Yummy Swaddling Wraps by Aden & Anais

Posted on 29 Jun 2010 | 2 comments

Sadly neither Katy or I had a delicious little newborn baby to try out he Aden & Anais swaddle from LushBaby, so we asked Bec from BeetrootandGherkins to help us out – Blossom seemed quite willing, so happily Bec said yes. Here’s what she thinks:

You want my honest opinion? Of course you do! Well, when I first opened the swaddle wrap and it was still in its packaging I thought ‘’oooh pretty!’’

It’s white with delicate pink hearts on it – pretty but not too pretty. I’m a funky girl at heart, so in turn is my 9 week old daughter Blossom.

However on opening it I thought ‘’Ooooh, pretty rubbish!’’

You see I thought they were trying to con me, ‘’this is just a flaming mahoosive muslin’’ I thought. And what is muslin other than a burp cloth and sick mopper upperer! If you see what I mean?

Well I am first to admit it. I was wrong. It’s flipping fabulous! I literally cannot get it washed quick enough to use again. It is a fabulous size for a swaddle, and because it is a simple square, technically you could keep altering the size of the triangle you fold it into to keep swaddling as your little person gets less, well, little? I am still swaddling Blossom now.

The fact that it is made of muslin means it is breathable so I don’t fret about overheating.

Its size means it makes a nice makeshift play mat when you’re out and about; heck you can even use it as a changing mat whilst on your adventures (careful though, Blossom has some poop that sprays some distance when being changed – one cough and game over!)

They’re £15 each from Lushbaby – but a bargainous £33 for a pack of four (which will save the waiting-for-the-wash issue) and with a wealth of uses way past the newborn swaddle stage.

So I take it back.

It’s not just flaming mahoosive muslin after all!

You can find Bec (along with the most beautiful Blossom and Big Brother Monty (nearly 3) over on Beetroot and Gherkins.
