This actually lives up to the hype!!!
As an O.C.D. pregnant woman. I researched and researched and finally purchased four of these. Once i opened them i knew right away they were going to be amazing! The quality is far far better than the four packs you can buy for $14-20 at local stores. It is so easy to swaddle and actually holds. They look amazing. I love that the have sewn the “Swaddle process” on the blanket itself for my husband (when i have to run to the store). My absolute favorite thing about this (besides the amazing colors) are how big they are. They will last far longer than the swaddle sacs you can buy. Swaddle sacs are great but they can only be used until they are too big. These will last much longer. I am about to order 2 more. I decided instead of buying $160-300 crib bedding set for them that comes with nothing you can ACTUALLY use besides a crib sheet. That these would work better
great swaddling blanket!
Love these blankets! They are a great size and perfect for babies of all sizes. Comes with helpful instructions for how to swaddle.
Get a bunch of these!
LOVE this brand, really the whole line is great- the style is so refreshing no goofy cartoony stuff! Quality, softness, size, style are all A+ in my book. These receiving blankets are also swaddles, and can triple as a lightweight stroller blanket, many uses for them- I have 4 different colors!
THE best flannel
Ever buy flannel that’s so cheap it looks like an open-weave? I did — I bought crib sheets last winter that were a joke. I should have just gone right to Swaddle Designs because we have several of their blankets. This is high-quality, thick, durable material, and if it’s pricier, it’s because it’s worth it.
Great Winter Swaddling Blanket
We were looking for a heavier weight blanket to use for our newborn daughter last winter and this was it. We live in the chicago area where we have very cold winters and we needed something thicker then some of the other cotton receiving blankets that we already owned. We own several of the Aden and Anais blankets which are made of a very thin cotton which is good for the summer but we thought not warm enough for the winter. We used this blanket almost every night to swaddle our daughter last winter and I really like that it is 100% cotton. 100% cotton is best for babies. Other materials don’t breath and can be itchy to them. The only thing I wish is that it was made with organic cotton. Other then that I think it is a nice thick and warm blanket for a young baby. Now that our daughter is 10 months old and it is getting cooler out again we have been using this blanket again at night! It’s held up well and I am happy with it.
Great blanket, beware of the orange color
I received one of these flannel receiving blankets for my shower, and I loved it so much that I wanted to get another one to alternate with through the winter. This blanket is large enough to get a really secure swaddle on a growing infant, and the thicker fabric was perfect to cover our little guy in the winter (with a footed sleeper underneath) — but take that with a grain of salt because we live in Texas.We got the blue circles on blue cloth originally, so I wanted a different color to change it up. I wanted something gender neutral (in consideration of baby #2), so I went with the orange. The orange color is definitely more on the peachy side than the primary or rust orange end of the spectrum. My husband didn’t mind it, but to me, with the scalloped edges in this peachy color, it was a little more feminine than what I wanted. I ended up giving it as a baby gift to a friend with a baby girl on the way.I wish they had a few more color options, especially with colored backgrounds like the blue one.
Very thick and too big – not for newborns
This blanket came highly recommended, but so far I’ve been unable to use. It’s really too big to use for swaddling 0-3 months and it’s a lot thicker than our other swaddling blankets so it doesn’t stay as tight. When I’ve tried swaddling my child, the fabric just gets to be too much (due to the large size) and I end up taking her out of the swaddle and going back to other blankets. I think this might be ok for older babies, but then again, you might not be swaddling that long (since it is not recommended once babies can roll over).
perfect baby blanket
I bought this for my daughter before her birth, and it remained my favorite blanket. It’s soft, warm, the color is nice and soft too, calming. It’s easy to wash and no pilling.
Love This Blanket
I love this swaddling blanket. I use it every day. It is big enough to wrap tightly around my baby and will be big enough to use even when she’s not a newborn. It is also thin and not too bulky, but is warm. They are a little bit expensive, but worth the money.
So soft, so warm…and HUGE
My son has been using this blanket since he was 2 weeks old. He is now 10 months old and it is still big enough to wrap him in (he is over 30inches tall and 25lbs). I use it as a modesty cover when nursing in the car. So many uses. It is incredibly warm, and I’ve even used it one winter night, when I had to keep watch over him in his room.Pro tip: if you are in a pinch for a towel, these make great ones! They are 100% cotton and absorb water like crazy.
