I love this blanket so much let me count the ways…(1) certified organic (so hard to find), (2) large enough for a good, tight swaddle (for a good night sleep), (3) darling drawing showing how to swaddle baby sewn to blanket (even my husband can now swaddle like a nurse), (4) soft, soft, and softer with every wash! I just love this blanket and I feel so good wrapping my little bundle in the ULTIMATE – and I know he loves it too.

My son was huge at birth and around 2 months started to get fussy in the evenings. I discovered that swaddling helped but had a hard time finding a blanket big enough. The Ultimate Swaddling Blanket was perfect. Unlike some of the other swaddling products that can only be used to swaddled it’s actually a functioning blanket as well. Now we don’t swaddle him any more but we still use the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket to cover him up. It’s the perfect weight for covering him up without him getting too hot.

We tried other swaddling blankets but this is the only one we use. We received it as a gift and bought two more. The fabric is the perfect weight for swaddling–large and tightly woven enough to hold our squirmy 9-pound-newborn baby firmly and warmly (not too warmly), soft enough that you feel good wrapping your baby in it (the organic cotton helps, too). If you have a strong baby, then don’t waste your time with blankets made of T-shirt material, waffle weave, or the like; they stretch too much and baby’s arms will be out in no time. A nice feature is that this blanket has a tag, well-placed out of the way of baby’s face, that shows how to swaddle your baby in three easy steps (useful if you need a gentle reminder in your haze of sleep deprivation). The soft pile does thin a bit with multiple washings, but only slightly.

Don’t bother buying any other receiving blanket. This is the best! It is the right size, the right weight fabric, and sooooo soft. It gets softer every time I wash it. As a mother of three, I have used many types of blankets. This one works the best because the baby stays wrapped all night (which means the baby stays warm, secure, and asleep).

We used these blankets from day one and I think they are a ‘must have’. We swaddled our baby in one of these up until 3 months and it certainly made a difference to nap time and bedtime. We also use them for when we are reading and rocking before bedtime and also on the floor when he is playing. They are already lovely and soft but get softer with each wash. We live in a warm climate so the material is great for keeping our baby warm but not overheated. I really would recommend ordering at least 2 of these great blankets. They are nicely presented so also make great gifts.

Yes, this blamket is a little pricey. But, it is one of the only blankets out there that is actually big enough to use for proper swaddling. Plus, it’s really soft and not to heavy for babies to sleep in. Also, it seems to get softer with each wash!

we have the one with brown trim, but i had to write a review here too because we just LOVE this blanket. it’s super soft, the perfect size for swaddling, and nice and light AND still warm for baby. we live in hawaii so we love how this blanket keeps the drafts off our son, but doesn’t cause him to wake up sweaty. it costs a little more than your average cotton blanket but it’s COMPLETELY worth the money! i’d buy another in a second.

i have 2 of these. got one as a gift and then bought a second. they are so great and large enough to provide a good secure and good looking swaddle. they are many different designs by this company so check them out.
