Post contains affiliate links. I placed my first Kelly’s Closet order in 2009, but they have been around since 2001! Can you believe it? They are celebrating their 14th anniversary with 14 days of giveaways from a few of the 100+ brands they carry.
Aden + Anais (pronounced AY-dun and uh-NAY) is a well known company that has a variety of products from skin care, laundry care, adult daydream blankets to swaddle blankets for your little ones (just to name a few). Aden + Anais believes in using muslin because of it’s breathability and natural it’s natural softness and durability. Their products go through a rigorous course of testing before they hit the market because they keep safety as a top priority. Their signature iconic prints make them unique and make them who they are. They have a meaning behind each and every one of their designs.
I talked about aden+anais during my “virtual baby shower,” when I received a muslin sleep sack, but I had never tried one of their muslin swaddles, A.K.A. swaddling blankets.
Twinkle Pink, Radiant Red and Sweet Heart Swaddle are three adorable prints of the swaddle wraps, perfect for your little Valentine. They even come packaged in a cute muslin bag.
The wraps are extra-large at 47″ square. They are breathable thanks to the open weave, soft (they get softer with each wash) and durable. The classic swaddling blankets retail for $22, but buying various print collections in 4-packs brings the price to under $12.50 per swaddle wrap!
You can also buy organic blankets, bamboo muslin blankets (I want to feel one of these!) and they even have a cozy collection with 2-layer blankets!
The blankets can stand in as burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers (pictured below over a stroller!), portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more. An aden+anais swaddle would be the perfect gift for yourself your little one, or another special person.
Check out the full aden+anais collection, find aden+anais on Facebook and follow aden+anais on Twitter.

October is SIDS awareness month, and Aden & Anais (you may know them for their popular muslin swaddling blankets!) are proud sponsors of the CJ foundation for SIDS. They have a great PDF flyer with 10 safety tips and one of those tips is to remove loose bedding, and consider a wearable blanket instead.
I received an Aden & Anais slumber, classic muslin sleeping bag. It is a light weight, single layer of muslin, and is available in 8 prints/colors. I received the Jungle Jam elephant print! The sleeping bags are also available in a cozy version, which is 4 layers of muslin.
I chose the size small, which fits up to 6 months, 23-28″ and 10-18 lbs. I love that they are available in sizes up to XL, which fits 18-24 months, 35-40″ and 26-36 lbs. So you can keep your baby safe and cuddly warm, no matter what his age or size.
Muslin’s light, open weave allows your baby’s body to regulate it’s temperature, without getting overheated. They’re breathable and soft, and get softer with every wash.
There’s an extra strip of muslin over the zipper, so you don’t have to worry about it scratching your little one!
The sleeping bags are designed to be worn over pajamas, and zip from the bottom to make diaper changes easier!
My son caught me trying to take some pictures and insisted that his bear model for you (he is used to me snatching his Manni for newborn diaper photos!)
I can’t wait to have a new baby to put in this sleeping bag, and the elephant print will be adorable whether it’s a boy or a girl!!
Giveaway: One winner will receive an Aden & Anais classic sleeping bag in his/her choice of size and print (ARV $32.00) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.
