aden + anais Boutique Muslin Swaddle Blanket for Baby Girls and Boys, Newborn Receiving Blanket for Swaddling, 100% Muslin Cotton Swaddle Wrap, 3 Pack, Winnie in The Woods, Disney Baby

First of all, I will say these are great blankets...big, breathable, cute, etc. but if you've read any of the other reviews, you already know all of that. Here's 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, it's 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 it's only 1 ply, so it's 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 here's what I've 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 wouldn't 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 I'm 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.

I didn't realize just how much we'd 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 I'm ok with that as he's 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 it's nice he can get them out if he really needs to. Perfect registry/new baby gift.

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 baby's 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 sun's 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 bought my first Aden and Anais blanket with my second son while we were in the hospital with an extended NICU stay. The blanket quickly became my favorite and I wish I had it with my first baby. They are durable, large, wash well, and get better (and softer) with time. I ran across this pattern and couldn't get it out of my brain, so I decided to add this set to the one I always used. I use these blankets ALL the time - they go with me everywhere. I have used them for swaddling, a nursing over, a car seat cover (in a light drizzle or a windy walk), a blanket, a sun shade, a burp cloth, to sop up messes, and to clean off my older kids face/skin after muddy or sandy play. Throw them in the wash and they are good to go. I would highly recommend these to any new momma or a mother that has kiddos and is on the fence about purchasing. They are a bit of money, but truly are a work horse and worth the investment.

I was very excited to find this swaddle brand, they have a ton of different design/swag you can pick and choose from.And without a compromise, the material is very soft and big enough to be a blanket when needed.I use them for swaddle and also for blanket.

We love these swaddle in our home! Our girls have used them well passed babyhood and love the patterns they come in. They're great size for swaddling or to cover up toddlers. Great quality, still looking like new even though we have washed them a lot

Arrived as expected, the quality is very good, soft and nice colors. The price is going up every year.

These are amazingly soft after washing. Also they are the boutique line which I think are better quality than the essential line. Can't beat the price.

Very cute

very nice, like it.
