FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, fine merino wool, especially when blended with silk, is known for its softness and is generally not itchy, even for sensitive baby skin.
Can I use this bodysuit in the summer?
Yes, the blend of merino wool and silk is light and airy, often called 'summer wool,' making it suitable for warmer weather as well as cooler days due to its natural temperature-regulating properties.
How often should I wash the bodysuit?
Wash only when necessary. Wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to some extent. Airing out the garment can often refresh it between washes.
What is the benefit of the sleeveless design?
The sleeveless design prevents bunching and restriction under other clothing, making it an ideal, comfortable base layer.
Does the bodysuit shrink?
If washed and dried according to the care instructions (30°C delicate/wool cycle, no tumble dry), the bodysuit should not shrink.
What does 'Merino Wool/Silk' mean for my baby?
It means the garment combines the breathable, temperature-regulating qualities of merino wool with the exceptional softness and lightness of silk, providing superior comfort and a gentle feel on the skin.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with wool. Re-wash on a wool cycle with wool detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid fabric softeners which can degrade wool fibers.
Baby seems cold in the bodysuit.
While the wool-silk blend offers excellent insulation, the sleeveless design may require an additional layer, such as a long-sleeved top or a thicker outer garment, in very cold temperatures.
Popper fastenings are difficult to open.
Ensure you are opening the poppers correctly by pushing them apart from the sides. If they remain stiff, they may loosen slightly with continued use.
