Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these during a lightning sale thinking it would be great to have some less expensive versions of the original blankets to send to day care. I am incredibly disappointed with these blankets. I absolutely LOVE the orignal Aden + Anais blankets and highly recommend them to everyone. They are wonderfully soft and cozy and their large size lets you use them for just about everything.
As for the Pinzon, the only thing good about them is the size. I keep washing them hoping they will get softer but they are still VERY rough. Even though they are less expensive than the original Aden + Anais, they are still fairly expensive as blankets go. Since you're spending that much to begin with I highly recommend spending a couple extra dollars and getting a much better product (Aden + Anais 100% Cotton Muslin Swaddle Wrap, Jungle Jam, 4 Pack).

Pinzon Baby by aden + anais, 100-Percent Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blanket, 4 PackGreat for a wide variety of uses, this set of four swaddling blankets works for babies and moms from the newborn stage all the way through the toddler years. The soft, breathable, cotton muslin also serve as burp cloths, nursing shields, stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy-time blankets, changing table covers, and more. Seasoned parents know, and new parents will soon realize, what a smart, efficient gift these make for yourself or others.
Sold in packs of four and printed in enduringly stylish designs, the swaddle blankets combine easily with any existing baby gear. Patterns include Tea Party, Night Owl, Wild Thing, and Rocket Man. Wild Thing delightfully depicts jungle animals hanging out and twittering about. On soft white backgrounds, aqua, tan, and yellow animals abound. Each of the four blankets features one kind of animal pattern: mama elephant gently leads her baby by the trunk, birdies are flying loop-de-loops, monkeys are hanging by the tail, and giraffes are standing tall.
The blankets were carefully planned by renowned baby gear designer, aden + anais, to be crafted from 100-percent cotton muslin. Gentle, strong, durable, breathable, and comfortable, muslin fabric is pure and time-tested. Used in garments for members of the Indus Valley Civilization 7,000 years ago, as well as gracing the robes of ancient Greeks and Romans, cotton muslin was also used by the ancient Egyptians to swaddle their babies. An all-weather fabric, muslin protects from the heat and the cold. Its light, open weave allows a baby\'s body temperature to regulate itself naturally. Muslin is slightly stretchy, and therefore ideal for swaddling, as the natural give allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive.
Swaddling\'s ability to soothe and calm babies has been enjoyed by mothers around the world for countless generations. It is said to recreate the secure and cozy feeling of the womb. In 2002, the medical journal Pediatrics published a study that explained why babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully. Swaddling can help prevent spontaneous reflex movements from waking babies continually during the night. The same year, the Journal of Applied Physiology wrote that swaddled infants can stay in REM sleep (the most restorative, deepest sleep) longer than those who were not.
Generously sized, each swaddling blanket measures 47 by 47 inches to wrap any size baby with ease. Written and illustrated swaddling instructions are included on each package, so first timers can proceed with confidence. Easy to care for, the blankets are 100-percent safe to clean in the home washer and dryer and, best of all, the more they're washed the softer they get.
