Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece One-Piece in Grey (size 18-24) is designed for infants and crawling toddlers, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for car seats or outdoor naps. Its key benefit is the super-soft, brushed merino wool fleece that provides natural insulation. A potential caveat is that, as a natural material, the wool may change appearance or fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its insulating properties.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, genuine merino wool is known for its fine fibers, making it exceptionally soft and non-itchy, even for sensitive baby skin. The brushed fleece finish enhances this comfort.
How often should I wash this fleece suit?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or after heavy use. Frequent washing can be avoided by airing out the garment.
Can this be worn as outerwear?
It can be worn as an outer layer in mild weather or as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket in colder or wet conditions. The hood provides protection, but the material itself is not waterproof.
Why does the appearance of the wool change?
As an unblended, natural material, merino wool will naturally soften and may show signs of wear like gentle fraying or pilling over time with friction from movement and washing. This is a sign of its natural origin and does not compromise its thermal qualities.
What is the benefit of the ribbed cuffs?
The ribbed cuffs on the hands and feet are designed to provide a snug fit, preventing drafts from entering and keeping warmth securely inside the suit, ensuring better comfort and protection.
Is this suit suitable for sleeping?
Yes, the breathable and temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it a comfortable choice for sleeping, especially in cooler environments, provided the baby is not overheating.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems too warm or sweaty.
Merino wool is breathable; ensure the baby is not overdressed underneath and that the environmental temperature is appropriate. If the suit feels damp, it indicates the wool is doing its job wicking moisture.
Suit appears to be pilling or fraying.
This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool, especially during the initial wears and washes. It does not affect the wool's insulating properties. Gentle care and wool-specific detergents can help manage this.
Stiffness after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a wool wash cycle. Avoid high heat drying. Reshape while damp and dry flat in a well-ventilated area.
