aden + anais

So, this weekend was another weekend of baby talk with my chickies, and I even found out about another little one who will be entering the world next year, so my brain is back to shower gift ideas.

A good friend of mine introduced me to aden + anais and their cotton muslin products when I was pregnant with Bean and since then I have seen and heard about their products EVERYwhere!  They have quickly become an obsession of mine, and it seems like it has hit Hollywood too.  Check out these hottie's and their babes snuggled up with their aden + anais swaddlers and blankies.

So, other than their obvious trend appeal, why should you try these? 

Well, first, the material is amazing.  Super soft, breathable, and gets better with every wash (which obviously is important with little ones...trust me...1 kid and my laundry doubled.  2 kids and it quadrupled.  Not sure how that works, but it's true!).  The swaddles are also very large which makes the actual swaddling process soooo much easier!  And of course, the research that says swaddling can help prevent SIDS and help your baby sleep better are HUGE reasons to try it with your baby.

Second, the designs are to die for. 

 

Whether you go with the original swaddle, like this four pack of baby cakes swaddles...

 

Or you prefer the organic cotton swaddle ...

You really can't go wrong.  

Plus, aden + anais, is way more than just a swaddle company.  They also have other fantastic products like the burpy bibs that I couldn't live without.  This burp cloth easily converts to a bib with a little snap closure, and protects your baby's clothes sooooo much better than a traditional bib.  And of course, the fact that it is soft and made from 100% cotton muslin doesn't hurt either.  Like I said, I didn't know about this company until right before I had Bean, but if I had known with P, I would have totally stocked up on this prince charming design. 

A-dorable!! 

Or these issie security blankets.  They conveniently come in a pack of two so that you have an extra for when one is in the wash, or heaven forbid, you lose one.  I still have these on Bean's wish list...perhaps Santa will stick some in her stocking...

And maybe a coordinating dream blanket will be under the tree :)  (Santa, are you reading??)



So, if you are expecting a baby gift from me in the near future, you may be receiving some of these amazing products.  And if you are expecting a baby in the near future, be sure to add some of aden + anais goodies to your registry.  They even have a line at Target now...could you ask for anything more?! ;)
