Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants who need comfortable, breathable, and temperature-regulating legwear. The key benefit is the 100% organic merino wool, which keeps babies warm in cold and cool in heat, while being exceptionally soft. A minor caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. These leggings feature a subtle rib knit and frilled edges, offering flexibility for active babies and a gentle feel on sensitive skin.

FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for all babies?
Merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and very soft, making it suitable for most babies, even those with sensitive skin. However, if your baby has a known severe wool allergy, consult with a pediatrician.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the natural temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They keep babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, considering your baby's current measurements and age. The leggings are designed to be stretchy, offering some flexibility within sizes.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, but only on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Hand washing is often recommended for longevity.
What makes merino wool better than regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them incredibly soft, less itchy, and more breathable. They also have excellent moisture-wicking properties.
Can I use fabric softener on these leggings?
No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can coat the merino wool fibers, reducing their natural properties like breathability and temperature regulation.
How should I store these leggings when not in use?
Store them folded in a breathable garment bag or drawer. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture. For long-term storage, consider adding cedar balls to deter moths.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
While merino wool is known for softness, ensure the care instructions are followed. Using a wool-specific detergent and proper washing can enhance softness. If irritation persists, test on a small patch of skin or consult a pediatrician.
Leggings lost shape after washing.
Ensure you are using the delicate wool cycle and appropriate detergent. Always lay flat to air dry, avoiding stretching or wringing. Gently reshape the garment while damp.
Color faded significantly.
Avoid washing with harsh detergents or in hot water. Air drying away from direct sunlight also helps preserve color. Consider washing with similar colors.
