FAQs
Why is this bodysuit recommended for newborns?
It's designed to be put on without pulling over the baby's head and uses incredibly soft, natural fibers that are gentle on delicate newborn skin. The wrap style and poppers make dressing and changing easy for parents.
How does merino wool help regulate my baby's temperature?
Merino wool has natural thermoregulating properties. It can trap air to provide warmth in cooler temperatures and is breathable, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape in warmer conditions, helping to keep your baby comfortable.
Can this bodysuit be used year-round?
Yes, the breathable and thermoregulating nature of the merino wool and silk blend makes it suitable for year-round use. It acts as an insulating layer in cooler weather and a comfortable, breathable layer in warmer weather.
What is the main benefit of the silk component?
The silk adds an extra layer of softness and a luxurious feel, enhancing the comfort against the baby's skin. It also contributes to the garment's breathability and temperature control.
How often should I wash this bodysuit?
Wash only when necessary, as frequent washing can wear down the natural fibers. Airing the garment out between uses can often suffice. When washing, follow the specific care instructions for wool.
Is this bodysuit suitable for babies with eczema?
Yes, merino wool and silk are natural, hypoallergenic fibers that are very gentle and breathable, often being well-tolerated by babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
What does 'wrap bodysuit' mean?
A wrap bodysuit fastens around the baby, typically with poppers on the side and/or bottom, rather than being pulled over the baby's head. This makes it easier to dress and undress a newborn.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels scratchy after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Air drying flat rather than tumble drying also helps maintain softness. The natural fibers are expected to be very soft initially.
Poppers are difficult to fasten or unfasten
Check that the poppers are aligned correctly. If they feel stiff, a gentle flexing back and forth might help. Ensure no threads are caught in the mechanism.
Bodysuit loses shape after washing
Always lay the garment flat to dry. Reshape the garment gently while it is still damp. Avoid wringing or stretching the wet fabric.
