Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants who need comfortable, breathable, and temperature-regulating legwear.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is known for its exceptional softness and natural hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
How do I wash these leggings?
They should be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid tumble drying; lay flat to dry instead.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, the natural temperature-regulating properties of merino wool mean these leggings are suitable for both warm and cool conditions, providing comfort in various seasons.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for a baby?
It means the merino wool fibers help keep your baby's body at a comfortable temperature. They provide warmth when it's cool and help prevent overheating when it's warm by allowing heat and moisture to escape.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The leggings should have a close but comfortable fit, without restricting movement. Check the size guide provided by DILLING and ensure the elastic waistband sits comfortably without digging into the baby's skin.
Can I use regular detergent on these leggings?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate merino wool and silk fibers.
How should I store these leggings when not in use?
Store them folded in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags for extended periods, as this can prevent the natural fibers from breathing. Cedarwood can help protect against moths.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stiff after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent. Reshape the leggings while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents or high spin cycles.
Elastic waistband feels loose
Check if the leggings have been overstretched during washing or drying. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can degrade elastic. If the issue persists after a few wears, the elastic may have reached the end of its lifespan.
Baby seems uncomfortable or irritated
Ensure the size is correct and not too tight. While merino wool is soft, very rarely a specific sensitivity might occur. Check for any loose threads or seams inside the leggings that could be causing irritation.
