FAQs
Is this bodysuit suitable for newborns?
The specific size mentioned is 18-24 months. DILLING offers this style in various sizes, so please check for availability in newborn or smaller infant sizes if needed.
How does the merino wool and silk blend perform in different weather?
The blend is naturally thermoregulating. It keeps your baby warm in cool conditions by trapping air and insulating, and it helps keep them cool in warmer conditions by wicking moisture away from the skin.
Can I use regular detergent to wash this bodysuit?
It is strongly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can be too harsh for merino wool and silk fibers, potentially damaging them and reducing their natural properties.
Why does the fabric stretch when worn?
Wool fibers have natural elasticity. The garment is designed to stretch for comfort and freedom of movement. This stretch is temporary and the fibers naturally contract after washing.
What is the 'pointelle' pattern?
Pointelle is a type of knitting that creates a delicate, openwork pattern. In this bodysuit, it adds a subtle decorative texture to the fabric.
How do the neck snaps work for dressing?
The snaps at the neck are designed to open up the neckline wider, making it easier to pull the bodysuit over your baby's head without discomfort.
Is this bodysuit machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C. However, it should not be tumble dried.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels stretched out after wear
This is normal for wool fibers. The fabric will contract back to its original shape after washing according to the care instructions.
Skin irritation or rash
Although rare, ensure the garment is washed according to instructions before first use. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Bodysuit loses softness after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners or harsh chemicals, which can strip natural oils from the wool.
