I don't think I would have used them any more if they were larger, FWIW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-278060 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:28:27 +0000 LivsMama 278060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shimmer: ABSOLUTELY. We used them daily for the first 8-9 months, and even now at 13 months we use them frequently. Moreso once the cooler weather starts for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-278057 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:26:58 +0000 LivsMama 278057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Phillybaby2013: Aden &amp; Anais =o) Its a large muslin blanket that can be used for anything from swaddling to nursing cover to sunshield to blanket, etc.</p> <p>@mrsjyw: I have Target ones, the regular A&amp;A ones I ordered from them, and the Bamboo ones. My favorite are the bamboo because they are SO soft. The target ones were great while liv was a newborn, but as soon as she got a bit bigger and stronger, we needed the size of the non-Target ones. We still use those at 13 months. Plus the non-Target ones are a little softer. But they will do the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-278013 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:05:44 +0000 Phillybaby2013 278013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time mom here...What's an A+A blanket? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277931 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:32:35 +0000 owlmom 277931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both, and vastly prefer the more expensive 47x47 version. They are so much softer than the Target version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277917 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:24:41 +0000 Mrsbells 277917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I have the target ones and I liked them so much I went back and bought another pack. They are worth it for me although some people claim they arent as soft or as big as the non target versions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277900 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:17:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 277900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the target ones and they have worked fine. I was happy because I could afford 2 packs! 4 was not going to be enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277893 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:13:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 277893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Target ones I bought off of Amazon. I was perfectly happy with them until I bought their Bamboo line! Those are sooooo super soft! Even with my hard water, it's so silky! </p> <p>But if you're having a winter baby, I recommend The Ultimate Swaddle Blanket. Their website is running a sale right now but otherwise they sell them at Nordstroms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277880 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:09:08 +0000 Weagle 277880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shimmer: I think it's a personal thing. LO wouldn't stay swaddled in hers past a week, so they aren't a must-have for us. I do like to have them around, but I have cheaper blankets that could serve the same purposes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277330 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:59:38 +0000 mrstilly 277330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pack of the 47" ones I got from a local shop. They are awesome and we still use them now, when DS is 17 months, albeit not for swaddling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277281 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:32:40 +0000 yin 277281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have the Target ones, and I still use them today with my 16 month old. If I had a do over, I probably would have bought the original A+A instead. They're bigger and if the quality is better -- then why not? It's only a little extra cost, and you will be using them for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277202 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:01:17 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 277202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target ones are a bit smaller and maybe a teensy bit less soft. I had both. I ended up liking the larger ones simply because I had a big baby who I swaddled until 6 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277171 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:50:00 +0000 prettylizy 277171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shimmer: worth their weight in gold, I use them constantly and they are my go to gift for new mamas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-277145 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:39:12 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 277145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had both and unless you have a really big baby I think it makes no difference. FWIW LO1 was right around 50% percentile at 4 months when we stopped swaddling and the size still fit fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276998 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:41:18 +0000 DillonLion 276998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got the Target ones as a gift this week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276993 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:39:50 +0000 autumnlove 276993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were nays for me. Maybe I got a bad batch but they don't feel soft even after being washed a lot! Love the 47x47 blankets from the AA website! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276990 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:38:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 276990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the babies r us ones, smaller size, and they feel absolutely fine. $27 with a coupon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276988 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:38:20 +0000 lemondrop 276988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm perfectly happy with the Target ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276985 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:37:26 +0000 twinmama 276985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the target ones and a few that i found thrifted. Each one feels slightly different in texture...some are more ridgy and some are more smooth. Doesnt really matter though, they are all soft. And they are all plenty big for my swaddle technique, even if slightly smaller.</p> <p>I might get a pack of 'original ' ones, but only because there is a pattern I lke :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276976 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:34:00 +0000 hilsy85 276976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nay!

After reading that, I just ordered them from Nordstrom at the sale a while back... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276810 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:43:33 +0000 Sammyfab 276810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The target ones are 44x44 and people complain that they are lesser quality. I like them just the same though (I have both target ones and regular ones) :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-aampa-blankets-yay-or-nay#post-276809 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:43:31 +0000 regberadaisy 276809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: yes, I have heard the Target ones are smaller.
