Did you know . . . . ?

• Merino fibres create a microclimate around your baby’s body, controlling the flow of warm air and moisture to keep him warm in winter and cool in summer.  It’s like having his very own natural air conditioning system!

• Merino fibres breathe and prevent your baby from overheating (a risk factor associated with SIDS)

• Merino is silky soft and won’t itch or irritate your baby’s delicate skin

• Merino has a great memory (much better than ours!).  It is super stretchy and remembers what shape to return to after stretching

• Due to its temperature-regulating and non-irritant properties (see amazing facts 1-3 above), merino is suitable for most babies and children with skin allergies, including eczema

• Merino is naturally stain and odour repellent.  That’s good news for Mums as merino requires less washing and can often simply be aired between each wear

• Merino can absorb a third of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, preventing that clammy feeling on baby’s skin that comes with polyester-filled baby sleeping bags

• Even when merino gets wet, it stays warm so if your baby’s nappy leaks in the night, it won’t make him cold and uncomfortable

• Merino is naturally fire retardant, self-extinguishing and doesn’t melt.  It is one of the safest fibres you can dress your baby in

• Merino is a 100% natural, renewable and sustainable resource.  When you choose Bambino Merino for your baby, you’re not only caring for your baby, you’re caring for the environment too
