aden + anais Essentials Muslin Swaddle Blankets for Baby Girls and Boys, Newborn Receiving Blanket for Swaddling, 100% Cotton Baby Swaddle Wrap, 4 Pack, Safari Babes

Fabulous sized swaddles, and just the right thickness for my April baby. The new mom was so in love with these that she would do laundry when they all got dirty rather than using the other flannel swaddles we were given (they just couldn't get a secure swaddle!). After about a week, we had to order a second set. I was able to achieve a very secure swaddle without limiting her pelvic mobility by squaring her up to an edge (rather than going diagonally), swaddling arms as normal, and then bringing the bottom edge up and tying it around her. Due to the size and weight of the swaddle, I was able to square knot it with room for her to kick until about 10 lbs/8 weeks. We have used them for other purposes such as a nursing cover and mat when we put her down in public areas. The white ones make for great backdrops for photography due to their large size and slight texture. However, their usefulness steeply decreased after we stopped swaddling, and I only have one out of storage at 5 months old. No regrets, though! Note: The yellow giraffes are cute, but are almost exactly the same color as breast fed baby poop, making it difficult to distinguish design from blowout at a glance. It made me anxious every time I used it. The bees are the same color, but the black boarder around them made is easy to distinguish what was clean and what was dirty.

I recently purchased this Aden & Anais swaddle blanket set as a baby shower gift, and as always, it did not disappoint. I’ve been buying these blankets for years — both for myself and as gifts — and the quality is consistently amazing. They’re soft, breathable, and hold up beautifully wash after wash. Every parent I’ve gifted them to absolutely loves them. A timeless, practical, and thoughtful gift that never goes out of style!

These are my daughter's favorite blankets! We've had them from birth and my toddler is still in love with hers! Now I buy them for all my new mommy friends! When I was pregnant I decided not to buy any because they were expensive, and I had received a ton of blankets at my baby shower. But I received in a big bag of hand-me-downs from a friend and since then it has been a favorite. When I received it, it had been used previously for about a year and it still looked almost new. We've had it for over 18 months now and it is still going strong with no stains or tears! We live in Florida and its humid and hot here almost all year round, so lightweight blankets are a must for swaddling. I used this even in the winter layered with some of her other blankets because her A&A one was her favorite. When she was too old to swaddle (she didn't really like it once she learned that her legs could do entertaining things), she liked to hold it and sometimes teethe on the edge, which never frayed even after she got some teeth. Then she started daycare and she took it with her every day for naptime. Since she's been talking she calls it her "beetie", she has no names for her other blankets. She isn't super attached to it like some kids are to their blankets or other lovies, but this one definitely has a special place in her heart compared to the others. I find myself washing it more often, and if I ask her which blanket she would rather have, she chooses the same one every time. We've used it to block the sun while she napped in her stroller or carseat, its caught tons of spit up, and we've laid it on the floor or ground for her to play on. I eventually did buy some when I was asked to photograph a friend's newborn baby. I had seen somewhere that someone had bought a bunch of A&A blankets and used them as backdrops for newborn photos and I decided to do the same. They were perfect. The colors are just muted enough to provide a backdrop that won't steal the attention from the baby, but they are adorable enough to compliment the theme of the photos. I got a 4 pack at Target during a sale and have never regretted it. The pictures were too sweet, the mom was thrilled, and I had 4 new A&A blankets! They are small so they don't take up a lot of room like a big backdrop might. I found a ton of different ways to use them in the pictures, and I only had 4! In short, these blankets are comfy, lightweight, durable enough to use for multiple kids, way bigger than your average flannel receiving blanket (so they can swaddle baby as they grow, and eventually use as regular blanket), and have multiple uses. These are 100% worth every penny.

The best lightweight material in subtle colors. I keep paying attention to other swaddles I see, and these are still my favorite. They roll up into a very small size which makes them ideal to have a few in the diaper bag. They can double as a burp cloth, something to change your baby on if the diaper changing station is gross, extra layers at night, or even put around their backside when they have soaked their diaper and you can’t change it right away! My very favorite is the animals. I appreciate that they don’t look like cartoons!

Soft and sweet and so useful to swaddle babies

I love the large size of these swaddles. They are super soft and the cute patterns are a perfect addition to any nursery. They work great to help swaddle your little one to help them sleep through the night.

I bought these as a gift but have also received aden+anais swaddle blankets as gifts myself. At first I didn't understand what the fuss was about b/c I really didn't use them to swaddle my baby and he was born in January so it was super cold out and these were too thin to use as a blanket. As a swaddle, I don't love them - they tend to be too stretchy and even though my husband was a far better swaddler then me, our son would break out of these really easily. But as an all purpose light blanket, they are great. They really are multi-purpose - used to cover my baby on a slightly chilly day, put down on the carpet so he can play, used to shield him from the sun when I am holding him and its really bright out. And of course they are super cute! I think its a great gift and having one set of four is probably worth the purchase. I haven't tried competitors brands that are probably cheaper, so they may do the job just as well!

I'm one who doesn't always care about brand names, but in this case, I stick with aden + anais. The blankets are durable, lightweight, and so much larger than the Target brands or other cheaper knock offs. It's worth it for something you're going to use for a long time. My daughter has autism and still carries her blankets around occasionally. They were awesome for swaddling, wash up well and have been WELLLLLLL loved. Some have gotten holes but my daughter is now 9 so I would say that we got our money's worth out of the blankets we've had.

Great blankets. Beautiful pattern and the more you wash the softer they get.

Took lot of time to deliver ! But i totally love this product !

Ils sont magnifiques ! Aucun rapport avec Disney. Les photos sont conforme, des légumes ded oies... esprit campagne

I absolutely love these swaddles! They’re generously large and made of soft cotton, which makes them so versatile. I first used them with my daughter 6 years ago, and we still use them today – that’s how durable they are. What I love most is that with every wash they get even softer, without losing quality. The size is perfect for swaddling, but we’ve also used them as stroller covers, lightweight blankets, nursing covers, and even as comfort blankets as my kids got older. They’ve held up amazingly well after countless washes and years of use. Truly one of the best baby essentials I’ve ever bought. Highly recommend to any parent looking for something long-lasting, practical, and super soft.
