Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants needing comfortable, temperature-regulating base layers. Their key benefit is the use of 100% organic merino wool, which is soft, breathable, and naturally adapts to the baby's body temperature, making them suitable for both active play and sleep. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its quality and longevity.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
These leggings are sized for infants, with the specific model being size 12-18 months. DILLING offers other sizes suitable for newborns and younger infants.
Can my baby wear these year-round?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They keep babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicates. These are formulated to be gentle on natural fibers and avoid harsh chemicals that can damage merino wool.
Will these leggings restrict my baby's movement?
No, the leggings are designed with a close but comfortable fit to allow for unrestricted movement, perfect for active babies who are crawling or learning to walk.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict organic farming standards, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in the wool production process.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, meaning it often doesn't need washing after every wear. Airing them out between wears can extend their freshness. Wash when they appear soiled or after significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Organic merino wool is typically very soft, so itchiness may indicate detergent residue.
Garment has lost shape after washing
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat and agitation. Always wash on a delicate wool cycle at low temperatures and reshape while damp before laying flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
The elastic waistband is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight, ensure you have selected the correct size based on the baby's age and measurements. If it feels loose over time, check care instructions for potential stretching due to improper washing.
