> 24 hourI received these at my baby shower and I really had no idea what they were for. As a first time mom working over 70 hours a week during my pregnancy, I did not have much time to research baby products and methods for caring for babies like swaddling, wearing baby, etc. I just thought these were summer baby blankets. These are so so so wonderful. And these are so much more than baby blankets. These are great for swaddling, cover for nursing, cover for shade from sun and wind (I attached it over the stroller handle and car seat to make a triangle shade for my kid), sweat barrier between baby and stroller seat, towel for baby, burp cloth in a pinch, pillow (roll it up and make as big or as small), and yes, a baby blanket. These are high quality muslin swaddles. The fabric hols up nicely and just gets softer and softer with every wash. I purchased these for a good friend for her baby shower as I am now convinced that every new mom needs a pack of these. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these. A tip for new moms: Open this box up, wash it, and then sleep with it several nights to get your mommy smell on it. Your baby will respond to the smell of his/her mommy.

> 24 hourMy newest little blessing loves these blankets! She wont sleep without one to cuddle. Unless the price has changed, this set was the best price for the number of blankets in the set. I was concerned about the roughness of the blankets when I got them out of the package... BUT they did soften up after washing them.

> 24 hourI received a SwaddleDesigns muslin swaddle from my Amazon baby registry gift box and it instantly became my favorite swaddle and blanket. I decided to purchase more and couldnt be happier. Theyre a bit larger than my other swaddles, which I like. There is also a small tag with swaddling instructions which was a super helpful reminder until we were able to master the technique. Also, the best part of these are that theyre incredibly soft, especially after washing.

> 24 hourI have bought several brands of muslin blankets since 2010 when my daughter was born. I never tried this brand until my son was born this year when I purchased a set of burp cloths in this same design and felt how soft they were. I was hoping the blankets were just as soft and they are, if not softer!! Highly recommend these over Aden & Anais. They are large and have a helpful tag sewn onto the blanket on how to swaddle properly, which I never took the time to learn to do until it was right in front of me : ). The only brand that I have found to be as soft as these is called Baby Starters and I cant seem to find the original blankets I bought for her anywhere anymore.

> 24 hourI bought a pack for myself and loved it so much that I bought 3 as gifts for my sisters and sister-in-law for Mothers Day. They are nice and big, lightweight, and seem very nice quality. Ive had them for about 3 months, and no complaints from any of us.

> 24 hourIm a big fan if Aden and Anais blankets but thought Id try something new with my third newborn - as the reviews were quite positive and the quality sounded nice. When I received them I at first was disappointed as they were soft but didnt seem to be as sturdy as the other ones. At this point Ive used these blankets (a lot!) for 2 or 3 weeks and can say their quality and softness almost surpass A&Anais ones. They are also a tad larger in size, which gives them a lot of versatility - swaddling, stroller cover, etc. Id highly recommend them to any new moms. Worth the price.

> 24 hourI really liked these when they arrived and thought theyd work as our go-to swaddles. However, after trying them out in our newborn, they seem to be lacking -- at least in our use with him. The fabric is so stretchy and soft that it does not hold a good swaddle. Our son is pro at wiggling out of these, even when wrapped super tight. They may be light and breathable but dont have the weight and staying power of a heavier cotton fabric type that seems necessary to wrap him sufficiently in. Well still use these as stroller blankets but have given up on them as swaddle-usage.

> 24 hourWe’ve bought a few different muslin swaddles for our newborn and these are, by far, our favorite— the material washes well— very soft and light. No pilling at all. Size is generous so absolutely perfect for swaddling, especially those babies that like to try and break free from their swaddles like ours. :) Bought a second package and will be recommending these to new parents!

> 24 hourWe have quite the collection of the more famous (and expensive) brand muslin swaddles left over from my second child. When I had my third child, we knew we wanted to swaddle again, but my son still uses the other swaddles as blankies for bedtime. I didnt want to traumatize him by taking all his blankies away to use for the new baby, but I also didnt want to shell out a ton of money for all-new swaddles when we already had a big collection, so I decided to take my chances on the lower-priced but well-reviewed SwaddleDesigns. What do you know? These are just as fine as the other brand of swaddles. They fluff up nice in the washer and dryer, and--most importantly for us since I tend to have kids that plump up quickly in the first 6 months--theyre just as big as the other ones, roughly 46 or 47 square, depending on how they shrink when washed. Smaller swaddles at the same price point as these just dont last us as long for swaddling purposes. Its only been a little over 2 months, but with daily use theyve held up well--no holes, tears, or anything. One thing I somewhat dislike about them is that the printed designs are much lighter and subtle than others on the market. The designs are cute but not overpowering. If you want big, brightly printed swaddles, youll be disappointed. However, I did buy these for function, not design, so I wont deduct a star for that--plus I have nothing against the designs themselves and will probably end up buying another set soon. I think Ill be recommending and buying these as gifts for new moms over other brands for now on.
