Or are they all the same? There are so many, so I thought I would ask people who have had recent experience with them.

I have some Bananafish ones that I love. They are cute and are pretty big.

I like Tiddliwinks. They are large & soft!

I love the Gerber thermals- really stretchy so they worked really well with swaddling.

aiden + anais muslin swaddling blankets.

but I wouldn't bother registering for any. people will get whatever they want anyway.

they are well worth the money - and mamabargains has them 1/2 price often. they are AWESOME! Perfect when it's hot- just a little coverage without being hot - but also good when it's cold if folded up a little more... great for nursing, playing on the floor, swaddling (even a big baby b/c they are huge).

I have 8 of these so that i always have 2 clean and ready to go.

I just use recieving blankets for burping and cleaning up drool/spit so they are all the same to me.

I have ones made by bambino land they are huge. Their great for swaddling. They also get softer every time you wash them

i have all Amy Coe ones. they are awesome. much larger than most and very durable. i have the ones that coordinated with both of my kids bedding sets and they are great.

i bought extra of each to make pillows for their rooms. they are sooo soft the kids love them for playtime.

You want the largest ones you can get, especially if you are swaddling with them (DS had to use the SwaddleMe cause he broke out of the receiving blankets). I have some that are tiny and aren't worth using.

We use Carter's, but haven't used them since the summer. Now we use heavier fleece blankets. I have heard nothing but rave reviews of the Aden and Anais blankets.

Small Wonders, they are a little stretchy and awesome for swaddling.

I probably wouldn't buy any until your showers are over. We got sooo many that I still don't think we've used them all.

Oh- and our hospital doesn't allow people to take the blankets. I know that a lot will let you take the diapers, etc but not blankets, onesies, anything that can be washed and re-used.
