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.

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.

Breathability through the fabric! Softness before and after washing. Just the right size to cover me and baby when feeding - so much better than small burp pads. Love these! Future baby shower gifts :)

First of all, I will say these are great blankets...big, breathable, cute, etc. but if youve read any of the other reviews, you already know all of that. Heres what I wished I had read before I purchased: 1. If you are like me, you have no idea what the heck muslin is. Well, as they say, its a soft breathable cotton. The best way to describe it is like a cotton gauze, much like the material used in burp cloth diapers. The exception is, this is much higher quality, making it stronger than gauze, and its only 1 ply, so its more breathable than a cloth diaper. 2. This listing is confusing, because it mixes up the wraps and the blankets. If you want the larger 47x47 wraps, then go for the ones that have $49.99 listed as the list price. If you want the smaller 42x42, then go for the ones with the list price of $34.99. 3. What is so great about these blankets? I was trying to figure out why everyone was so in love with these things, and heres what Ive deduced...these are MUCH larger than other swaddling blankets, and also much thinner. So, you can wrap your baby up in a nice tight swaddle,with the blanket wrapped completely around them and under their back and they are not too bulky. If you were to have a typical swaddling blanket of the same size, by the time you wrapped up the baby, they probably wouldnt fit in the bassinet, and their head would be 4 inches off the ground. 4. You still have to have swaddling skills. This is not like a swaddleme or sleep sack swaddler. No velcro, no magic. Personally, I am a terrible swaddler and my baby was out of this blanket in 6 minutes flat the first time I used it. But Im getting better. I have no choice, since my rather large 3 month old has outgrown all of the magical swaddling options. All in all though, a nice functional set of blankets. And I have no doubt these will still be getting tons of use while the swaddlemes have long been donated away.

I have loved these blankets since I babysat my friends daughter and she always had one with her. We used one from this pack as one of the backdrops for my sons newborn pictures and it worked perfect!

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.

I super love these pretty swaddle blanket! It’s big, feels soft and very useful. I use it for my baby as a swaddling blanket and I use it during breast pumping, very versatile! My baby and I can still use these forever! Lol! I have 6 blankets and I love to have more of these!

Why should you pay $50 for swaddle blankets when you can bring a bunch home from the hospital gratis? Thats what we kept asking ourselves. But after a few weeks when your little one(s) get just a touch bigger and kick just a touch stronger, youll realize that the size of the hospital issue swaddle blankets (or the many better patterned similar ones you can buy for half the price of these) arent big enough to get a tight swaddle. The aden + anais muslin blankets are much bigger, giving you much more material to use for wrapping your burrito. And the breathable fabric helps keep your baby from overheating (whoever told us that babies dont sweat lied). This is definitely a splurge product, but its one youre going to use on a regular and worth it. And if youre looking to cut corners cost wise, find a smaller pack not a lesser swaddle. Weve got twins and the 4-pack is more than enough for two.

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.

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.
