Because of the moving of the feet of the baby, pilling will occur the first times when wearing. This pilling stops after wearing several times.
Why merino wool for a baby?
* Merino wool is silky soft and does not itch, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin and very suitable for baby products.
* Merino wool is self-cleaning and odor-resistant thanks to the lanolin. When the lanolin gets a little damp, the lanolin is converted into lanolin soap which is a natural antibacterium. Since bacteria play a big role in sweat odor, you will stay smelling fresh. Also useful for milk odors. So you don't need to wash products with merino wool as often. The more often you wash, the less lanolin and therefore less protection.
* Merino wool is warm and moisture-regulating. Babies cannot yet regulate their own body temperature like adults can. The wool is perfect for both winter and summer. Merino wool creates a microclimate around your baby, keeping them at a constant temperature at all times. In summer, it absorbs water from your baby's skin. In winter, it absorbs cold air and circulates warm air, keeping your baby warm. With a constant appropriate temperature, baby is more likely to get deeper and restful sleep. Multiple studies have shown that babies who sleep in merino cry less, sleep longer, eat better and gain weight faster.
