FAQs

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is excellent for babies because it's naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating. It keeps babies warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather by wicking moisture away from the skin. It's also naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.

Why is the one-piece designed without feet?

The footless design provides babies with more freedom of movement, which is essential for crawling, cruising, and exploring. It prevents the garment from restricting their natural motion and allows them to feel the ground or surface they are on.

How do I ensure the best fit for my baby?

Refer to the size guide and measure your baby's height and weight. The one-piece should fit snugly but not be tight. Check that the arms and legs are not constricted and that the neckline sits comfortably.

Can this one-piece be worn year-round?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round use. It functions as a comfortable base layer in cooler months and a breathable layer in warmer conditions.

How often should I wash this merino wool garment?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Often, airing it out is sufficient. Wash only when visibly soiled or when a specific odor persists, following the gentle care instructions.

What is the benefit of the expandable neckline?

The American closure with shoulder overlap allows you to widen the neckline significantly. This is particularly useful for quick changes if an accident occurs outside the diaper, as you can pull the garment down over the shoulders instead of over the baby's head.

Troubleshooting

Garment seems to have shrunk after washing

Merino wool can sometimes shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle, cool water, and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid machine drying. If shrinkage is significant, try gently stretching the garment while damp and laying it flat to dry.

Baby seems too warm or too cold

Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, but the overall comfort depends on the environment and other layers. If baby is too warm, remove an outer layer or ensure the room is not excessively hot. If too cold, add a light layer on top or ensure the one-piece is snugly fitted.

Snaps are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the snaps are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel stiff initially, this may ease with use. Avoid forcing the snaps, which could damage them. Clean around the snaps if dirt or debris is causing resistance.
