aden + anais Swaddle Blanket, Boutique Muslin Blankets for Girls & Boys, Baby Receiving Swaddles, Ideal Newborn & Infant Swaddling Set, Perfect Shower Gifts, 4 Pack, Harry Potter

I was given these as a shower gift, and now I give them as a gift for every shower I go to! Mothers like to share good secrets! These muslin wraps really are the perfect swaddler blanket. The blanket is so large (47x47), that it makes swaddling extremely easy. What I love, is that it allows you to swaddle the baby tightly but comfortably so they dont move around or roll over. My baby sleeps with her arms out and they wrap around her so nicely. I love that they are breathable muslin, I feel very safe leaving it in the crib with her. I am still using these swaddlers for our daughter who is now 7 months old. I dont know how a smaller blanket (such as a receiving blanket that others use) could work this good. A bonus is that they are extremely soft too! Another use for these large soft blankets are to use them as a cover over the stroller or car seat to block the sun, but at the same time it lets the air through. I have one set aside for outdoor & car use, it goes with me everywhere. A MUST HAVE FOR ALL BABIES. ** My daughter is now 21 month and her swaddle wrap has turned into her Blankie- she loves it!**

I have a set of the Aden by Aden + Anais (A by A+A) and my baby loves them. Hes become a true Linus (from Peanuts) and wanted to get some more so that I wouldnt have to worry about not having a clean one at all times. I figured Id splurge for these aden +anais (a+a) ones instead of the A by A+A. Comparing the two A by A+A are a little smaller. I have the Safari Friends pack of the A by A+A and the Jungle Jam in the a+a and I personally like the animal designs and colors of the Safari Friends more. Both are very soft and do get softer as you wash/use them. I think the a+a ones are slightly softer, but Im not sure if thats because theyre a little larger and thus almost fluffier when baby bunches it up to hug. He doesnt seem to favor one set over another, he just likes having a blankie period. Overall, Im happy my baby is happy but dont know that I needed to splurge for these since baby would have probably been just as happy with another set of the A by A+A.

Great price, revive as described

I ordered these after buying what I thought were the originals that everyone on here raves about. I had found them in a local store and thought I was getting a deal. When I realized they were different, I ordered these to see if I could differentiate between the two and thought that I may as well have more baby blankets than not if they turned out to be as amazing as everyone says. When they arrived and I compared them to what I already have, I couldnt tell the difference at all. The feel of the fabric was 100% identical to what I bought (for less money). Amazon also sells the ones I bought and at the same price--I would have gotten them on here if I hadnt thought I was getting a deal elsewhere; theyre the ones that are around $35 and two inches or so smaller on each side than these. I wound up returning these since they werent amazing enough for me to spend so much money on and have so many blankets in the house. They are definitely huge--but the smaller size are large as well and I think theyll be just fine for me and for our new baby girl. In fact, I was surprised that these blankets werent softer from the way everyone raves about this brand and the way the reviews all refer specifically to making sure new parents order the originals instead of the others which are still brand name. If I had to do it again, Id stick with my decision to keep the less expensive, slightly smaller version rather than spending a lot more for a couple more inches on each side.

I purchased these three years ago and Im now just writing a review. Why? Im still using them and all are holding up so extremely well. At first I purchased these as swaddling blankets/cloths and used them for changing diapers in area that had iffy surfaces out in public (Im looking at you restaurant and department store baby changer station). We have used these to sit on in the grass outside and on public park benches. My kids have used these as capes while playing superheros, and a light blanket in the hot summer months. Later they were used for tent and den making in the house - in addition to the sofa cushions, and as pretend play ghosties over the years. However, now that they have grown out of them, I use them. These are perfect for wrapping up medium-long hair after a shower, or for patting my face dry. Sure, the color has faded after three years, but all of them are in phenomenal shape considering how many washes theyve been through. Would I purchase these again - absolutely! These are also the first items I buy for other expectant moms.

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!

Perfect all purpose swaddle blankets! I buy these for pretty much every baby shower I go to. They are large, soft, absorbent. stretchy and work great as swaddles, burp cloths, sun covers, mats, a light blanket, emergency changing pad, anything... Throw it over your car seat when the sun is blazing over the parking lot, and it will keep the seat cool upon your return trip, throw this breathable blanket over your stroller, and give baby some shelter from the sun or help baby take a nap, throw it over your shoulder, and you have a soft burp cloth for babys head, tuck it tightly under a pnp mattress, and you have a last minute, soft and clean travel sheet that smells like home, hang it outside the pnp to keep out the suns morning rays or just hide baby from the distraction of mommy and daddy sleeping close by in the hotel room (this one is a favorite). These are also my favorite swaddle blankets as they are so light and breathable - no worries about overheating, especially for summer babies. They are smushy and take up very little space in a diaper bag, despite their size, and they weigh almost nothing. Just Love Love Love. Oh, and the cheaper ones being sold at Target, BBB and Babies R Us, etc. are not the same. They are still good, I have both, but the quality and softness is just not the same. Also, the cheaper ones are smaller in size.

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!

Our favorite baby blankets EVER! They are so soft and the fabric is breathable! They are perfect for swaddling but are big enough to be used for toddlers as well. I got many of these for our newborn baby, when they came in my oldest son (3 years old) wanted one and it is now his favorite blanket. I love how they are very durable but lightweight. These are much bigger than most swaddled blankets which keeps the baby from pulling the swaddle apart. When I first saw the price, I was unsure if they would be worth it but they are!!! After I received the first set, I bought more! Aden+Anais classic muslin blankets are a must have!!!!

Ive used several different kinds of baby blankets and receiving blankets for our first boy and found that nothing could keep him swaddled and comfortable especially during the summer months. I finally purchased the aden + anais swaddles from Target and those were great. We could get a tight swaddle when he was little and once he didnt need to be swaddled anymore, we could still use them as blankets. After 2 years, he still loves them! With baby #2, we decided to go with the classic ones since they are larger and love them just as much (if not more). Although they are more expensive, I have a closet full of baby blankets that were only used a couple of times and added up, costs a lot more than these. After a few months, they are getting softer and softer and is a great all around blanket. I use it to swaddle him, cover the car seat carrier, nursing cover and always keep one in the diaper bag. The patterns are very cute and love the animal print...it gives just enough color and playfulness to them.
