Product Information
Full details
This DILLING merino wool baby sleepsuit in grey (size 9-12 months) is designed for infants needing comfortable, all-season wear. Its key benefit is the natural thermoregulation of merino wool, keeping your baby warm in the cold and cool when it's warm. A potential caveat is that holes may appear at the toes over time due to wear and tear. The sleepsuit features easy nappy changes with poppers and an American neckline for flexible dressing.

FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING's merino wool is exceptionally fine and soft, designed to be gentle and non-itchy even on sensitive baby skin. Unlike coarser wools, merino fibers are smooth and flexible.
How do I wash the merino wool sleepsuit?
Machine wash on a wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Dry flat and do not tumble dry.
Can this sleepsuit be worn year-round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for all seasons. It keeps babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
What does the American neckline do?
The American neckline is designed with a wider opening that easily stretches, making it simpler and more comfortable to pull the sleepsuit on and off your baby, especially around the head.
How do the poppers help with nappy changes?
The poppers located between the legs allow you to open the bottom of the sleepsuit for quick and easy nappy changes without needing to remove the entire garment, which is convenient, especially during sleep.
What causes holes at the toes?
Holes at the toes are typically caused by normal wear and tear, especially if the baby crawls or walks a lot within the sleepsuit, leading to friction in that area over time.
Is this product suitable for newborns?
Yes, the soft material, comfortable fit, and easy-access features like the American neckline and poppers make it suitable for newborns and older infants.
Troubleshooting
Sleepsuit appears too large or too small.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your baby's measurements. Refer to the size chart for guidance. Merino wool has a close-fitting shape, so it should contour to the body without being restrictive.
Baby seems too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is thermoregulating. If the baby is too warm, ensure there are no additional layers underneath that are causing overheating. If too cold, add a thin layer of wool clothing underneath. The sleepsuit's effectiveness also depends on ambient room temperature.
Holes appearing at the toe.
This is noted as a potential wear and tear issue. To prolong the life, avoid excessive friction at the toes. If holes develop, they can sometimes be mended carefully with wool yarn.
Skin irritation.
While merino wool is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, very sensitive skin might react. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first use. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
