I have to say...I found A&A blankets to be overrated.

(hides and ducks)

we don't use them for swaddling as I am lazy, but I love the bamboo ones, sooooooooooo soooooooooft.

Us too! I just don't get the hype. But I definitely suck at swaddling.

[ilikedonuts]

I wish I had known about these earlier this month when I needed to tell my MIL what I wanted for Christmas. Definitely putting it on my list for next Christmas though!

[karinothing]

I loved them, but not for swaddling. I loved them for nursing covers.

[zeewifeandmama]

I loved them for nursing covers too! Also, it was just the right weight for my summer babies.

Oooooh this is exciting! We didn't have great luck with swaddling (operator error) but I love these blankets for myself. DH would love one for bed.

[badtzmaru22]

Another vote for overrated.

[CloudBee]

I love that ocean color, but omg, they are so expensive.

[vanillacourage]

FYI you can buy gauze material in lots of colors at fabric stores and online. Not quite as soft as the AA blankets, but cheaper at roughly $4/yard. I made DS1 a big blanket (trimmed in Spiderman fabric, lol) for his bed for summer.

See, they were the only way we could swaddle J, so we LOVED them. However, I'm not sure I'd want a blanket like that for me. My adult size minky blanket I made for his room, on the other hand, is Ah-mazing!

I was just coming here to say that I'd much rather have an adult size minky blanket!

This isn't flammable at all. These blankets are up there with Sophie the Giraffe for me in terms of products that don't live up to the hype and are overpriced.

Ha! It was a total PITA to sew, but so worth it in the end.

I love A+A blankets, and so does LO.

It looks like the adult ones may be the thicker dream blankets? Where do you see how much they are? I will take one of these AND an adult size minky blanket, please.

[anna7602]

I don't get what swaddling has to do with it? DD is 4 and still loves her A & A blankets. We always travel with one and I often wish I had my own for the plane.

A full-sized A & A blanket to use for picnics would also be pretty awesome. Honestly, I've already come up with a few different uses for a me-sized A & A blanket. Thanks for posting, Pugz!

[Deleted]

Ditto overrated. The Miracle Blanket was the shit for swaddling. Loved that thing.

[anna7602]

By the way, I wouldn't mind an adult-sized sleep sack. Is Halo thinking of making those?

[pugz]

Yeah it is the dream blanket which is 2 layers i think? No price listed yet. My bet is over $50

There's a link under the picture. They are $125!!!

[littlebopeep]

I loved A & A for swaddling! We tried actual receiving blankets and DS would bust out of them and be so uncomfortable. I also used it for nursing when we were out. LOVE them!

[hannamaren]

I like it for covering the stroller from the sun

[Deleted]

I LOVED them but I think we used them for swaddling once. We would tuck them around him in the car seat so he didnt get cold in the air conditioning if we were driving or at teh mall or something, we used them to shield him from the sun when in the stroller, and I used htem for nursing covers. I always have one in my diaper bag.

[pugz]

woombie was a fail for us, Squirms managed to punch herself in the face through it.

[MamaMaui24]

I know it's too expensive to throw on the ground, but these would nice to put down on the floor for baby to roll around on.

My favorite was someone's comment asking if it would be weird to start asking her husband to swaddle her at night. Reminds me of a HIMYM episode.
