FAQs
What is the main benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?
The blend offers exceptional softness and is highly effective at regulating body temperature, keeping your baby comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. It's also naturally breathable and gentle on sensitive skin.
Can this onesie be worn year-round?
Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in colder weather and breathability in warmer temperatures.
How do I properly wash the onesie?
Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry.
Does the onesie have enclosed feet?
No, this onesie does not have enclosed feet. It features flexible cuffs at the ankles, similar to the wrists, allowing for more freedom and accommodating different leg lengths.
What makes the fit 'close but comfortable'?
The design aims to be snug enough to stay in place and provide warmth without being constrictive. It allows for ample movement for crawling, playing, and sleeping.
Is this garment suitable for newborns?
Yes, the softness and temperature-regulating qualities are ideal for newborns. Ensure you select the appropriate size (e.g., 0-3 months) for a proper fit.
Why are there poppers on the shoulder as well as between the legs?
The shoulder poppers provide an extra wide opening, making it easier to put on and take off the onesie, especially over a baby's head. The leg poppers are for convenient diaper access.
Troubleshooting
Onesie feels itchy.
Ensure you are using a merino wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. High-quality merino wool should feel soft, but initial washes can sometimes improve texture.
Garment has shrunk.
This can happen if the onesie was washed or dried at too high a temperature. Hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry. Future washes should strictly adhere to the 30°C wool cycle.
Popper closures are difficult to fasten/unfasten.
Ensure the poppers are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel stiff, gently work them back and forth a few times. Avoid forcing them, which could damage the fabric around the poppers.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
While merino wool is thermoregulating, consider the overall layering. If too warm, remove an extra layer. If too cold, add socks or a thicker outer layer. Ensure the onesie is the correct size and fits comfortably, not too tight or too loose.
