FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
These leggings are designed for infants aged 6-9 months and older, as specified by the size. For newborns, please check the specific newborn sizing options available.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart, which typically correlates UK baby sizes with age ranges. Ensure the measurements for your baby's length and waist fit within the recommended range for the selected size.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is breathable and thermoregulating, making it suitable for year-round wear. It helps keep the baby cool in warmer temperatures by wicking away moisture and preventing overheating.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes if not visibly soiled. Follow care instructions for best results.
What makes merino wool better than cotton for baby clothes?
Merino wool is superior in its ability to regulate temperature, wick moisture, and remain soft even when wet. It's also naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant, unlike cotton.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can be too harsh and strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and performance.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, DILLING offers this style in various colors. Please check the product listings for available color options and sizes.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some rare sensitivities to fine wool exist; discontinue use if irritation persists.
Leggings have lost shape after washing
Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment while wet. Reshape gently while damp and lay flat. Avoid tumble drying.
Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose
Check the size guide carefully before purchase. The elastic is designed for a snug fit; if it consistently feels too tight or loose, ensure you have selected the correct size for your baby's current measurements.
Pilling on the fabric
Some minor pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with friction. This can often be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. Ensure proper washing techniques to minimize.
