I'm looking for a warmer swaddle for our baby to wear in the winter months. Would this be a good choice for a warm, winter swaddle?

It's pretty warm without being too hot. She slept in it all summer with a onesie on. As it's gotten cooler out, we actually dress our little girl in normal PJ's with feet. She doesn't get overheated. She typically sleeps 10 hours at night now and takes a two hour nap during the day. We have two suits now... one for home and one for daycare. It's the best $40 we've spent so far on baby stuff! Definitely worth a shot!

Yes, its very warm but not hot - its cotton lined with fleece on the outside.

I am careful not to bundle up my daughter in a heavy onesie when we wear this. The two of us can generate some heat in the moby and we keep warm. It is breathable, stretchy and comfortable fabric but the closeness of the two of you could make your child overheat if you dress baby too much. The real trouble I have with the moby is the darn thing is so long that no matter how careful I am when I need to take it off, the ends always drag on the floor and that bothers me a lot. My friend uses a sling and she loves it. I also use other carriers and alternate but I do like the moby and would recommend. Hope this helps you and best wishes on your new child.

To me, this comforter is thick for a child/teen. Honestly I believe it's very warm, it was negative 20 windchill out this winter and my daughter had no issues keeping warm.

I'd recommend the larger size. I personally like things a little looser anyway and there is nothing wrong with this if it doesn't fit snug at first (unlike the recommendation for toddler pajamas). That will save you from having to buy a second one when the baby gets bigger.

This is a soft and lovable doll. It was a gift to my 6 year-old granddaughter and I haven't seen it since Christmas. I asked my daughter about your question. She said it is good for swaddling because of it softness.

I use it year round- its a light cotton. I live in CT and keep my house at 67 degrees at night. I make sure my baby always wears long sleeves and pants to bed- this adds a touch of warmth. My feeling is fleece is too warm since it doesn't breathe but I think many use fleece in winter. I prefer a light "blanket" type covering so baby doesn't overheat.

The comforter is kind of light. If the child is dressed warm at night then it should be warm enough. It feels more like summer bedding. I added extra blankets for how cold its been this winter.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

Yes! With the switch to cotton pj's instead of the fleece, it's a great weight to keep the little one warm at night. Especially if you live in Texas, like we do, and the a/c is on all night ;)

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

It is a medium thickness fleecy soft blanket. I use it coupled with other blankets during the winter, but by itself during spring and summer. So as long its not super hot I think it would be fine.

It to me feels more light and would be appropriate for Spring/Summer use. Could be for winter time but you'd probably want another blanket over or under it depending on how cold your home gets. Hope this helps.

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

Yes, I think this would work very well for training to swaddle an infant. I don't think that it would be very poseable because the top or arms and legs are soft white material and have now moveable joints.

We love our Aden blankets, however I would recommend getting a Halo sleep sack with swaddle for newborns. It is warmer and much easier to get baby in and out of in the middle of the night. For me it's also easier to swaddle my baby in the sleep sack as opposed to the Aden blankets. My husband can get the Aden blankets tight enough, but my Aden swaddle usually comes apart relatively quickly. Our baby is currently 2 months old and we live in a cooler climate. We have her sleeping in Pj's and the sleep sack and occasionally a hat for cold nights.

I suppose it would depend on your climate. I live in the Midwest where spring and fall can be chilly so I use my fleece blanket as a throw and put it on my bed at night. It is amazingly comfy!! In winter, during really chilly times, I use it more as a throw when watching TV or napping -- very snug, cozy and comfortable because it is so light. Using it under your comforter would, I think, make your bed warmer -- if that is what you'd like.

Hello Schoenike, I wouldn't keep this solely as a winter quilt. While it keeps me warm, it is not thick and fluffy or stuffed with anything. That being said, it is a lot heavier than I thought it would be, and it does keep me warm. Hope this helps!
