From the Manufacturer
Aden and Anais Muslin Wraps is made up of 100% cotton. Muslin swaddling wraps are the ultimate in breathability and softness. The fabric’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally in order to prevent overheating. Muslin has the unique characteristic of allowing a swaddled baby to stay cool in the summer, while still offering warmth in the winter, and the more you wash it, the softer it gets. Each swaddling wrap measures 47/47" in size and allows new and seasoned moms alike to swaddle any size baby with ease. It is more traditionally used as a swaddling wrap. Aden and Anais wraps are also useful as burp cloths, nursing shields, stroller covers to protect from sun, cold, wind or insects, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more.

Expensive, BUT Practical
Ever since my wife and I went to our Baby Birthing classes we have heard about how swaddling calms the baby, so are next goal was to find a "Swaddling" blanket. For our baby shower we received several "take baby home blankets", but when we practiced with these at our classes they were too small (30x30), and the one's the hospitals use we couldn't find, so I searched for the local shops (Baby USA, ToysRUs etc), but they had very specific swaddling wraps or the blankets were too small. I then searched on the internet and found several types and brands, and liked the idea of the Muslin Cotten with Aden + Anais, they were (40 x 40), and light especially living in Hawaii that's important.

Although they were 40.99 for pack of 4 they are very practical as they are flexible, soft and very light. This is important when wrapping so baby can feel snug and safe, but not to restricted that they can't move a little. They are light which in Hawaii it keeps baby warm but not to hot even w/o AC. And because they are larger we can use these as baby grows as a wrap and as a light blanket. I am very pleased with these, and have recommended these to a co-worker, or we may buy as a baby shower gift.

One note, it takes some getting used to wrapping baby because they are 40x40, but with some practice you can do it.

Good Luck

Is five stars enough?!
I ordered these when I was pregnant to swaddle our baby with, and when I recieved them I felt slightly disappointed. They seemed thin, and not very durable. Plus at $42 for the four of them they were not cheap! They were nice and large, and the print was cute, but I was not sure how they would hold up. Then our son was born, and now I have no idea what we would do without these! Once you wash them they get super soft, they wrap perfectly, and because they are light weight mold to the babies shape, can be packed easily, and if its cool out can be layered with another blanket for warmth. They are also very breathable and absorbent! They are hands down the best blankets out there! We use these literally all day, everyday, and not just for swaddling! We cover his car seat with them when we go out, we put them on the floor as a play mat/changing pad, use it as a burp cloth, and I even bought a nursing clip so I can use these as a nursing cover in public. Nursing covers are $30-$40 alone, and that is one less thing to put in the already crammed diaper bag. They also hold up awesome in the wash. Our son has spit up on these, peed on them, pooed, they have been dropped, used to clean up milk and formula, and just gotten generally icky, and have come out of the wash pristine and soft as down every time. I love these. LOVE. It also doesn't hurt that they are super cute too. We get compliments everywhere we go on how cute they are. I would maybe say my only complaint is the price tag, but considering the use we get out of them I would say its well worth it. Plus Aden and Anais put out a line for target and they are $29 for a four pack of these wraps! We have purchased two more packages, and they are just as nice! Seriously, if I had to pick five baby items I could not live without, these would be on that list.

Love these blankets
These are really soft oversized blankets that are totally worth the price. My baby boy loves them. He snuggles with them in the carseat and his stroller. The designs are super cute and when you wash them they remain soft. They are so light that they are perfect for the summer.
