aden + anais dream blankets

When you have a baby, you undoubtedly get a few baby blankets as gifts from people. I have a great stash of Neaveh’s baby blankets in a space-saver bag right now and was debating bringing them out, but realized I’m sure I will have a few blankets for this baby in no time. While home-made blankets are my favorite, there are a few companies out there that produce blankets that are must-haves and the Dream Blanket from aden + anais, in my opinion, is one of them.

aden + anais muslin swaddle blankets are a hit among moms because of the remarkable feel and breath-ability of muslin.

What exactly is muslin? According to aden + anais, muslin is one of the world’s oldest fabrics and was used by the Egyptians to swaddle their babies and graced the robes of ancient Greeks and Romans.

Today, it is used in aden + anais products because of it’s absolute comfort, softness, and breath-ability. Keeping you warm when you need to be and cooling you off when necessary, muslin indeed seems like the ideal blanket for babies.

The Dream Blankets from aden + anais contain not one layer (like the swaddle blankets) but four layers of muslin!

This gives the blanket a really unique feel that is hard to describe. As my husband said when he picked up the Star Light Dream Blanket to the left that we received to review, “This feels…weird,” and he’s right!

The blanket is super soft – like your favorite t-shirt that has been washed a million times, but it also has a decent weight to it making it ideal for the stroller, car seat, or floor play. For older children this would make a great blanket for cozy slumber time as well. Measuring 47″ x 47″ this is a “baby blanket” that can stay with your child well into toddlerhood.

Our aden + anais dream blanket is washed and ready for baby’s arrival – it will be perfect for snuggle time in the rocking chair as it won’t overheat baby and mom or dad because of it’s breath-ability.

The Dream Blanket, in a selection of patterns, can be purchased directly from aden + anais online for $49.95, or you can use their Store Locator tool to find a store near you.
