FAQs

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and thermoregulating. It helps keep babies comfortable by adapting to their body temperature, wicking away moisture, and is gentle on sensitive skin.

Can this bodysuit be worn in all seasons?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it ideal for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and stays breathable in summer.

How do I wash my merino wool bodysuit?

Wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to dry.

Is the bodysuit suitable for newborns?

Yes, the soft, organic merino wool and the easy-access American neckline and poppers make it very suitable for newborns and infants.

What does the 'American neckline' mean?

An American neckline is an envelope-style opening that goes wider across the shoulders, making it easier to pull the bodysuit on and off over a baby's head.

Why does it have a 'tiny rib structure'?

The subtle rib structure adds flexibility and stretch to the fabric, allowing the baby to move freely and comfortably without the garment feeling restrictive.

Can I use regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and performance.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels itchy

Ensure the bodysuit has been washed with a wool-specific detergent before first wear. If itchiness persists, it may be a sensitivity to wool, although merino is typically very soft.

Bodysuit has lost its shape

Avoid high-temperature washing and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry. If it has stretched, try re-shaping while damp and allowing it to dry flat.

Stains on the fabric

Treat stains gently and promptly using a wool-safe stain remover. Wash according to care instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously.

Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the fabric around the poppers is not bunched up. Gently align the poppers before fastening. If they feel stiff, it may loosen with use.
