Amazon Essentials Unisex Babies’ Swaddle Blankets, Pack of 3

Great value for money. Lovely soft blankets – being used everyday for baby. Have been washed several times and still in great condition.

I love these blankets. Great elasticity, warm, and overall beautiful colors. The only reason I knocked off 2 stars is because my baby hasnt been born yet, but I just washed them and the blue and white striped one I thought was the cutest already has the seem coming out. While bbn I was folding it I noticed that it looks like it had been skipped when being sewn. Like a part that never got put in the border. Anyway, really sad because I’m not going to return the whole set to get a replacement because I dont have the time or energy for it.
If all 3 were usable I would say it’s a great deal. But since they aren’t, it’s not.

We were taught at the hospital 2 different but very simple swaddling techniques. By the time we left we were confident in how to effectively swaddle our newborn, only to discover the blankets we had at home we had intended to use for swaddling were either way to small or way to big. We had smaller fleece swaddle blankets that worked for a week or so but she quickly grew too quick for them to hold her in a swaddle. We also had muslin blankets that we tried but weren’t expecting them to be so large, we couldn’t figure out what to do with all the extra material.

Then I found these Amazon Essentials swaddle blankets. They are well made and the stitching is quality. They are super soft cotton and are a perfect and normal size for a 0-4 month old baby. They also have some stretch to them making it easier tuck extra blanket in where necessary. These became the only blankets we used to put her to sleep for 4 months, until she started rolling from back to front. We still use these as light blankets for car rides and naps. Well worth it.

These blankets are my favorite for swaddling, just the right size (not too big and bulky, not too small to do the burrito wrap and stay securely on the baby); they’re perfectly square instead of awkwardly rectangular, wonderfully soft and stretchy, lightweight and breathable. I’ve tried the flannel ones, and I don’t like that they don’t stretch so it feels like I’m straight-jacketing my baby instead of comforting them in the swaddle like these do. My only caveat is that I’d prefer 2-ply/reversible, but at only $6 each (compared to $12-15 each for 2-ply) I’m certainly not complaining – I will be buying more for my babies, and as gifts for every new parent I know. I love them!

I love the quality of these. Great for swaddling your newborn. Soft and with just enough stretch.
I only wish they were a tad bigger as I have a fast growing boy. He was 10lbs at birth and is well on his way to 13lbs in 5short weeks. With every pound he gains it gets harder and harder to get a really secure swaddle with these.
Still a great deal!

After struggling with shaped swaddling blankets and other such baby products I decided to go back to basics and do it the way I know best. With a square peuce of fabric. These swaddling muslins are fabulous. They are soft, big and very easy to wash. My daughter absolutely loves them. They arent too thick so you dont run the risk of your baby over heating either. I am so pleased and would highly reccomend them. Plus the Patterns are pretty!
