here you go :)

and if you dont like plain white its very easy to dye them with dylon either washing machine or cold water dye, you can even tie dye them and they look great :)

I bought the Aden Anais prince charming 4 pack. They arrived yesterday from amazon!

I'm due in June and my SIL swore by hers so I'm hoping I'll get my money's worth Smile

PreciousPuddleduck · 18/05/2012 18:31

I bought them online from Amazon, 40 quid ish for 4 cute pink ones. Have used them for swaddling DD in from birth, she is 9 days old and has slept 12-6 from day 2 swaddled in A&A. They are expensive but I said to my hubby that I was happy to spend good money on anything that would help us to get a decent nights sleep & funnily enough he agreed :)

I bought 4 Aden and Anais swaddles in the star pattern when I was Pg, in fact, it was my first purchase. I paid £35 and had to talk myself into it. However, I have had a LOT of use out of them.

DD is 5 months old and since birth has been swaddled in one for every sleep and bedtime. I used to keep one in the bottom of the buggy so if I was at someones house, I'd swaddle her there. I also used them at the beach for her to lie on and hang over the front of the pram to shade her. I also use them (still) as a bottom sheet for her Travel Cot as she has outgrown her Moses Basket.

I love them. Though I am secretly a bit gutted that you can get them for £20 from TK MAxx and wish I knew that a year ago Grin

I imagine they'll still be used by DD in years for capes, dens etc.

We have quite a small store and they were in with a really small baby section with baby toys etc, they are lovelySmile I'm fairly sure I've seen them on eBay too

Susieloo · 18/05/2012 18:46

Forgot to say they are plain white ones

GnocchiNineDoors · 18/05/2012 19:01

Hmmm..don't feel so bad now, as I'd rather pay the extra and get the snazzy prints Grin

scarletforya · 18/05/2012 19:34

I got a 3 pack in Aldi for ?2.75 !!! They're a ridiculous price elsewhere!

Consort · 18/05/2012 19:41

I have an A&A sleeping bag for DD as she's too big for swaddling now. I also saw a 4 pack of muslins at TK Maxx for £20 in the baby section in Wimbledon.

FuckingThorDaddyman · 18/05/2012 19:45

I've got a set and love them! Bought them for dd almost 3 years ago and used them for ages. Now using the same ones for ds and no stretching/colour loss problems at all. They still feel lovely and keep my boy all snuggly :)

Fraktal · 18/05/2012 19:48

Oh I love them. I have 2 sets, plus the blankets, and their little sleeping bags, although some of those were gifts. They're swaddles, playmats, sunshades, buggy liners, airport bassinet liners, refluxy baby sheet savers (fold lengthways in 4 and put under the head, change when baby sicks up)...
