aden + anais Classic Muslin Collection
I received a set of aden + anais muslin blankets as a gift when I was having my second baby last July. At first I thought they were really nice.. loved the bigger size and the thin breathable quality of the fabric. What I didn’t know, was that these were going to become m absolute favorite baby item I own. Now 8 months later, I still use them every. single. day.
The large size – much larger than conventional baby blankets – make these perfect for swaddling. I don’t know about you but trying to swaddle a baby older than a month in a baby blanket is a test of my patience. With the aden + anais muslin you don’t have that problem because they’re big for one, but they were created with swaddling in mind. Muslin is a great fabric for swaddling … it keeps baby secure and warm without overheating since air can circulate better than dense fabric.
But aside from the swaddling benefits, these turned into a multipurpose necessity in my diaper bag. I’ve used them as a burp cloth, play mat, a nursing cover, a changing pad, and I’ve used them to shade my little guy from the sun while in his carrier or the stroller. Muslin is thin so it is great for warmer temps.. it keeps baby in the shade while they allow air to flow through, keeping baby nice and cool. Folded up however, this can turn into a warmer blanket to keep him snuggled up in his car seat. So many uses! I keep one in the car, in my diaper bag and I have the other two around the house for something to grab when I need it. Trust me, they are worth every single penny.
I cannot sing the praises of aden + anais more than I do. But don’t believe me? Ask SafeMama Statia, she adores them too.
Statia weighs in:
When I first saw these, well after my first baby was born, I knew if I ever had another baby, that I’d want a set of these. And when I got them, I was so impressed with how soft they are, and how BIG they are. I brought them with me to the hospital, because while those nurses are pros at making a baby burrito out of those tiny swaddling blankets, I am not as adept, and I always worried that they’d overheat. I got TONS of compliments on them both in the hospital and well after my daughter was born. We also still use them every day. My daughter loves to cuddle up with one at night and I love that it keeps her warm enough at night, without overheating her. They came in very handy shading her during the hot summer days, and no doubt they will be perfect for the air conditioned car this summer too. Once she outgrows them, I’ll definitely be sure to keep them in the car to use as an extra set of blankets for the kids, as they take up little room. These are a must have for every new mom.
WIN IT!
I am SO excited to be able to offer 4 pack set of aden + anais from their Classic Muslin Collection. One lucky lucky winner will get to choose the pattern they want and take it home. Thank you aden + anais for the fantastic giveaway!

I have always wanted the 4 pack of blankets because they are so versatile, But being on my second son, I couldn’t justify spending more money on more blankets even though they are so fabulous (unpaid maternity stinks!). I have blanket envy in the worst way. Good for you for highlighting this product.

Their star bright dream blanket looks lovely!
I love the dreamer sleeping bag.
I’d definitely try some of the classic muslin swaddlers. I had oversized flannel receiving blankets for my first baby, but #2 is due in June and Texas summers mean flannel is a little much. Love the “prince charming” and “wishing stars” sets.
I would love to try those uniquely shaped burpy cloths! Those hooded towels/wash cloths are so cute, too!
The Jungle Jam elephant sleeping bag is very cute and looks incredible snuggly.
I am in love with the jungle jam monkey dream blanket – going to have to buy it!

I would have really liked the Swaddle Love book or my daughter.
I became fan of aden + anais on facebook.
My baby is 4 months old now and getting big fast. The regular small swaddler-blankets won’t do. He also likes to cover his face w/ a blanky while falling asleep (which I take off all of the time for fear of not enough airflow, etc. = scary). I definitely would like to try the classic collection swaddles and the small issies so that he can fall asleep with those.
Can never have enough towels or washcloths especially quality soft ones. I would love to try hide and sea hooded towel and washcloth. What a cute design. B loves taking baths and especially loves wrapping her towel around her so much, she doesn’t want to put pj’s on.

My granson is big for his age but still likes to be swaddled. It’s hard to find anything big enough to do the job. This sounds perfect and the pattern is so cute. Would love to try it out.

I would love to try the bamboo muslin swaddles – mela.
My son loved to be swaddled until he was 4 months old so I expect this little one who going to join us soon to be the same. I love the ones with the frogs. How cute is a baby going to look wrapped in happy frogs.
