FAQs
What makes the wool/silk blend ideal for summer?
The wool and silk fibers are naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. This combination helps to keep the baby's skin dry and cool by allowing air circulation and drawing moisture away, while also providing a slight warmth if temperatures drop unexpectedly.
How do I know if the size 6-18 is correct for my baby?
This size is generally suitable for babies between 6 and 18 months old. However, baby sizes can vary. It's recommended to measure your baby's chest and length and compare it with the product's specific size chart if available, or consider your baby's current size and growth rate.
Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?
While designed for summer with short sleeves and legs, the wool/silk blend offers excellent thermoregulation. It can be used as a comfortable base layer in cooler seasons under warmer clothing, providing an extra layer of warmth without bulk.
Is the material itchy for a baby?
Merino wool, especially when blended with silk, is known for its softness and fineness. This blend is designed to be non-itchy and gentle on sensitive baby skin.
How often should I wash the bodysuit?
Wool and silk are naturally odor-resistant and don't require frequent washing. Washing after each use is not always necessary; airing it out can often suffice. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor develops, following the specific care instructions.
What does 'functional snap buttons' mean?
It refers to the snap buttons located at the bottom of the bodysuit, designed to make diaper changes easier and faster for parents. They allow access to the diaper area without needing to remove the entire garment.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels rough or loses softness.
This can happen if washed incorrectly. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding high temperatures or harsh washing cycles. Re-washing on a gentle cycle with the correct detergent may help restore softness.
Snaps are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the fabric around the snaps is lying flat. If they feel stiff, a few gentle uses should loosen them. Avoid forcing the snaps, which could damage the fabric.
Bodysuit shrinks after washing.
The bodysuit was likely exposed to excessive heat or agitation. Always follow the hand wash or gentle machine wash instructions and avoid tumble drying. If shrinkage has occurred, gently stretch the garment back to its original shape while damp.
