their story:
Aden + Anais has brought the legacy of muslin together with fashion forward design to create a line of products that are as stylish as they are useful; and as simple as they are beautiful. We believe in muslin--the way it looks, the way it feels, the way it works--to improve the lives of babies and their mothers no matter who they are or where they live.
about muslin:When it came time to decide what fabric we would use in our products, and especially, in our swaddles we turned to the traditional practices of motherhood -- practices that transcend all boundaries of time and culture -- and chose muslin. Durable and gentle. Soft and strong. Breathable and comfortable. Time-tested and pure. Today, aden + anais is the steward of muslin's long legacy and ardent believers in its ability to bring mothers and babies closer together.
I have an aden + anais's cozy sleeping bag for Birdy and I really love it. The muslin is the perfect amount of warmth and protection on these chilly spring nights and it is comforting to have her "swaddled" in a sleep sac versus wrapped up in blankets. Not to mention the fact that I love the print and style. Aden + Anais has beautiful muslin products on their website, provides great instruction on swaddling babies (something I must perfect with my fussy baby number four) and is also doing great charitable work around the world. It is a company that is making helpful, healthy (and stylish) products for children, and also striving to do good in the world around them.

so beautiful and love the weight of muslin for a baby.
Posted by: Aimee | 27 April 2010 at 03:11 PM
wow, beautiful. I have the blankets and swear by them, they are so fabulous. no sleeping bag though.
Posted by: Kelly | 27 April 2010 at 03:22 PM
the A&A swaddling blankets are the absolute best ... my daughter now uses them as her blankies and she is nearly two!
Posted by: Maureen | 27 April 2010 at 03:23 PM
And to think that I just got an invite to a baby shower where all-natural products are a must.. fantastic!

I was just reading about this company on another pro-swaddling blog!
Posted by: Mrs. Samuel Alleyne Otis | 27 April 2010 at 03:33 PM
I've heard such wonderful things about their products (from you and everyone else I know, it seems!), I'd love to try it!
Posted by: Shelly | 27 April 2010 at 03:36 PM
LOVE!
I am moving away from the full swaddle for my little dude.
these bags are perfect!
Thanks!
Posted by: elizabeth jeanne | 27 April 2010 at 03:45 PM
My husband wants to try something like that. Our middle child (I have to get used to calling him that, after Thursday he won't be the youngest anymore!) always kicked (and still does, really) blankets off at night and then would be too cold.
I may have to try one of these out as per your suggestion. All these new baby products overwhelm me! (:
Posted by: melissa | 27 April 2010 at 03:46 PM
I love it! What beautiful, practical things. Count me in!

I have a set of their swaddling blankets, but the sleep sack is too cute!
Posted by: Alicia | 27 April 2010 at 08:19 PM
I have one of their cozy swaddle blankets on loan that I'm just using as a light regular blanket as baby girl doesn't like being swaddled. It is lovely fabric. I would love to have one of the sleep bags.
Posted by: nopinkhere | 27 April 2010 at 10:05 PM
cute. would love to be a lucky winner! thank you!
Posted by: erika | 27 April 2010 at 10:11 PM
This would solve my "what to put them in" question I am asking myself everynight when I put the twinnies to bed. Their current sleep sacks are too warm but with out one I think they get cold in the early mornings.... Enter me please!
Posted by: Lauren | 27 April 2010 at 10:24 PM
My best friend is due in a month. This would make a great gift.
Posted by: [email protected] | 27 April 2010 at 10:38 PM
Oooh I was thinking of buying one of these and I am due in 2 more weeks.
Posted by: amy | 27 April 2010 at 10:43 PM
I'd love to give muslin bags a try. We use sleep sacs for our kids and would never do anything else - they are so easy!
Posted by: Sarah | 27 April 2010 at 11:14 PM
First time mommy due in August too...this is SUPER cute and would definitely come in handy!
Posted by: Nicole | 28 April 2010 at 02:34 AM

I love baby bags! They are much better than blankets or those chemical filled sleepers.
Posted by: Casey M | 28 April 2010 at 01:16 PM
