FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for babies?

DILLING uses fine merino wool specifically chosen for its softness. Unlike coarser wools, merino wool fibers are very fine and smooth, making them feel soft and non-itchy against sensitive skin. The blend with silk further enhances the softness.

Can this bodysuit be worn all year round?

While designed as a summer bodysuit, the unique properties of merino wool and silk allow it to be worn year-round. It helps regulate temperature, keeping babies cool in summer and warm in cooler conditions, making it a versatile garment.

How do I best care for the wool and silk blend?

It's best to machine wash on a delicate wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent, or hand wash. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Always dry flat, away from direct heat, and reshape while damp.

What does 'organic' mean for this product?

The 'organic' label signifies that the wool and silk used are produced without harmful chemicals or pesticides, adhering to strict environmental and ethical standards throughout the supply chain.

Are there other colors available?

This specific product listing is for the Blue color. Please check other product listings for DILLING baby bodysuits, as other colors may be available for different styles or seasons.

What is the purpose of the popper fastenings?

The popper fastenings at the bottom are designed for convenience. They allow for quick and easy diaper changes without needing to remove the entire bodysuit, simplifying dressing and undressing routines for parents and babies.

How does the blend of wool and silk benefit my baby?

The combination of merino wool and silk offers enhanced benefits. Wool provides excellent temperature regulation and moisture-wicking, while silk adds smoothness, durability, and a luxurious feel against the skin. Together, they create a highly comfortable and breathable fabric.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit loses shape after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool wash cycle. Always dry flat and reshape the garment while damp. Avoid high heat drying or wringing.

Baby seems uncomfortable or itchy

While merino wool is known for its softness, ensure the size is correct. Some babies may have specific sensitivities; try wearing it over a thin cotton layer if irritation persists. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing to remove detergent residue.

Material pilling

Some minor pilling is natural with wool and silk blends over time due to friction. This does not affect the garment's performance. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid excessive rubbing against rough surfaces.
