FAQs

What is the main benefit of merino wool and silk for babies?

The blend offers superior softness, breathability, and natural thermoregulation, keeping the baby comfortable in both warm and cool conditions while being gentle on sensitive skin.

How do I wash this bodysuit to ensure it lasts?

Machine wash on a delicate wool cycle at 30°C with wool detergent. Do not tumble dry; air dry flat. Avoid fabric softeners.

Is this bodysuit suitable for all seasons?

Yes, its thermoregulating properties make it an excellent base layer year-round. It provides warmth in winter and helps wick moisture and stay breathable in summer.

Can I use a regular detergent to wash this item?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the fine fibers.

What does 'size 9-12' mean for this bodysuit?

This indicates the garment is designed to fit infants typically between the ages of 9 and 12 months. It's always best to check the specific size chart if available.

Are the poppers easy for parents to use?

Yes, the poppers at the neck and between the legs are designed for convenience, making dressing, undressing, and diaper changes as simple as possible for parents.

What makes this different from a standard cotton bodysuit?

Merino wool and silk are naturally thermoregulating, moisture-wicking, and breathable in a way cotton is not. They are also generally softer and less likely to cause irritation for sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Air dry flat and consider a very low-heat iron if needed.

Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Gently work the poppers a few times. Ensure the fabric around the poppers is flat and not bunched up. If a popper feels loose, contact customer support.

Baby seems uncomfortable or itchy

While merino wool is naturally soft, ensure the size is correct and there are no internal seams irritating the skin. Wash the garment once before first use to soften it further.
