Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece One-Piece is designed for infants and toddlers (12-18 months) who need a soft, warm layer for car seats or outdoor naps. Its key benefit is superior natural warmth and comfort due to the merino wool's properties. A potential caveat is that the natural material may change appearance over time with wear and washing, though this doesn't affect its wool properties. Key features include its plush merino wool fleece, ribbed cuffs for a secure fit, a protective hood, and large, nature-toned buttons.

FAQs
Is this suit suitable for newborns?
This specific size (12-18 months) is intended for older infants and toddlers. DILLING offers other sizes suitable for newborns and younger infants.
How warm is merino wool in this suit?
Merino wool is naturally insulating and provides excellent warmth without being overly bulky. It also helps regulate body temperature, keeping the wearer comfortable in varying conditions.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, damaging its fibers and reducing its natural properties.
How often should I wash this suit?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't need to be washed after every use. Airing it out between wears can extend the time between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or if an odor persists.
Will the suit shrink if I wash it incorrectly?
Yes, improper washing (e.g., hot water, aggressive spin cycles, or tumble drying) can cause merino wool to shrink and felt. Always follow the care instructions for wool garments.
What does 'nature toned buttons' mean?
This refers to the color of the buttons, which are designed to complement the natural, earthy tones of the wool, adding to the garment's aesthetic.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is integrated into the design of the one-piece suit for maximum protection against the elements and is not detachable.
Troubleshooting
Suit seems to have lost its softness or shape after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a wool wash cycle at 30°C. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. Reshape while damp and dry flat. Natural wool can change slightly over time.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is breathable, but consider the outer weather and other layers. For very cold weather, add base layers; for milder weather, this suit might be sufficient on its own. Ensure correct sizing for optimal temperature regulation.
Fraying or pilling noticed on the fabric.
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool due to friction during wear and washing. It does not affect the wool's performance. Gentle handling during washing and drying can minimize this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for infants and toddlers aged 12-18 months. The unisex design and sizing make it compatible with most babies in this age range.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F) or less.
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Drying: Dry flat or on a hanger. Do not tumble dry.
