5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful blanket!, May 27, 2009

This review is from: SwaddleDesigns Organic Ultimate Receiving Blanket - Natural with Chocolate Brown Trim (Baby Product)

PROs

1) Arrives soft
2) Washes VERY well and stays soft (for 3 months so far, at least in Dreft which I use on Pediatrician's rec)
3) Perfect size for swaddling... a nice, large square
4) Good material for swaddling... not too stretchy
5) Available in attractive patterns... and photograph well
6) The labor/delivery and maternity/baby ward nurses all exclaimed over how great these are

CONS
1) a little pricey...but worth it
2) if your baby will be in a very hot climate without air conditioning (like Honolulu in August) you may want to go with something else.... in air conditioning this is fine in warm weather

5.0 out of 5 stars expensive but worth it, June 22, 2011

This review is from: SwaddleDesigns Organic Ultimate Receiving Blanket - Natural with Chocolate Brown Trim (Baby Product)

I hesitated to register for this blanket because it's so expensive, but I am so glad I did. It's worth the money because we get so much more use out of it than the smaller, cheaper receiving blankets. This is our favorite blanket for cold weather or air conditioned rooms, while we usually use the Aden + Anais muslin blankets (also expensive but worth it) in warmer weather. I also thought about getting this blanket in a different color or pattern, but I am glad I went with the off-white flannel with chocolate trim stitching. It matches everything, and when it's in photos (which is often), it's neutral, keeping the focus on my son. The blanket is a great size (big enough for swaddling), super soft, just the right thickness (warm but not too heavy), and washes/wears well. The only things I would change are the tags. There are two, and while they are silky and soft, they are still annoying. One is kind of large and has swaddling instructions, which I think is unnecessary to permanently attach to the blanket. The tags are sewn in with the decorative edge stitching, so cutting them off might mess up the blanket. They are centered on one side, which makes folding the blanket in halves awkward, and we're frequently adjusting the blanket so that the tags aren't near our baby's face. Even with that minor complaint, though, I still give this blanket five stars.

Our infant liked being swaddled until she was older and longer. She was about 4 months old before we were able to stop swaddling her (but she was a long baby). This swaddle fit her perfectly. She liked it and slept well in it.
Now I use it by rolling it up tightly and tucking it into my diaper bag, it works for trips to the park when she had "tummy time" and now I can use it as a light blanket for her if we are out and it gets chilly. So it has been one of the most versatile blankets and well used blankets we have had.

This is a great baby gift for yourself or a friend, because those initial receiving blankets only work for about the first 4 weeks of life, and then it seems the baby outgrows them, so those seem like a waste to me now.
