aden + anais

Our Story

We're Aussie mothers who moved from Australia to the United State in 1996.  In preparation for the arrival of our children, Aden and Anais, we went in search of muslin wraps like the ones we have back home, a staple with Australian mothers.   None of the wraps we found on the market in the US were the right size, they were too small to securely swaddle our babies.  None of the materials the other wraps used were the same soft, breathable muslin cotton we were used to in Australia.  So, we decided to make our own.  Everywhere we went people would comment and ask us "where did you get the great wraps from?" Nurses in the hospital, paediatricians, obstetricians, lactation consultants, others in our baby groups and our friends all wanted our wraps for their own babies.

As a result aden + anais was established in 2004.

And that's the story of aden + anais so far.  We hope you find aden + anais products as wonderful and useful as we do.  We'd love to hear from you about your stories or suggestions.

Cheers

Why Swaddle?

This age old technique is used to make your baby feel safe and secure:

• Swaddling helps to make your baby feel secure and comfortable, as it is designed to imitate the security of the enclosed surroundings they experienced in the womb
• Swaddling helps your baby sleep on their back, the paediatrician recommended sleeping position
• Swaddling helps your baby stay asleep by reducing sudden arm and leg movements (startle reflexes)
• Swaddling keeps your baby's face uncovered
• Swaddling prevents your baby moving around the crib and getting into dangerous or uncomfortable positions
•  

 Easy to Wash

These delicate cotton wraps are light, yet durable, and can be machine washed and tumble-dried.  Best of all, the more you wash aden + anais muslin wraps, the softer they get, as the air from drying creates a unique waffled effect in the fabric. 

Be sure to wash them before use!
