aden + anais Essentials Baby Muslin Swaddle Blankets, Newborn Receiving Blanket for Swaddling, 100% Cotton Baby Swaddle Wrap, 4 Pack, Dino Jungle

I bought the Mod Turtle blankets on sale just to see what the hype was with these Aden & Anais swaddling blankets. I just had my baby a couple of weeks ago and had packed one of the blankets to use at the hospital. The designs on the blankets were cute and I liked the softness and lightness of the blanket which is great for warm/hot weather. I got nothing but compliments from the 10+ different nurses we had during our 3 day stay at the hospital on the blankets. My son had moderate jaundice and needed to get phototherapy treatment. He hated being in the incubator and cried nonstop but if he had a blanket lightly swaddled around him like a nest, he did fine. Of course, the Aden & Anais blanket went in the incubator where he received phototherapy treatment. Best of all, the lightweight, airy fabric was great because it allowed my son to get his treatment without overheating in the already super warm incubator with the blanket around him like a nest. The traditional flannel blankets would've been too bulky and add too much heat. Overall, I would recommend these blankets and they're worth trying out!

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’m very happy with this purchase, good quality, great size, cute design, and light weight, very cute for baby shower gift.

Sooooooo soft and CUTE!!! Very washable. These blankets are my grand daughters FAVORITE BLANKIES!! She won’t go anywhere without them!!

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.

Let me just say, I live in hawaii and it gets real hot in the summer. These swaddle blankets were a life saver when I came home from the hospital with a hot, sweaty crying newborn. My baby will be a year old in 2 weeks, and we still use these EVERYDAY. The more you wash them, the softer they get. Here are all the different ways I use them : As an infant swaddle blanket. They stay cool when hot, and keep them warm when a little chilly. As a sunshade to cover to carseat or stroller. Also protects from the wind. My baby is fair-skinned, so I cover his little legs when we go for walks in the afternoon. At the beach I would drape it over the carseat so the sand wouldn't blow in his face. As a sheet-blanket, in the crib since I stopped swaddling him. They are totally breathable so you don't have to worry about their little faces getting covered. As a comfort item for him to sleep with, ride in the car with, and he loves to chew or suck on the ends. I figured it was better than a specific doll or toy, since these are replaceable, and now he totally associates them and calms down when it nap time. I am expecting another baby in a few months, and I am sure these will last a very long time. Worth every penny and then some.

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've been purchasing aden + anais muslin blankets for decades and these are my 'go to' blankets for the children in our program. They last for years, even decades with weekly washing. The quality far surpasses any blankets I've used. The printed patterns do fade over the years with weekly washing and use 5 days a week, but that fading usually happens after a couple years and is still discernable, just faded. I do not however use as a swaddling blanket, we use as a nap blanket for our 18mo/+ group of children. They love having their own printed design, which helps them identify their special blanket. These are long enough to cover our kiddos ages up to 4 years. The softness is unsurpassed.

My favorite muslin cloths: large, soft, and incredibly versatile. An absolute essential

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