Aden + Anais Swaddle Blanket Review

What can I say about Aden and Anais Swaddlers, other than GORGEOUS. I fell in love with the design of these swaddle blankets  when I saw them online, but when I actually received them in the mail, OH MY! My pregnant little heart went pitter patter. These swaddlers took my breath away, starting with the beautiful packaging. Just look at them!   The fabrics are delicious and the patterns are modern and adorable. The swaddlers are sized extra large (47″x47″), much larger than the ones found at chain stores.  As you can see, I was even able to swaddle my 2 year old (who thought this was great fun!).

I personally feel that there is no better secret to pass on to a new mother than the art of swaddling. My husband became a “baby burrito expert” with our first child. He just loves wrapping those little ones up nice and tight. Not only do babies LOVE begin swaddled, but I find that they are less fussy, sleep better and feel more secure. My baby’s are swaddled for at least a couple of months during the day, and much longer for night time. I always find that my babies outgrow the classic swaddler almost immediately. The standard swaddling blanket is really only intended to fit the newest of newborns. I have even been known to sew 2 blankets together to make a larger swaddler, but the dimensions are never quite right.

The Aden + Anais swaddlers are so generously sized that they will last through the entire swaddling time. Afterwards they make an excellent lightweight blanket. I love that the fabric is a light and breathable cotton muslin.   Those little babes get HOT when they are properly swaddled, especially if you are swaddling them in the summer months.
I was also thinking that this makes the ideal baby shower or new baby gift. Perfect for the first time mom or the seasoned pro. Who wouldn’t love these? I plan on bringing mine along with me to the hospital in my labor bag. Why does it always seem like there aren’t enough baby blankets at the hospital, anyway?
One extremely luck reader is going to win their choice of girl, boy or gender neutral 4-pack of swaddles from Aden + Anais.  Open to US residents.
