Beautiful girlie prints. I love all of them

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!

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.

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 just purchased these original Aden & Anais swaddles. Shipping and packaging was great. The print on these swaddles is adorable! Bright colors and super cute patterns. However, Im not so sure about the quality. The Swaddle Designs muslin swaddle blankets I have for my daughter are much softer and less gauze-like. They are tightly woven but still breathable so you dont see any little holes and they dont rip. When stretched, you dont see any holes. These A+A swaddles I just received are a bit more rough but hoping theyll soften after a few washes. Also, the weave seems more open and has very visible holes which Im afraid may tear or rip after a few uses or washes. I got these on sale but I wouldnt pay full price for them. The quality seems the same as the cheaper Target version (Aden by aden+anais). Only the price tag is higher for the original A+A swaddles (which is a shame because these are supposed to be better quality, hence the higher price). My son isnt here yet but Ill update the review if these dont hold up as well as Im hoping they do.

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!

An absolute must-have for all new moms. Hands down the comfiest blankets out there. My 5yo still has his (the same ones gifted to us when he was born) and someone bought these for me for my newest addition. They are incredibly durable and so, so soft. Also lightweight which is perfect for us in Arizona. I would give more stars if I could. Highly recommend!

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.

We use this day in and day out and have given away it donated the other brands of swaddle blankets we received. These are all you need, soft, just enough stretch to get a comfortable wrap, the perfect size for even a larger baby, adorable colors, and absorbent when you inevitably have to use it to mop up some spit up.

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.
