Across the seasons.
We are often asked, “what is the best way to dress a baby so they are warm enough but not too warm!?"
Our answer is always: wool layers.
With the right breathable wool layers, your little ones will never be over or underdressed. Below we break down the benefits of wool, layer by lovely layer.
FIRST LAYER: MERINO BASELAYER
We recommend merino wool silk as a first layer for your baby.
Our SISKIN Robin Baby Body, Wren Baby Body, or Swallow Baby Body paired with our Finch Baby Leggings are amazingly soft and breathable. These merino silk baselayers are both insulating and temperature-regulating, keeping your baby warm when it is cool and cool when it is warm. These pieces are also perfect for sleeping in and great for all day, year-round wear!
To protect the merino layers from messy babies you can layer a simple cotton layer on top.
SECOND LAYER: MERINO MID-LAYER
As a mid-layer, merino wool trousers and wool cardigans & sweaters fit comfortably over baselayers, adding extra warmth in the mid-seasons and especially during the colder months.
FINAL LAYER: OUTERWEAR
Merino wool outerwear (read about merino wool fleece vs boiled wool outerwear HERE ) will keep your baby cosy and comfortable throughout the seasons.
100% Wool Clothing, especially the crimped fibres of Merino Wool, has the amazing ability to create tiny air pockets that trap warm air in cold weather and cool air in warm weather. Keeping your baby’s temperature regulated. SHOP BABY OUTERWEAR
ADD-ONS: BABY ACCESSORIES
Accessories are essential in the colder seasons. In the milder months, wool silk balaclavas and bonnets add the right amount of warmth, for the colder months, boiled wool or merino wool fleece accessories will keep your little one cosy and can also be layered over the lighter weight wool silk pieces for optimum cold weather protection.
