I've been looking at muslin swaddling blankets (aden & anais) and I was wondering if any other mums out there have used those type of cloth? They look REALLY nice and soft and airy, and I am sorely tempted to get some, but the down side is, they cost about $50 (CND) for a pack of 4, which is a fair bit to spend on blankets, when I actually do have a closet full of other stuff....
With my other babies, I have always swaddled them at bed time, but just used a lightweight jersey-type blanket. Are the muslin really much better?
I debated finding some material myself, but I can't find the right sort of stuff. Plus, to find really good quality muslin, and make a two layer blanket, I would probably be close to $12 at least anyways, which is what one costs to buy.
So, tell me, are they worth the money? Are they everything you ever dreamed of?
