Product Information
Full details
This DILLING baby merino wool fleece one-piece suit in brown is designed for infants and toddlers aged 9-12 months, offering exceptional warmth and comfort for car seats and outdoor naps. Its key benefit is the natural temperature-regulating properties of merino wool combined with a plush fleece finish. A caveat to consider is that natural wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time due to wear and washing, though this does not impact its insulating capabilities. Key features include fold-over cuffs and feet for extra warmth, a practical full-zip for easy dressing, and an integrated hood for protection against the elements.

FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for baby clothing?
Merino wool is ideal because it's incredibly soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating. It keeps babies warm in cold weather and cool in warmer conditions, wicks away moisture, and is naturally odor-resistant.
How do the fold-over feet and mittens work?
The cuffs on the sleeves and legs have extra fabric that can be folded over to cover the feet and hands completely, providing extra warmth. They can be folded back to expose the feet and hands when more freedom is needed, such as for crawling.
Will the suit shrink if washed?
If washed according to the care instructions (wool cycle, 30°C, wool detergent, no tumble dry), the suit should not shrink. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, as these can cause shrinkage in wool.
Is this suit suitable for newborns?
This particular size is for 9-12 months. While the material is suitable for newborns, ensure you select the correct size for a proper and safe fit. Newborns require a snug but not tight fit.
How often should I wash this merino wool suit?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so it doesn't need washing after every wear. Airing it out between uses can often suffice. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the specific wool care instructions.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the suit?
It means the suit is made purely from merino wool without any synthetic fibers mixed in. This ensures the natural benefits of wool are maximized, but also means it behaves like a natural fiber, which can include some fraying with use.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too warm or baby is sweating.
Merino wool is breathable, but ensure you are layering appropriately. Remove a layer underneath if the weather is milder than expected. The suit's natural properties should prevent overheating if worn correctly.
Fraying noticed on the fabric.
This is a natural characteristic of unblended wool fleece due to wear and washing. It does not impact the warmth or performance of the suit. To minimize, follow care instructions closely and consider washing less frequently.
Difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure the zip is fully open and the legs and arms are correctly aligned. The full-length zip is designed for ease of use; if resistance is met, check for fabric caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This one-piece suit requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for babies and toddlers, suitable for wear in car seats, strollers, or as everyday outerwear in cooler climates.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid regular detergents or fabric softeners, which can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool.
- Pilling and Fraying: As a natural wool product, some pilling and fraying may occur over time with wear and washing. This is normal and does not affect the insulating properties of the wool. Gentle care will minimize this effect.
