Full details
These DILLING leggings are designed for infants, offering exceptional comfort and natural temperature regulation thanks to their blend of organic merino wool and silk.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
Yes, the smallest size (0-3 months) is suitable for newborns, provided the fit is appropriate. Always check the size guide for the best fit.
How often should I wash these leggings?
It's recommended to wash them after each use or when visibly dirty. Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties, so airing them out can sometimes suffice between washes.
Can I use regular detergent?
No, it is crucial to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, damaging the fibers and reducing their insulating properties.
Why is the blend of merino wool and silk beneficial?
The silk adds extra softness and a smooth feel to the merino wool, enhancing comfort and breathability. It also contributes to the garment's luxurious feel and durability.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for my baby?
It means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. It wicks away moisture when your baby is warm, keeping them cool, and traps air to provide warmth when they are cold.
How do I check if I have the right size?
The leggings should fit comfortably around the waist and legs without being too tight or too loose. They should allow for full movement. Refer to the DILLING size chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Leggings appear to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific wash cycle at 30°C and a gentle wool detergent. Avoid high heat drying; always lay flat to dry.
Baby seems too warm or too cold
Merino wool is temperature regulating, but consider the overall outfit and room temperature. Adjust other layers as needed. These leggings are breathable but provide insulation.
Skin irritation despite natural fibers
While rare, ensure the care instructions are followed precisely, as residual detergent can sometimes cause irritation. Try re-washing with a wool-safe detergent and rinsing thoroughly.
