SwaddleDesignsMarquisette Swaddling Blanket, Premium Cotton Muslin, Pastel Blue Paisley

True to southern California weather, as the summer temperatures started to climbed into the 80s & 90s, I really needed a blanket that wouldn't smother my 2-month-old baby yet still keep her covered when we went out. The flannel receiving blankets that I had been using would leave her hot if I covered her and when I used them to at least block out the sun from glaring into her face, it would get extremely stuffy. Swaddle Designs marquisette blanket is the perfect answer for us! I was initially looking at other muslin blankets that are out on the market, but the texture was really coarse. Even though the companies say that the product would get softer over time and use, I didn't want to buy a blanket that wasn't soft and comfy until it was worn in. I was a bit confused about what marquisette was and how it was different from muslin, but the company states that it is "similar to muslin except it is softer due to the finer threads and higher thread count." And it sure is! I was so happy with the blanket that I also got another one with a different print. I love the designs and my baby loves it too! It's large enough that I can layer it when it's cold at night and thin enough that I even use it as a nursing cover, yet it isn't see-through. This is a great BREATHABLE blanket that can be used not only to cover your baby, but also to cover yourself when nursing or to cover baby from the sun when going out!

This was a great swaddle for a gift. It wasn’t that soft but hopefully with some fabric softener it will soften up. Nice and lightweight. Perfect for a Texas baby.

I was drawn to this swaddle blanket because of the cute design and color. I have a 4 pack from Aden + Anais that I've been using and I find them to be softer and stetchier, which helps me to swaddle baby tighter. However, they are rectangular so I do find myself having to take the time to position it correctly before laying baby down. The SwaddleDesigns are square so any way works & are much larger so I feel like I could swaddle him longer with this blanket. The SwaddleDesigns also seem like a slighter heavier cotton weave, that, coupled with the extra material, makes it seem more for cold weather. If we are still swaddling during winter I will buy more of these, but for summer months I will stick to my A + A swaddles.

I got a swaddle designs brand in my amazon registry box and loved it. It was our favorite, super big and super soft. Only got softer after each wash. I wanted some more as they are great for all kinds of uses. I saw the Marquisette and wasn't really sure what the difference was but it looked fancy, so i bought it. I still don't know the difference. It seems the same, maybe not quite as soft as the regular, if i buy more i'll get the regular. I love the design!

I have two of these in cotton and that’s what I thought I was purchasing. These are very lightweight and not soft at all. I wouldn’t recommend unless you live in a very warm climate and need something lightweight and breathable

I like this product because it is lightweight, so you don't have to worry about your baby overheating in normal sleepers. It is also large enough to swaddle a 3-6 month child, which is good for us, since our son would still wake himself up with his arms doing unhelpful things during this period (pulling out his pacifier, occasional startling, etc.). The design is also very nice. The only thing I didn't really like was that the blanket holds wrinkles (think linen pants), but it's not a major problem for its use.

I bought this when my son was 3 months old and always startling himself awake, but too long for the regular swaddle wraps. I didn't get much use for swaddling him out of this, though it did fit him (at 25" long), as he was able to wiggle out of it pretty easily. What I do use it for is as a lightweight nursing cover (no more sweaty baby undercover in restaurants!) and makeshift sling to help me carry some of his weight (note: a knotted blanket "sling" is not sufficient to carry all of your baby's weight safely, hold on to him!). Love the fabric and design, great blanket.

My daughter had this blanket as a baby, and it became her favorite lovey as she grew older. At five years old and after lots of rough love, it finally developed a few holes, and she was devastated. I was thrilled to see SwaddleDesigns was still making the same blanket in the same design! She is so pleased to have a new blanket just like her old one.

Gorgeous, very soft, holds shape, huge so can be used for swaddling, versatile when out, snuggly, great price and beautiful packaging. Love it. Also you get access to some white noise options with a scan QR code that links to their site. Nothing negative to say! I've got 5 of them!

Just a piece of material. Absolutely not worth the money.

Not as soft as I would want muslin to be

Great colour, nice and light material

Lovely pattern and good value for money. Really big Muslim cloth. I take it everywhere my daughter and I go.
