Product Information

Full details

This DILLING long-sleeve bodysuit is designed for infants aged 12-18 months, offering unparalleled softness and comfort with its 100% organic merino wool construction. Its key benefit is natural thermoregulation and breathability, making it suitable for all-day wear during play or sleep. A potential caveat is the close, comfortable fit, which some parents might prefer looser for newborns. Key features include the use of fine, light merino wool, a flexible fit that doesn't restrict movement, and practical design elements like an American neckline and popper fastenings for easy changes.

FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for babies?

No, the organic merino wool used in this bodysuit is exceptionally fine and soft, specifically chosen to be non-itchy and gentle on delicate baby skin.

Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions.

How do I wash the merino wool bodysuit?

Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.

What does 'American neckline' mean?

An American neckline is a wide, envelope-style opening at the neck, designed to easily pull the garment on and off over a baby's head with more flexibility and room than a standard crew neck.

What is the best way to dry the bodysuit?

The best method is to lay the bodysuit flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the merino wool fibers.

Does the bodysuit restrict movement?

No, it's designed with a flexible and stretchy material that allows for a close but comfortable fit, ensuring your child's movements are not restricted during play or sleep.

What size should I choose?

This specific bodysuit is sized for 12-18 months. Refer to standard baby sizing charts and consider your child's current size for the best fit. The fit is close but comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bodysuit is designed for a close, comfortable fit, but if it feels too constricting, consider sizing up. Verify the poppers are fastened correctly.

Merino wool loses its softness or shape.

This can happen if washed or dried improperly. Always follow the specific care instructions: use a wool cycle, wool detergent, and avoid high heat drying. Lay flat to dry.

Baby appears too warm or too cold.

Merino wool is thermoregulating, but consider the overall layers. If your baby is too warm, remove an outer layer. If too cold, ensure adequate layering over the bodysuit. The bodysuit itself should help maintain a stable temperature.
