Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants seeking comfortable, breathable, and adaptable legwear for everyday activities. Their key benefit is the use of soft, organic merino wool, which naturally regulates temperature and is gentle on sensitive skin. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. The leggings feature a flexible, no-itch design with a beautiful rib surface, a wide elasticated leg cuff, and a practical elastic waistband to ensure they stay in place during play and rest.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for a newborn?
Yes, the smallest size (0-3 months) is suitable for newborns. However, always check the specific size guide for measurements, as baby sizes can vary.
How do I know if the leggings are the right size?
The leggings should fit snugly around the waist and legs without being too tight or leaving deep marks. Refer to the DILLING size chart for precise measurements based on your baby's age and height.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for all seasons. They keep babies warm in winter and help prevent overheating in summer.
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses exceptionally fine and soft organic merino wool, which is specifically chosen for its non-itchy qualities, making it comfortable for sensitive baby skin.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Washing only when necessary (e.g., visible soiling or odor) helps preserve the fibers. Spot cleaning small stains can often suffice.
What detergent should I use for merino wool?
It is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates, which is pH-neutral and does not contain enzymes. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
Can these leggings be bleached or tumble dried?
No, bleaching and tumble drying can severely damage merino wool fibers, causing shrinkage, loss of elasticity, and damage to the material. Always follow the specific care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Leggings seem tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic waistband and cuffs should feel snug but not constricting. Merino wool does offer some stretch, but proper sizing is key.
Loss of shape after washing
Always follow the care instructions. Use a wool program with a low spin speed and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat and tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and loss of shape.
Baby seems too warm or too cold
While merino wool is thermoregulating, consider the overall outfit and environmental temperature. Ensure the leggings are paired with appropriate layers. If overheating, remove an outer layer. If too cold, add a warmer layer on top.
