Merino Wool keeps your baby cool...

Looking to keep your baby sleeping cool this summer?

Merino is Natures wonder fibre and is the safest fabric to dress your little one in - even on those hot summer nights!

This is why merino wool keeps your baby cool:

• Breathability - Merino wool fibres can absorb large quantities of moisture vapour and then transfer it through evaporation into the air, keeping babies skin fresher and drier for a longer time.
  
  
• Temperature regulation - Merino wool provides a personal 'air-conditioning' system to maintain temperature regulation through its natural crimp, which creates a lot of very small insulating air pockets. Result - cool babies even in hot weather!
  
  
• Odour resistance - Merino wool's breathability helps to reduce sweat and odour, keeping babies skin drier and cleaner. The fibre's complex chemical structure locks away odour only releasing it upon washing.

Why have baby sleeping in merino even when it's really hot?
Babies are not as adaptable as adults to temperature change. Because infants and children have a higher surface area to mass ratio than adults, they can lose heat rapidly, as much as four times more quickly than adults. This means that babies under 12 months have difficulty regulating their own temperature, even in a warm environment.

What should my baby be wearing when it's hot?
