Aden & Anais Review

I purchased the muslin swaddle blanket when Myles was first born & love it! It worked wonderfully as a swaddle, since it is 47x47 inches. It is 100% cotton muslin and has a nice lightness to it that made it great so the baby doesn't get overheated. We used the swaddle method from Happiest Baby on the Block (by Dr. Harvey Karp) and once Myles was all swaddled up would rock & shush him till he was calm and lay him in bed to sleep. After a time, Myles turned into a little Houdini with being swaddled and it no longer worked for that purpose but still was a lovely blanket, so nice to lay out on the floor for him to lay and play on. Great for times we were outside and he needed a light wrap or to use to shield him in his stroller from bright sun. After many washes, the blanket still looks wonderful! I also had purchased one of their bamboo blankets, and love how soft it is but didn't find it to be as good for swaddling for some reason and it got a few snags on it in the wash. But still a beautiful blanket overall. They can be purchased at boutique stores, I got mine from The Breastfeeding Center here locally. They can also be purchased online at http://www.adenandanais.com/default.aspx.

 

This is the muslin one we have!

 We have the center "Feather" bamboo one and I gave the others as gifts as the bamboo are only sold in packs. They make wonderful shower gifts :)
