Full details

FAQs

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating. It keeps babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, while also being gentle on sensitive skin.

Is this sleepsuit suitable for newborns?

This specific variant is size 6-9 months. DILLING offers other sizes in their merino wool sleepsuit range that may be suitable for newborns, depending on their size.

How often should I wash the sleepsuit?

It's generally recommended to wash merino wool garments only when necessary, as frequent washing can reduce their lifespan. Airing out the garment can often suffice between washes.

Can I use fabric softener with this sleepsuit?

No, it is recommended to avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals as they can damage the merino wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.

What does 'organic' mean in the product description?

It means the merino wool is sourced from sheep raised under organic farming standards, ensuring no harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are used in the wool production process.

Why do holes appear at the toe?

Holes at the toe can occur over time due to natural wear and tear from movement and friction. This is a common characteristic of natural fiber garments that are used frequently.

Can this sleepsuit be worn as outerwear?

While highly comfortable, it is primarily designed as a base layer or for sleepwear due to its soft merino wool composition. For outdoor activities in colder weather, it would typically be worn under other protective layers.

Troubleshooting

Holes appearing at the toe

This is noted as a potential outcome of normal wear and tear for this product. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed to prolong the garment's life. Consider mending small holes if they occur.

Sleepsuit losing shape after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct washing cycle (wool program, low temperature). Always air dry by laying the garment flat, and avoid wringing or excessive agitation.

Baby seems too warm or too cold

Merino wool is temperature-regulating, but consider the overall layering. If the baby is too warm, remove additional layers. If too cold, ensure this sleepsuit is adequately layered underneath or with outer garments for very cold conditions.
