Aden + Anais

Silky-Soft Swaddles 3-Pack

Aden + anais has translated their oversized swaddling blanket in a silky bamboo rayon with a luxurious texture. The feel is even softer than the company’s original cotton muslin blankets (and gets softer with washing), with a smoother tooth. The generous size makes it easier to wrap a secure swaddle, and the thin, light fabric ensures it won’t get too bulky.

Even if you’re not a fan of swaddling, these blankets have many versatile uses. Their light weight means they’re are easy to pack in your bag. The loose weave makes them wonderful as stroller or nursing covers, where they provide ample shade and privacy without feeling stifling. Or they can be used as a changing table cover, burp cloth, or tummy time blanket. To top it all off, aden + anais makes the blankets in fanciful patterns and modern colors.

Parents find the rayon blankets are softer than the cotton ones, but a little less breathable. The texture makes them slightly harder to work with as a swaddle, but better for just plain cuddling. They are less durable and more prone to snags and pilling.

Because these blankets are designed for classic swaddling (without specialized zippers or Velcro), be sure to check out the video (below) on proper swaddling techniques.
