@mrsjyw: 47x47"

@mrsjyw: yes, I have heard the Target ones are smaller. Read the description before buying!

On the same A&A thread about the bigger size being the one to get, several people posted that the Target ones felt different or not as high of a quality? After reading that, I just ordered them from Nordstrom at the sale a while back...

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.

I might get a pack of 'original ' ones, but only because there is a pattern I lke

I have the babies r us ones, smaller size, and they feel absolutely fine. $27 with a coupon

Just got the Target ones as a gift this week

@Shimmer: worth their weight in gold, I use them constantly and they are my go to gift for new mamas.

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.

@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.

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!

I have both, and vastly prefer the more expensive 47x47 version. They are so much softer than the Target version.

@Phillybaby2013: Aden & Anais =o) Its a large muslin blanket that can be used for anything from swaddling to nursing cover to sunshield to blanket, etc.

@mrsjyw: I have Target ones, the regular A&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.

We have the target ones and I hardly used them, so I am glad I didn't spend more for them. I don't think I would have used them any more if they were larger, FWIW.
