Which kind of Aden and Anais blankets did you get-the muslin, or the bamboo? Does it really make a difference?
Thanks!

We got the muslin. The bamboo is just a little softer, but they were already expensive enough so we opted for the regular muslin.

We got both! I think there is a pretty big difference and I love the bamboo ones...but they are pricey. If I had to do it over again, I would get the bamboo from the beginning.
I will say though, you have to be more careful with the bamboo ones, they snag sooo easy compared to the muslin.

We have both. The bamboo are so soft but fragile. They get pulls all the time and that bugs me. The muslin are still soft but more absorbent than the bamboo which made me prefer them when LO was more prone to spitting up.

Thank you If the bamboo snag, I have a feeling that's not for us. Anything that can snag in this house, does. Muslin it is!

I got the muslin first and loved them, and then got the bamboo ones and fell in love even harder. I was amazed at how much softer they are.

I have both and prefer the muslin. The bamboo ones are SO soft but snag, and they're much harder to get a tight swaddle with.

We have both and I LOVE how soft the bamboo ones are, but they do snag easily. They're not good for swaddling either since they're so slick.

I only have the muslin, but I really like them.
When my DD was a newborn, they were our go-to swaddle blankets, but even now - at 10.5 months - I never go anywhere without one (I think we have 8). They are *great* because it's like an all-in-one nursing cover, changing pad, burp cloth, blanket, toy (my baby likes to chew on the tag), stroller/car seat sun shade, booster seat for the Ergo, etc.

We have both! I love them for different reasons. The bamboo is best in the summer and in hot climates.

Question- Would you get the large sized one for a regular bed?
I haven't ever used one, and at that price, I don't know if its worth it.

So at BBB, they had some that were "Aden by Aden and Anias." Are these the same?

I have both and honestly I don't love the bamboo ones. They feel so thin (even though they're soft) and I find they sort of stretch out. I much prefer the muslin ones.

We have both. The muslin ones are better for a good snug swaddle, as others have said. We ended up not swaddling with A&A blankets - we use velcro swaddlers/sleepsacks - so the bamboo ones get more use as regular blankets since they are so nice & soft. I like that they are light and breathable, so I don't worry about draping one over her in the swing or something. (Not over her face, haha, but just in case for some reason it would get near her face while I'm not looking.)
