Aden + Anais 4 Packs

We keep getting fantastic reviews from everyone who has purchased aden + anais muslin swaddling wraps.  In fact, their fame is going international!  Ok, I guess they’ve already been international since they were created by two Australian mothers.  But, they are going international from Blanket My Baby.  A recent buyer on our site loved them so much that she couldn’t stop raving about them to her mother, who lives in Canada.  Thus, mama is going to buy a 4 pack for older sister who is expecting.  I believe she is unsure of gender and so she is going with neutral colors, either sage or black and white.  Both are safe choices and both will do a super job at swaddling.  With winter coming up, the wood burning stove will be a blazing in Canada country.  The lightweight, open weave muslin fabric is perfect to keep a baby warm and cozy without overheating.  Check out our whole selection of in stock aden and anais blankets on sale now!  They are only $38.95, and we are offering $5 flat rate shipping.  So, save when you buy 2!

ErgoPouch iParenting Award Winner

The ErgoPouch is the 2009 iParenting Media award winner for its safe design and quality fabric.  The ErgoPouch is made of organic cotton to help control temperature and allergies.  The ErgoPouch is a unique mixture between a baby blanket and sleeping bag.  It is soft and light weight like a blanket, but it has the comfort of a sleep sack design.  Also, a unique feature of the ErgoPouch is that it was developed with strech inserts to allow the baby to move freely without getting tangled.  The fabric is highly breathable and safe for your baby.

The nice thing about a sleep sack blanket is that you simply zip up your baby inside.  It’s designed to make diaper changes simpler, which is nice for every parent.

The pouch is made of alpaca fiber which is like wool, but softer.  You don’t get the prickly sensation that often comes with wool.  Also, it is lanolin free, which allows the blanket to be hypoallergenic.  Every individual alpaca strand is hollow, which allows it keep your baby warm and cozy, but also be breathable.  ErgoPouch also comes in organic cotton and bamboo.

Ajax in his Ultimate Receiving Blanket

Here is our new favorite buddy, Henry Ajax Knoechel.  He is the first baby of our best friends Josh and Stacy, and what do you know?  He’s all swaddled up in his Brown Mod Circles on White Ultimate Receiving Blanket, which came from Blanket My Baby.

Swaddled Baby

I was visiting Ajax for a bit today, and noticed he was resting well in this blanket.  One of the greatest things about these blankets are the size.  At 42″ x 42″, they are large enough to make a secure swaddle around the baby.  Ajax seems to like it, and he’s drifting away to sleep land.  If you don’t know why he’s named Ajax, no, it’s not for the cleaning product.  He was named after the amazing Greek hero.  You can see him here.

aden + anais Swaddling Blankets

We just added some great new swaddling blankets to the site from aden and anais.  You can have your choice from single wraps, 2 pack winter warmth blankets or 4 packs.  The 4 packs provide tremendous value because you are getting 4 large swaddling blankets for a great low price of $43.95.  Most parents know that this is a good deal for a quality swaddling wrap.

These blankets are large, 47 x 47, and the are made of muslin cotton.  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.

The blankets are also function.  They are machine washable, which makes moms very happy.  Why a 4 pack?  If you’ve been around babies at all, you know that blankets can get dirty very quickly.  So, while some are in the wash, you have some spares to keep your baby snug and cozy.

Benefits of Sleep Sacks and Baby Sleeping Bags

Wearable baby blankets, including sleep sacks and baby sleeping bags are convenient for parents and comfortable for babies.  Typically the blankets keep the feet tucked in and zip, button, snap or velcro up the front.  They solve the age-old problem of babies kicking off the blanket and waking up cold or tangled.  They also help reduce the risk of SIDS by keeping blankets away from the face. Sleep sacks offer a great transition phase from swaddling to big-kid blanket.

Sleep sacks can be loose or tight at the bottom.  Some allow wiggle room for the feet and others function more like a swaddling blanket.  As for the arms - sleep sacks can be sleeveless, short-sleeved, long-sleeved or may tuck arms in with a swaddling feature.

When deciding on a sleep sack, it’s important to consider the temperature of the baby’s room and the season of the year.  Sleep sacks are available in many fabrics and may range from thick winter fleece to thin summer-appropriate cotton mesh.

Blanketmybaby.com carries several varieties of baby sleeping bags and sleep sacks in colors including blue, pink, green, yellow, white and more.  BMB offers several unique SwaddleDesigns fuzzy sleep sacks with satin trim and various Aden and Anais cotton muslin baby sleeping bags.  BMB also sells the handmade Sleep Pea Pods, which could be used as a swaddle blanket or sleep sack.
