This are a must for every baby. They are large enough to swaddle well without being too bulky. They breath well and they get softer with every wash. I have ordered a new set for all three of my kids and they hold up so well. My 2 year old uses the original ones I got 7+ years ago. He doesn’t go anywhere without them. This is a great gift to welcome a new baby.

These blankets are amazing. When you first get them, they dont seem that soft but dont fret, they will soften in the wash a little. However, I like that they are not as soft and slick as the swaddle designs. Because they are a little rougher, they dont shrink nearly as much and are easier to fold. Another benefit to the slight roughness is that your baby stays swaddled. My little one is an escape artist and would never stay swaddled in the swaddle designs but she still hasnt been able to escape a swaddle with these blankets. And the colors are wonderful! Just as bright as the picture. And they have held up to several washings a week.

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 was hesitant to buy these blankets because of how much they cost. Im so glad I did though. These are the BEST. Ive used them for almost everything: swaddling, stretching over the car seat with a fan inside during the middle of summer when theres no shade or a/c nearby, covering the car window to block the sun from the baby in the car seat on long trips, as a regular blankie, you name it. I wish I bought these sooner, and I now gift them and recommend them to everyone. Theyre nice and large to do with as you want, and they dont get hot to where you have to worry about overheating in the summer. Theyre honestly great for all temps, which is nice.

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.

It was a gift

I LOVE these blankets. I was skeptical, thinking Do I really need expensive swaddle blankets? The answer? I bought 4 more as they are in constant use. They are light, breathable and soft. The lightness will be perfect for summer, but I doubled the blankets to use in the winter. The blanket rolls up so small, one is constantly in my diaper bag. Ive started using this instead of my nursing cover, and I think it even works better. My colicky baby only sleeps with her eyes covered, and with the breathable nature of these blankets, Im much more comfortable to swaddle her with a little hood to cover her eyes (dont worry, shes well monitored!). The generous size is key, too. It makes it so easy to swaddle. When my baby was a newborn, I folded them in half to form a triangle and swaddled that way, but now shes bigger, I fold down the top corner. Theres plenty of room. Im sure I can still swaddle her up to a year, if she needs it (like her brother did!) Also, check out Double Swaddle on youtube, as recommended by another reviewer. Its a great way to secure the wiggly older babies who still enjoy swaddling for sleep. I say, go for it!

Bought these for my niece and nephews baby. I have gifted many of these blankets. They are wonderful! I like the larger size 47x47 cm. These can be used for everything including swaddling. They are a must have for new babies.

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.

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!
