FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
No, DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool that is specifically chosen for its softness and non-itchy properties, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets. These pockets trap body heat when it's cold and allow heat and moisture to escape when it's warm, maintaining a comfortable temperature.
Can this onesie be worn year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
How much moisture can the wool absorb?
Merino wool can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture before it feels damp to the touch, helping to keep your baby's skin dry and comfortable.
What size should I choose if my baby is between sizes?
The onesie features adjustable cuffs and leg length. If your baby is between sizes, you might consider the larger size for extended wear, using the fold-over features.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin conditions like eczema?
Merino wool is known for being soft and breathable, which can be beneficial for babies with sensitive skin. However, if your baby has a specific skin condition, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but it must be on a wool or delicate cycle with cold water (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds and tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with merino wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softener. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. A gentle steam can help restore softness.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool naturally regulates temperature. If your baby is too warm, they may be overdressed or the ambient temperature is high. If too cold, ensure they have adequate layers for the conditions. The onesie itself is designed to adapt.
Shrinking after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a cold wool cycle (max 30°C) and strictly avoiding high heat during drying. Laying flat to dry is crucial.
