought (no joke) six sets, when the price went down from the retail 49 to around 34-35 per box of four blankets. We litter ally use them for everything. We use them as a swaddle, a cover for breastfeeding/pumping, cover on changing pad, cover for public restroom changing tables, stroller cover, infant carrier cover, light blnket to cover our daughters legs when the sun hits .... we use it to cover the boppy when she would be propped up on it... used it in her crib as a crib sheet when she was in the nicu, the neonatologist was amazed at how soft the blankies were..... two years later - they clearly arent used as much but still soft, still used as emergency light blankets that get carried in the backpack for all outings, one in the stroller at all times and one in the car used as a changing pad for when we need to change her diaper in the SUV trunk. none of the blankies have been damaged, or issues of stitching coming out, its almost like the first day we purchased them except tey are softer with all the washes..... we buy them as gifts for friends and family who are expecting as a MUST have item

Love these swaddles. They are big enough to wrap up your little one and keep them warm.

I LOVE these blankets! We have twins and these are now the only blankets we use. We got rid of most of our other blankets and bought several more of these. We own about 30 now. They are very breathable a d extremely soft on our babies delicate eczema prone skin. When doubled up they are also very warm, but not too warm. We live in Arizona and it gets very hot. These blankets let me wrap them so they feel secure without overheating them. I keep several in the car to use as shade from the sun on their stroller and their car seats. Keeps the sun off their face without making them hotter.

We received several Aden + Anais swaddle blankets as gifts for my daughter before she was born, so I ordered these when we found out our second little one is a boy. They came in handy for many different uses outside of the basic swaddle - nursing cover, burp cloth, toy, etc. They were my go-to blanket to keep an extra back-up in the car and diaper bag since they are light weight and dont take up much room. Cute patterns for my soon-to-be son, also! They seem to be rather stiff out of the package, but hoping they soften up with more use like my daughters.

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.
