FAQs

What makes this bodysuit suitable for sensitive skin?

The bodysuit is made from a blend of organic merino wool and silk. These natural fibers are incredibly fine and soft, with hypoallergenic properties that minimize irritation for delicate and sensitive skin.

How does the thermoregulation feature work?

Merino wool has a unique fiber structure that can trap air, providing insulation in cold conditions. It also has the ability to wick moisture away from the skin and release it, which helps to keep the baby cool and dry in warmer conditions.

Can this bodysuit be worn all year round?

Yes, due to its thermoregulating and breathable properties, this bodysuit is designed to be comfortable in various temperatures, making it suitable for all seasons as a base layer.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. Given the flexible fit, a slightly larger size can offer more wear time, but it should not be excessively loose to maintain its thermal and comfort benefits.

Is it machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle (wool program) at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. However, hand washing is often recommended for longevity.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The addition of silk enhances the softness and smoothness of the fabric, making it feel even more luxurious against the skin. It also contributes to the garment's breathability and drape.

How often should I wash this bodysuit?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing out the garment between uses can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or necessary, following the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels rough or stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softeners. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat drying.

Poppers are difficult to close or open.

Check that the fabric around the poppers is not bunched. Ensure poppers are properly aligned before fastening. If new, they may require a little more pressure initially.

Garment has lost its shape.

Reshape the bodysuit gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Merino wool has natural elasticity, but aggressive washing or drying can affect its shape.

Baby feels too warm or too cold.

Adjust the layers accordingly. While the bodysuit is thermoregulating, external conditions and other clothing layers play a role. Check the baby's core temperature (nape of the neck) rather than hands or feet.
