Aden + Anais

One thing I found soooo much easier when I had the twins as opposed to when the boys were babies was their transition to a full, uninterrupted night of sleep. The reason: I discovered swaddling! It was that simple. Swaddling is said to be as familiar to babies as it is to their moms because it recreates the secure and cozy feeling of the womb -- and using swaddles made of natural cotton muslin only enhances that blissful feeling. Why muslin? Muslin’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally helping to prevent overheating. 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 snugly around a baby without being overly restrictive. In comes, Aden + Anais.


In preparing for the arrival of their babies, a pair of Aussie mothers who had moved from Australia to the United States, went in search of muslin wraps like the ones they had back home. None of the wraps they found on the market in the US were the right size, nor were the materials used the same soft, breathable muslin cotton they were used to in Australia. They felt that muslin was the most ideal fabric to use on the delicate skin of their newborns and so they decided to make their own. Aden and Anais products also include a line of bamboo and organic swaddle blankets, cotton towels and muslin washcloths, burpy bibs, blankets and security blankies and most recently, sleeping bags. Aden + Anais sleeping bags are designed to be worn over a baby’s pajamas, ensuring a safe night’s sleep by eliminating loose crib blankets, which can be dangerous.


Breath easy. Sleep tight. Shop Aden + Anais.
