Must-Have Monday: Aden & Anais Muslin Blankets

Aden & Anais Muslin Blankets

Perhaps you have heard about these lightweight muslin blankets? I’m sure many of you have. For some new moms and moms-to-be, they are on the very TOP of my must-have list for you!

These muslin blankets are large, lightweight, and 100% cotton muslin. They are extremely versatile and come with me wherever I go. They are SO much more than a blanket. Here is a list of just some of the many uses I use them for:

• swaddling newborns

• breastfeeding cover

• light blanket in the summer

• sun cover/shade during stroller walks or at the park

• soft & pretty backdrop for photos

• burp cloth

• breastpad (stuffed down my shirt while at home!)

• playmat, while on the go

In looking through my photos (some of these are just quick phone pics), I realize how dependent I am on these. I go EVERYWHERE with them! They are well worth the $35-45 price tag, for 3-4. They offer organic ones, like the blue star print above, or bamboo blends. Thicker “dream blankets”, burp cloths, crib sheets, and sleep sacks. We’ve been loving the sleep sacks for a light, summertime, safe blanket alternative.

One recommendation . . . stick with the Aden & Anais brand. I’ve tried others, and they don’t seem as soft. My own opinion (I have no affiliation with the company).  So put them on your registry ASAP!

Happy Monday!
