Aden + Anais has quickly become one of my favorite companies for baby. Their products are of great quality and they are incredibly soft and perfect for babies. In the past I’ve used their sleep sack but now I got the chance to use their oh-so-ah-mazing bibs and muslin swaddle blankets. You’ve heard me talk in the past about how much I love muslin swaddle blankets for baby Addy so I was thrilled to try some from Aden + Anais.
First, let’s talk about the bibs. Aden + Anais’ bibs were voted Most Absorbent Infant Bib by the Cribsie Awards! Congrats Aden + Anais!! I am here to confirm that they are indeed absorbent! Baby Addy spits up A LOT and these bibs have become a requirement when holding her! The reason I say that is because these can be used as burp cloths and because they are very absorbent they can hold all of her spit up! They are made of natural, gentle muslin material and are incredibly soft, in fact, softer after each wash!
We received the Princess Posie burpy bib set. The set comes with two burpy bibs and they are perfect for using at home or on the go! They are made of FOUR layers of cotton muslin fabric! I love that they can grow with baby and be used in the infant stages and can be used throughout the toddler stages as bibs! How’s that for a great value?! There is just one quick snap to put it on your child as a bib! They are generously sized and perfect for putting over my shoulder when burping baby Addy and they fit great around a toddler for full coverage too when they are eating! (Yes, I tried them on our 22 month old to see how they fit him!) You can see it covers him all the way across his front, over his arms and shoulders and even in the back!
Our burpy bibs coordinated perfectly with the muslin swaddle blankets we received! We were also sent the Princess Posie Swaddle Collection for review!
The Swaddle Set includes four muslin swaddle blankets. They are made of 100% cotton muslin and these too increase in softness with each wash! I love them! The prints are beyond adorable and I cannot wait to get more of these! The fabric is very light and airy and the best part? They allow for baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally so there are no worries of baby overheating!! We wrap baby Addy in these blankets every night. I don’t swaddle her with her arms in, but I do wrap the blanket around her to keep her warm and cozy as she sleeps. They are generously sized at 47″x47″ and are great for so many things in addition to wrapping baby! They can be used as a light stroller blanket, a blanket over the car seat on not so hot days, a nursing cover, a sun block, to change baby on…the possibilities are endless! Because of their generous size too, they can grow with baby and your toddler can use them as a light blanket for warmer nights or naps!
My Final Thoughts: We absolutely love both our burpy bibs and swaddle blankets! The fabric is incredibly soft and the items are both incredibly versatile so you really do get your money’s worth! Aden + Anais once again has captured our hearts with their amazing products that are definitely made for baby but designed for parents!
Aden + Anais offers such a wide range of baby products and once you try one item, you’ll HAVE to get more! They have an amazing selection of sleeping bags, towel/washcloth sets, dream blankets, skin care products, security blankets, crib sheets and more!

i learned swaddling is one of the most gentle, effective, and beneficial practices for mothers and their children.
Muslin is a finely-woven breathable fabric believed to have originated in Bangladesh during the Middle Ages. It’s delicate, yet durable weave, makes the fabric stretchy, and therefore ideal for swaddling, as the natural give” allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive.
I learned that babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully because the wrap prevents spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) from waking them up continually during the night.
I learned how to do a basic swaddle on a baby. Can’t wait to try it on my little due in July
I learned that swaddling seems to build a bond between mothers and their babies!
