Baby Merino Wool Dress with Ruffles - Grey - 3-5

Merino wool is excellent for babies because it's naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm), and moisture-wicking. It's also hypoallergenic and odour-resistant.

Merino wool is adaptable. It provides warmth in cooler weather and is breathable enough for milder temperatures. However, for very hot summer days, lighter, non-wool options might be preferred.

The product information explicitly states it is not intended for sleepwear. This is likely due to design or safety considerations for garments meant to be worn during sleep.

The size 3-5 typically refers to a UK baby/children's sizing range. It's best to consult a sizing chart provided by DILLING or the retailer, or compare with your child's current measurements for the most accurate fit.

Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Airing the garment out between wears is often sufficient. Wash only when necessary, using a gentle wool cycle and appropriate detergent.

Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates finer, softer fibers, resulting in a less itchy and more comfortable garment, especially for sensitive baby skin.

Ensure you are using a high-quality merino wool product. Fine micron wool, like the 18.5 micron used here, is typically very soft. Proper washing with wool detergent can also help maintain softness. Airing out the garment can refresh the fibers.

Always follow the care instructions, especially laying flat to dry and using a wool wash program. Avoid harsh spinning cycles or tumble drying, which can damage wool fibers.

Some minor pilling is natural with wool garments, especially when new. This can often be managed by gently removing pills with a wool comb or defuzzer. Proper washing and handling will minimize pilling over time.
