Let's Talk 100% Cotton Muslin And Why I Like It! aden + anais Swaddling Wraps Review & Giveaway!

If you are like me (and maybe you're not!) you may have never used cotton muslin material for your babies ever. Luckily the lovely Australian mama's that started aden + anais had. In fact in Australia muslin wraps were a common staple for every mother to have for her babies. However, once these mama's came to the United States they couldn't find a suitable muslin wrap anywhere and thus aden + anais was born (no pun intended).

If you are as unfamiliar with muslin as I was here is a little info on the awesome benefits of using muslin. Muslin is a unique cotton fabric first introduced into England in the late 17th century. Muslin has a light, open weave that allows air to flow seamlessly through the material. The soft natural fibers allow your baby's body temperature to adjust naturally, eliminating over-heating, but ensuring warmth and comfort. aden + anais wraps will allow you to safely swaddle your baby, giving you confidence that your baby will experience a peaceful and secure sleep.

We were able to review the aden + anais Neutral Spots Winter Warmth 2 pack of swaddling wraps. Now let me tell you these are not your average receiving blanket size. They are huge! They measure 47'' x 47'' which means no more struggling to wrap your baby in a blanket that is too small. I wanted to review the Winter Warmth swaddling wraps because my baby is due in December and living in Minnesota it is very cold here in the winter. The double layer cotton muslin is perfect for our chilly weather while still preventing my baby from overheating. I love the breathability of the cotton muslin material. I also love how large they are. I will easily be able to cover my baby when going outdoors and not struggle to have enough blanket to form a shield over him.


aden + anais also sells the regular muslin swaddling wraps that are not double layer for climates that are not as cold as mine is. They are also the large 47'' x 47'' size and are still very warm for baby while providing breathability. They would be perfect for all seasons really. They have a huge selection of absolutely adorable patterns to choose from.

You can buy the wraps in single, double or four packs. I saw a lady at the state fair using the aden + anais wrap to cover her baby up in the stroller. It was a warm day, but the muslin wrap provided enough coverage to protect her baby from the sun while still allowing heat to escape and not overheat the baby.

These wraps would also double to cover you while nursing. With their large size you could easily cover your body from the neck down! I also love that since they are a bigger size your child won't outgrow them right away. They really could use them well into their toddler years.

aden + anais also sells other wonderful muslin products including the Sleeping Bag that I reviewed last month, towels, washcloths, blankets and more. You can buy all of their products on their site as well as stores which you can locate here.

Win! One lucky reader will win their own aiden + anais cotton muslin swaddle wraps!
