> 3 dayI didnt realize just how much wed love these when i registered for a set before my first baby. They are beautiful swaddles, lightweight and wash up well. We use them nightly to swaddle our July-born baby (they are not too hot), as well as to prop his head up with breastfeeding, cover in stroller, car seat and swing, and lay him on for diaper changes, tummy time, etc. I love them so much I bought another set so I have 8 which is perfect. The rockstar set is much softer than the high seas - I think because of the print. Our baby is starting to be a little tall for the full body swaddle at 6 weeks (11 lb, 24 in) - we just tuck the tail end of swaddle into the swaddle fold as opposed to over the shoulder. He can break out of these swaddles once he wakes up but Im ok with that as hes in the bassinet right next to me so I can hear him waking as he grunts to bust out :). These keep his legs nice and compact as opposed to the sleepsack which restrains arms better but with his little legs flailing he was always waking up. Some babies also self soothe with hands so its nice he can get them out if he really needs to. Perfect registry/new baby gift.

> 3 dayPurchased these for my daughter 8 years ago. Loved them so much. Purchased them for the birth of her half brother - they are just that good that I had to pass the discovery along. My daughter was swaddled in them, after as burp cloth, bib, play cloth, picknick, company blanked, Sun canopies and so on. She still loves them. Very useful.

> 3 dayWe were gifted a set for our first baby and when we got pregnant a second time this was first on our wish list. Perfect for swaddling - our little one outgrew traditional swaddling blankets within two weeks. The give of the muslin allows for a snug, secure swaddle and the patterns are adorable for both a girl and boy. This is also the gift that we send to all expecting parents.

> 3 dayWe 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

> 3 dayFirst 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.

Greater than one weekHave purchased these blankets for several family and friends babies. They are of the highest quality. Lightweight, soft, warm, variety of colors and prints. Great for swaddling. I worked at a baby store registry and would educate the new moms-to-be about the quality of these blankets and other items made by Aden and Anais.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayOur son is obsessed with these blankets. We have so many and needed to update some that have gotten quite dirty. These are such a good price. The only thing is one of the blankets came snagged and has put a hole in it and it’s starting to unravel. I’ve never had this happen before.
