FAQs

What is the main benefit of merino wool and silk for baby clothing?

The blend offers natural temperature regulation, breathability, and exceptional softness, making it comfortable in various conditions and gentle on sensitive skin.

How do I wash this bodysuit?

It's best to hand wash or use a delicate wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.

Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk make it suitable for both warm and cool weather as a base layer.

Is the fit suitable for sleep?

The bodysuit has a close but comfortable fit designed for movement. Some parents prefer looser fits for sleep, but many find this comfortable due to the soft, non-restrictive fabric.

How do the poppers work for changing?

There are poppers at the neck for easier dressing over the head and poppers between the legs, allowing for quick and convenient nappy changes without fully undressing the child.

What sizes are available?

This bodysuit is available in various infant sizes, such as 6-9 months, 9-12 months, and 12-18 months, catering to different stages of early childhood.

What is the material composition?

The bodysuit is made from 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels stiff after washing.

This can happen with wool. Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softener. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape.

Poppers are difficult to open/close.

Ensure poppers are fully aligned before fastening. If they feel stuck, try gently wiggling them. Consistent use should ease them.

Garment has shrunk.

Likely due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. This material is best cared for by hand washing or a very gentle, cold wool cycle.

Child seems too warm or too cold.

While the fabric is thermoregulating, consider the overall layering. Adjust outer layers based on the ambient temperature and your child's activity level.
