My sister in law can't stop talking about how great aden and anais blankets are. She just had her fourth baby, Hallie, and my wife and I bought her these blankets as a gift, not knowing if they'd be worth it. She was skeptical at first, but now is head over heels for them. Her newborn has slept about 7 hours a night since she started swaddling with the aden and anais blankets. We bought them at this cute baby blanket store, and we're glad we did.
Apparently, the secret is in the fabric. It's a lightweight, muslin cotton which works well in all weather. The blankets keep the child warm and cozy, but they are also breathable so as not to overheat them. Pretty ingenius design and the prints are cute too. We got her the Mod style, and I think they sold out of that one.
The blankets are a generous size too, 47 x 47, so they work great for swaddling. I've shopped a lot of places, but haven't found a better deal than at Blanket My Baby. The 4 packs are going for $38.95 and they have $5 flat rate shipping. Click one of the links above to check them out.
