FAQs

Is this onesie suitable for newborns?

This specific item is listed for infants aged 12-18 months. For newborns, please check for DILLING's smaller-sized merino wool options.

Can this onesie be worn year-round?

Yes, due to the thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk, it is suitable for wear in all seasons. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions.

How do I know if the size is correct?

The size listed is 12-18 months. Please refer to DILLING's sizing chart for precise measurements related to chest circumference, height, and other dimensions to ensure the best fit for your child.

What makes merino wool and silk a good combination?

This blend combines the exceptional softness and temperature-regulating qualities of merino wool with the luxurious smoothness and slight sheen of silk. It enhances comfort and durability while being gentle on the skin.

Are the poppers safe for baby skin?

Yes, the poppers used are typically nickel-free and designed to be safe for sensitive baby skin. They are positioned for ease of use without causing irritation.

Does the onesie have feet?

No, this onesie does not have enclosed feet. This design offers flexibility and allows for the use of separate socks or booties if desired.

How often should I wash this garment?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't need to be washed after every single use. Wash when visibly soiled or when it no longer feels fresh, following the care instructions carefully to preserve the fibers.

Troubleshooting

Garment loses shape after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a delicate cycle. Avoid high spin speeds. Lay flat to dry instead of hanging, as hanging can stretch the wet fibers.

Skin irritation despite natural materials

While rare, ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed after washing to remove any detergent residue. It's also recommended to wash the garment before the first wear.

Pilling or snagging of fabric

Merino wool can naturally pill over time with friction. Minimize rough surfaces during wear and wash. Gently remove any small pills with a wool comb. Be mindful of sharp objects that could snag the fine fibers.
