NEW Swaddles from Aden + Anais

For us big kids, summer is the time to pack up the extra blankets for hibernation in the linen closet. No more bundling up in our snuggies to watch Thursday night's Project Runway marathon.

But for little summer-arrival peas with their delicate skin and flailing limbs, bundling up is only getting started.

Swaddling has far more benefits than keeping babies warm. It can help reduce fussiness, colic, and the incidence of SIDS. And it can make breastfeeding easier, naptime longer, and keep motor control in check for the first few weeks.

We have always loved our SwaddleDesigns flannel receiving blankets for their warmth and generous size. They are still one of our very favorite gifts to give new mamas after their cool-weather births.

But now we're thrilled to add a new, lighter-weight (but equally large!) option from Aden + Anais. Besides our obsession with the precious critters on the Mod About Baby 4 Pack, the super-soft 100% muslin cotton is just to die for!

They come in 2 Packs and 4 Packs, are reasonably priced, and make ideal baby shower gifts.
