Swaddling seems like it is essential with a newborn. It gives them that secure warm feeling of being in the womb. Both of my boys loved to be swaddled, Chandler especially. We actually swaddled him until he was 6+ months because he just slept well. Aden and Anais wants babies to have just that, the swaddled comfort they need. So when they contacted me, I was excited to be able to review one of their Australian muslin baby wraps.
The Review: One of my favorite things about this blanket was its size. Normal receiving blankets are 30x30 inches. These are great for the first month or two, but babies seem to outgrow them quickly. Their blankets are a generous 47 x 47 inches. I swaddled Rowan with it, and even though he is 15 months, it was more than big enough for him. (I'm sure he appreciated his nutty mom swaddling him ;) ) Another thing that instantly draws me to this blanket is how muslin works. As taken from Aden and Anais' site, here is is a little bit about muslin:
Chan had a lot of skin problems when he was a baby, as you can see from the photo on the right.
Cradle cap, exzema, and he always seemed to have heat rash. He loved to be swaddled but would get so hot that he would rub the blanket on his cheeks until they were red and rashy. He overheated so easily but wouldn't sleep well unless he was swaddled. We tried every type of blanket it seemed, and he always overheated. I would have loved to have known about Aden and Anais, I'm sure it would have helped tremendously with his heat rash.

I would have loved to have known about Aden and Anais, I'm sure it would have helped tremendously with his heat rash.These blankets have a lot of nice stretch to them. I am a big fan of the thermal/waffle receiving blankets for newborns, simply because of their stretch. It's hard to find these bigger than a receiving size though. I love that Aden and Anais blankets have the size and stretch which makes for a secure swaddle. They wash up really nicely and are great quality all around, plus they stay extremely soft which is a must have for newborn skin.
Their site has some really great tips as well. For example, it shows you two different methods to swaddle, and also gives some great ideas on other ways to use the blanket.
Aden and Anais has this great swaddling blanket available in 2 and 4 packs which are extremely convenient as newborns need many swaddling blankets. They have some really cute styles available.
They also carry a muslin dream blanket and are made with 6 layers of waffled cotton. I'm sure they are wonderful too!

There are so many to choose from, i would he so happy with any of them really...but, if I had to pick one it would be the Lime/Brown Muslin Swaddling Blankets
I love these blankets. I used them with Chase. They were wonderful for swaddling my little houdini. He still likes to carry them around. I have the black and white set. I like the zoo animals or the camo ones. I would certainly recommend these.
i love the blankets, especially the pink and white. i love swaddling because it helps the baby feel snug and secure, just like they did in the womb. belle also was swaddled for 6 months! i hope i win, i've been eyeing these for a really long time...plus i have a niece named anais!
-The style I like the best for a boy would just be the Blue Muslin Swaddling Blankets and for a girl I like the Pink/White Muslin Swaddling Blankets.
-One reason swaddling is important is to make your baby feel secure.
-I already have your cute blinkie on my blog!
My favorite style they had were the pink spots wraps. I am so glad you reviewed these. It has been really hard for me to find wraps big enough and Ava sleeps so much better when wrapped! She's grown out of all her blankets! Awesome job Tiff!
My favorite style was the pink/brown and aqua/brown muslin. This is why I loves swaddling~ Swaddling helps your baby stay asleep by reducing sudden arm and leg movements (startle reflexes) I already have your button and I will totally tweet about this wonderful giveaway!

Swaddling helps your baby stay asleep by reducing sudden arm and leg movements (startle reflexes)...I like that one. I always knew it helped them stay tight and feel secure, but this one made perfect sense to me.
I like the Neutral shapes swaddling blankets
swaddling helps your baby not move around the crib and getting into uncomfortable or dangerous positions. I love how you shared about it helping babies not get overheated because my baby had eczema for a while and still has cradle cap. He's constantly itching his head, so swaddling would help him I think.
I have your button. I almost didn't try for this giveaway, but then I read more info and discovered new things about swaddling that might help my baby
My fav is Pink/Brown
This is why my baby likes swaddling.
Swaddling helps to make your baby feel secure and comfortable, as it is designed to imitate the security of the enclosed surroundings they experienced in the womb

Swaddling reduces the startle reflex, i.e., keeps your kid from whacking him/herself in the face and waking him/herself up! worked like a charm for us.
