FAQs

Is this bodysuit suitable for newborns?

This specific size is for 6-18 months. DILLING offers other sizes for newborns and older infants. Always check the size guide for the best fit.

Can I machine wash this bodysuit?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Hand washing is recommended for maximum care.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The silk blend adds extra smoothness and a luxurious feel to the merino wool, enhancing comfort and making the fabric even gentler on sensitive skin.

How does merino wool keep my baby comfortable?

Merino wool has natural thermoregulating properties. It helps insulate your baby in cooler temperatures and allows heat to escape in warmer conditions, maintaining a comfortable body temperature.

How often should I wash this bodysuit?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash only when necessary, preferably by hand or on a gentle cycle, to preserve the fibers.

Will this bodysuit shrink if washed or dried incorrectly?

Yes, improper washing or tumble drying can cause merino wool to shrink. Always follow the gentle care instructions, especially avoiding high heat and tumble drying.

What other colors or sizes are available?

This particular item is in Pink for size 6-18 months. The DILLING brand offers similar bodysuits in various colors and sizes for different age groups.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels stiff after washing.

This can happen with natural fibers. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Gently re-shape the garment while damp and air dry flat. A low-heat iron with a damp cloth can help restore softness.

Baby seems too warm or too cool.

While merino wool is thermoregulating, consider the overall layering. If too warm, remove an outer layer. If too cool, add a thin outer layer. Ensure the bodysuit is the correct size for a snug, effective fit.

Popper fastenings are difficult to close.

Ensure the fabric around the poppers is aligned correctly. If they feel stiff initially, they may loosen slightly with a few uses. Avoid excessive force.

Skin irritation despite being natural fibers.

Although rare, some individuals can be sensitive to even natural fibers. Ensure the garment is clean and that no irritating laundry products were used. Wash the garment again with a mild detergent.
