Labor Day Weekend with aden + anais

September 4, 2009 | By | |

What’s Labor Day without a little nudge to all the new moms out there?  What!  That’s not what Labor Day is about.  Well, to most of the moms I know it is!  Seriously, say the word “labor” and what’s the first thing that pops into mind?  That’s right!  But I digress….

Swaddler BlankestI recently found out about a great company called aden+anais (isn’t that a great name?). It was started by two mothers who both moved to the US from Australia in 1996 and they were stunned by the lack of great quality baby wraps here.  In Australia, babies are always wrapped in muslin, and the wraps are a lot larger than those available here.

These comfortable wraps are perfect for almost any baby use from swaddling and sleeping to a great stroller cover because of how large they are.   The more you wash these swaddling blankets, the softer they get and they are ultra breathable which makes them perfect for any season/climate!

In addition to their muslin wraps, aden + anais also carries towels and muslin cotton washcloths!  Be sure to check out their entire line.

    Ohhh, I just bought these for my LO that is on the way. My cousin who had her baby in Ireland had these and I couldn’t resist. Can’t wait to use them.

    I actually own a few of these and they are absolutely the BEST way to swaddle babies and we are still using ours for other things now that he’s over a year old. I’d love these b/c I give them for every baby gift and everyone loves them!

    My baby loved being swaddled, and muslin seems like the perfect swaddling material. These would make such a great baby gift.

    I want to try these on my next child. My first always broke out of my wraps, and I think it was because the blankets were too small.

    I just stumbled it! It is so true. There really aren’t any quality swaddling blankets here in the USA. I went through so many brands hoping they would be large enough, and just ended up layering two together because they never were!

    I love the designs- the stars are my favorite . I also love that they are thin enough that the baby would not get overheated in our humid climate.

    Love that the fabric allows the baby to regulate their body temps naturally!

    I love these wraps because of the breathable factor so babies wont overheat and knowing the more you wash them the softer they get is just awesome.

    I like that it gets softer each wash and that it is breathable

    I absolutely love muslin and it makes a comfy material to swaddle a little one in.

    I really like the use of colors and designs they produce. They don’t scream baby girl or baby boy. Great product
