It is the best. Doesn't require A+ A but they do achieve it best. Most secure swaddle method I know of.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-678060 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:35:45 +0000 ladyfingers 678060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate them for swaddles -- DS breaks out every time -- and prefer the miracle blanket. But they are great, breathable blankets, nursing covers, car seat covers, burp cloths, tummy time/play date blankets and general wiper-uppers. They're cute and very soft. We have 8 of the 47x47 ones and use (and wash) them constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677876 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:08:22 +0000 FarmWifeGina 677876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had them, but I've seen/used those of friends and they're definitely on my wish list for Cricket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677853 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:56:54 +0000 Maysprout 677853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having a summer baby they were perfect for sooo many things. They were a great cover to keep some sun off of her, thin enough that I didn't worry about her roasting, I used it as a nursing cover, and a blanket to keep wind off of her when it wasn't cold. So I loved the fabric for summer.<br /> But the size is great too. When they're super tiny it seems like a lot but it just folds and gets tucked away. We used a monkey print swaddle in the hospital and it was so much cuter than the hospital swaddles, she looked like she was in a little cloud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677816 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:41:05 +0000 googly-eyes 677816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their size and breathable fabric make them useful for so many things! We love them and just bought more at six months...she doesn't get swaddled anymore. We used Halo sleep sacks for the best/easiest swaddles but A&amp;A occasionally too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677672 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:18:18 +0000 tysonja 677672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used them for swaddling at naps until he was 7 months old!</p> <p>we also used them a LOT for covering the carseat -- esp in the car with the bright sunlight. it was breathable and large enough to tuck tightly so it didn't fly off with the windows down.</p> <p>we also use it to put over his head when he needs to nap in the carrier. </p> <p>we only had 4, and that was juuussst enough, but i will buy one more pack when LO#2 arrives in august :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677597 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:50:46 +0000 Beehive 677597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We liked the Miracle Blanket for swaddling, and it probably won't have the fabric issue you're describing, since you can make it so the part right by his neck is in more of a "v" shape. But we use the A&amp;A blankets for all sorts of other things - we always have one in his stroller/carseat to keep him warm (usually with a heavier blanket on top as it's been cold). In the summer it will be a great blanket for outside as it's thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677380 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:25:49 +0000 Mrs. Polish 677380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a woombie and it may be that he isn't big enough for it yet, but he can push the fabric up toward his face and I don't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677372 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:23:30 +0000 winniebee 677372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got the hang of swaddling w/ thes because there is so much fabric and my baby was TINY. We used the velcro swaddlmes and the miracle blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677362 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:22:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 677362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had to use the sleep sacks to swaddle, and even those she managed to break out of. next baby i may try the woombie! i like the A+A to pack for nursing covers, and she sleeps with two in her crib as 'lovies'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677313 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:04:46 +0000 Smurfette 677313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love them! They stretch much better and are huge. DH hates the other ones we have. He can get the A&amp;A much tighter which she loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677304 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:00:43 +0000 Weagle 677304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're great blankets with many uses, but we never thought they were that great for swaddling. LO broke out every time. If you're going after a great swaddle, I would check out the Miracle Blanket and Woombie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677260 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:44:56 +0000 littlebittyhouse 677260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish everything that @hilsy85 said.</p> <p>We actually found that as he got older th A+A swaddles worked better than anything else. We used the 'Super Swaddle' Technique until he started rolling onto him tummy at night. It is quick, easy and they cannot get out!

Sun shades, blankets when it's cool, blanket for tummy time, wiping drool, using as a lovey...the uses are really endless. We love ours! And they are so cute :) </p> <p>That being said, once LO got older (like 2.5 months) we needed a more heavy duty swaddle, so we used an A&amp;A blanket with a swaddle me/velcro swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aden-anais-swaddles#post-677211 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:29:03 +0000 Mrs. Polish 677211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard that these are the best swaddles in the world. Can anyone with experience tell me what makes them so different from other swaddles? </p>
