Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Terry One-Piece is designed for infants needing a comfortable and regulating mid-layer. Its key benefit is keeping your child warm and comfortable in various temperatures due to the natural properties of merino wool. A potential consideration is that the wool terry is a thicker quality, making it best suited as a mid-layer rather than a primary outer layer in very mild conditions.

FAQs
What is wool terry and why is it used?
Wool terry is a slightly thicker knit of merino wool, designed to be extra soft and comfortable on the inside. It provides more warmth and is particularly well-suited for mid-layer garments.
Is merino wool suitable for sensitive baby skin?
Yes, DILLING uses 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness, breathability, and natural hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
How often should I wash this one-piece?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or after a few wears, following the care instructions.
Can this be worn as outerwear?
This one-piece is designed as a mid-layer. While it offers warmth, it is not waterproof or windproof, so it's best worn under a protective outer layer in adverse weather conditions.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for a baby?
It means the merino wool fibers naturally adjust to your baby's body temperature. They help keep your baby warm by trapping air when it's cold and wick away moisture to help keep them cool when it's warm, preventing overheating.
Does the zip pose a risk to the baby?
The zip is designed for ease of use. It is typically placed along the leg and covered to prevent direct contact with the baby's skin.
How do I know what size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, which usually specifies measurements or age ranges. For this specific item, the size is 12-18 months.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. High-quality merino wool is typically very soft, so itchiness may indicate residue from non-wool-friendly detergents.
Shrinking after washing
Always wash on a cool cycle (max 30-40°C) and avoid high heat drying. Lay flat to dry. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gently stretch the fabric while damp.
Zipper is stiff
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of wax (like a candle) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.
