Its key benefit is the natural thermoregulation and breathability of its organic merino wool and silk blend, making it suitable for both active play and sleep.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of merino wool and silk for baby clothing?
The blend offers exceptional softness, natural thermoregulation (keeping baby warm in the cold and cool in the heat), and breathability, which is ideal for sensitive baby skin and varying activity levels.
How do I know if the size 12-18 months is correct for my baby?
This size is generally suitable for babies between 12 and 18 months old, typically weighing between 20.5-24.5 lbs (9.3-11.1 kg) and standing 28.5-30.5 inches (72-77 cm) tall. It's always best to consult the brand's specific size chart for precise measurements.
Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?
Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk make it suitable for all seasons. It acts as a breathable base layer in warmer months and provides warmth without bulk in cooler temperatures.
How should I wash this bodysuit to maintain its quality?
It is recommended to machine wash on a wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Is the material itchy?
No, the organic merino wool and silk blend used is specifically chosen for its fine, soft fibres that are incredibly gentle and non-itchy against delicate skin.
What does 'close, but comfortable fit' mean?
It means the bodysuit is designed to fit snugly against the body to prevent heat loss and ensure it stays in place during movement, without being restrictive or tight. It allows for natural motion.
Does the colour 'Brown' fade easily?
With proper care following the washing instructions (using wool detergent, cold wash, avoiding direct sunlight when drying), the colour should remain vibrant. Merino wool dyes are generally colorfast.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size for your baby. The close fit is intentional for movement, but if it's causing discomfort, consider sizing up. Always check the size guide.
Material pilling or losing softness
Follow the specific care instructions closely. Use only wool-specific detergent, wash on a gentle wool cycle, and avoid high heat drying or harsh rubbing. Air drying is recommended for longevity.
Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the poppers are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel stiff initially, they may loosen slightly with use. Avoid forcing them.
