I've never noticed a problem with shrinking, and I've been using them six months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-826569 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:34:31 +0000 tororojo 826569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that they get tighter, but I bet they'll stretch back out with use. I would throw them in the dryer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-826566 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:33:57 +0000 mrsjyw 826566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always machine dry ours... they might have gotten a lil tighter, but they always loosen up again with use! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-826497 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:15:53 +0000 ladyfingers 826497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice they shrunk much, but rather they got tighter if that makes sense? Sort of like what @tysonja said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825750 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:58:52 +0000 tysonja 825750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the smaller ones too and yrs they do shrink a little bit the first time you wash it because they are 100% cotton muslin. They get that soft nubbly texture instead of the smooth rougher texture from before they are washed. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to get that way since they are advertised to get softer with use! I only wash all the baby stuff on cold and dry on a lower/medium heat, and I haven't found that they shrink any more after the initial wash! :) I love our a+a's!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825746 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:54:25 +0000 Pepper 825746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm interesting! Maybe I am crazy!</p> <p>I also just realized that I bought the "Aden by Aden and Anais" swaddle blankets, rather than the original A&amp;A swaddle blankets. The ones I bought are 44x44 and thinner, rather than the original ones... which are 47x47. Wonder if that made a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825735 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:49:00 +0000 wheres_c 825735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dryer shrinks them as well as baby clothes.....(especially pajamas!)<br /> I bought a drying rack from amazon and dry everything on the rack now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825715 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:40:42 +0000 Smurfette 825715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash and dry mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825713 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:39:42 +0000 autumnlove 825713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always machine dry and I haven't noticed any shrinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825711 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:38:29 +0000 photojane 825711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always machine dry &amp; I've never had a problem with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825698 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:34:15 +0000 delight 825698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anxious to hear response. Just got some this weekend at my shower and have them in the "to wash" pile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825696 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:33:36 +0000 immabeetoo 825696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I never measured mine but I definitely wash &amp; dry... especially in the early days, we used them like crazy when nursing or to mop up spit up. They worked just fine as swaddles after washing and drying too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aampa-swaddle-blankets#post-825694 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:32:26 +0000 Pepper 825694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I washed LO's A&amp;A swaddle blankets tonight (feeling very nesty these days!), and I dried them on low heat according to the tag... but I swear they shrunk! Is that normal? Or should I be air drying them? </p>
