FAQs

What is the benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?

The blend combines merino wool's natural thermoregulation and breathability with silk's exceptional softness, providing optimal comfort and gentle feel against delicate skin.

Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties make it suitable for cooler months as a warm layer and for warmer months due to its breathability, helping to keep your baby comfortable in various temperatures.

How should I wash the bodysuit?

It is best to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate wool cycle at 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry.

Is this suitable for babies with sensitive skin?

Yes, the organic merino wool and silk blend is naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

How do the poppers make changing easier?

The poppers at the neck allow for easy head access, while the poppers between the legs provide quick and convenient access for diaper changes without needing to remove the entire garment.

What sizes are available?

This specific product is available for infants aged 6-18 months. Please refer to the product listing for precise size breakdowns.

Can I use a regular laundry detergent?

It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool and silk. Regular detergents can strip the natural oils from the fibers, affecting their softness and performance.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels itchy after washing.

Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and did not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly. The natural fibers should soften with wear.

Garment has lost its shape.

Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively during washing and drying. Lay flat to dry and reshape gently while damp.

Popper buttons are difficult to fasten/unfasten.

Check for any fabric caught in the popper. Ensure the poppers are aligned correctly. If persistent, contact customer support.

Skin irritation despite material being soft.

While rare, ensure there are no other contributing factors like detergents or washing residues. Wash the garment again with a mild wool detergent.
