FAQs
Is the fabric suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton which is free from harmful chemicals, making it ideal for newborn skin.
Can I tumble dry this bodysuit?
It is recommended to follow the care label instructions; air drying is generally best for longevity and to protect the organic fibers.
What does GOTS certification mean?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures the entire supply chain, from growing the cotton to final assembly, meets strict environmental and social criteria.
Does the bodysuit shrink?
As with most cotton garments, some minor shrinkage can occur. Washing at 30°C and avoiding high-heat tumble drying will minimize this.
Is the appliqué safe for newborns?
Yes, the appliqué backing is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Product Class I) certified, ensuring it meets the highest safety standards for infant products.
Troubleshooting
Popper feels stiff or hard to open
Gently pull from the base of the popper rather than the fabric to prevent tearing, and ensure there is no lint caught in the mechanism.
Appliqué looks wrinkled after drying
Ensure the item was washed inside out. Iron on the reverse side on the lowest heat setting to smooth the fabric behind the appliqué.
