> 3 dayI didnt realize just how much wed love these when i registered for a set before my first baby. They are beautiful swaddles, lightweight and wash up well. We use them nightly to swaddle our July-born baby (they are not too hot), as well as to prop his head up with breastfeeding, cover in stroller, car seat and swing, and lay him on for diaper changes, tummy time, etc. I love them so much I bought another set so I have 8 which is perfect. The rockstar set is much softer than the high seas - I think because of the print. Our baby is starting to be a little tall for the full body swaddle at 6 weeks (11 lb, 24 in) - we just tuck the tail end of swaddle into the swaddle fold as opposed to over the shoulder. He can break out of these swaddles once he wakes up but Im ok with that as hes in the bassinet right next to me so I can hear him waking as he grunts to bust out :). These keep his legs nice and compact as opposed to the sleepsack which restrains arms better but with his little legs flailing he was always waking up. Some babies also self soothe with hands so its nice he can get them out if he really needs to. Perfect registry/new baby gift.

> 3 dayI LOVE these swaddles so much! They are by far my favorite. My son is definitely a blanket kid and these are my favorite to give to him (he loves any muslin blanket). The colors are super vibrant, the material is thick and the blankets are a good size. We used them when he was smaller to swaddle him and they worked great for that as well. Now that hes older, he just loves on them when hes going to sleep <3 Im obsessed with the patterns (I call him my Man Cub)! I would definitely buy again...Im really tempted to get all of the Disney ones, but my husband would kill me.

> 3 dayFirst of all, I will say these are great blankets...big, breathable, cute, etc. but if youve read any of the other reviews, you already know all of that. Heres what I wished I had read before I purchased: 1. If you are like me, you have no idea what the heck muslin is. Well, as they say, its a soft breathable cotton. The best way to describe it is like a cotton gauze, much like the material used in burp cloth diapers. The exception is, this is much higher quality, making it stronger than gauze, and its only 1 ply, so its more breathable than a cloth diaper. 2. This listing is confusing, because it mixes up the wraps and the blankets. If you want the larger 47x47 wraps, then go for the ones that have $49.99 listed as the list price. If you want the smaller 42x42, then go for the ones with the list price of $34.99. 3. What is so great about these blankets? I was trying to figure out why everyone was so in love with these things, and heres what Ive deduced...these are MUCH larger than other swaddling blankets, and also much thinner. So, you can wrap your baby up in a nice tight swaddle,with the blanket wrapped completely around them and under their back and they are not too bulky. If you were to have a typical swaddling blanket of the same size, by the time you wrapped up the baby, they probably wouldnt fit in the bassinet, and their head would be 4 inches off the ground. 4. You still have to have swaddling skills. This is not like a swaddleme or sleep sack swaddler. No velcro, no magic. Personally, I am a terrible swaddler and my baby was out of this blanket in 6 minutes flat the first time I used it. But Im getting better. I have no choice, since my rather large 3 month old has outgrown all of the magical swaddling options. All in all though, a nice functional set of blankets. And I have no doubt these will still be getting tons of use while the swaddlemes have long been donated away.

Greater than one weekI ordered these after buying what I thought were the originals that everyone on here raves about. I had found them in a local store and thought I was getting a deal. When I realized they were different, I ordered these to see if I could differentiate between the two and thought that I may as well have more baby blankets than not if they turned out to be as amazing as everyone says. When they arrived and I compared them to what I already have, I couldnt tell the difference at all. The feel of the fabric was 100% identical to what I bought (for less money). Amazon also sells the ones I bought and at the same price--I would have gotten them on here if I hadnt thought I was getting a deal elsewhere; theyre the ones that are around $35 and two inches or so smaller on each side than these. I wound up returning these since they werent amazing enough for me to spend so much money on and have so many blankets in the house. They are definitely huge--but the smaller size are large as well and I think theyll be just fine for me and for our new baby girl. In fact, I was surprised that these blankets werent softer from the way everyone raves about this brand and the way the reviews all refer specifically to making sure new parents order the originals instead of the others which are still brand name. If I had to do it again, Id stick with my decision to keep the less expensive, slightly smaller version rather than spending a lot more for a couple more inches on each side.

> 3 dayHave purchased these blankets for several family and friends babies. They are of the highest quality. Lightweight, soft, warm, variety of colors and prints. Great for swaddling. I worked at a baby store registry and would educate the new moms-to-be about the quality of these blankets and other items made by Aden and Anais.

Greater than one weekI LOVE these blankets. I was skeptical, thinking Do I really need expensive swaddle blankets? The answer? I bought 4 more as they are in constant use. They are light, breathable and soft. The lightness will be perfect for summer, but I doubled the blankets to use in the winter. The blanket rolls up so small, one is constantly in my diaper bag. Ive started using this instead of my nursing cover, and I think it even works better. My colicky baby only sleeps with her eyes covered, and with the breathable nature of these blankets, Im much more comfortable to swaddle her with a little hood to cover her eyes (dont worry, shes well monitored!). The generous size is key, too. It makes it so easy to swaddle. When my baby was a newborn, I folded them in half to form a triangle and swaddled that way, but now shes bigger, I fold down the top corner. Theres plenty of room. Im sure I can still swaddle her up to a year, if she needs it (like her brother did!) Also, check out Double Swaddle on youtube, as recommended by another reviewer. Its a great way to secure the wiggly older babies who still enjoy swaddling for sleep. I say, go for it!

> 3 dayI bought these for my sister in law for gift. The pattern is very cute, true to picture. We probably have 10 Aiden and Anais blankets and love them. When my kids were infants we used them as swaddles, covers on car seats, blankets in car, shade in stroller, nursing covers and even now still have them in the car. They are a great size, high quality and wash really well. Would recommend for any family. We also have the dream blankets, which are great!
