A ‘real Mum’ and her two and a half year old son put one of our Three Bags Full tops to the test and rated it 4.5 out of 5. Here’s what she has to say:
My first instinct was to stroke it to my cheek – beautiful fabric, silky soft and luxurious to touch. The t-shirt itself was very well made; seams and hems finished nicely – no excess fabric or cotton threads. The colour was great, just right for a mucky little boy who adored the rocket motif on the front. Great website – very informative, enjoyed reading the blog and had no idea that Merino wool was so versatile. Excellent – extremely well made, nicely finished and looked a quality piece of clothing. Very practical for my little one, and although long sleeved – he did not mind wearing it on a warm day. Absolutely excellent – I’m a real convert to Merino wool. T-shirt kept its shape throughout the day and did not stretch out of proportion.

Somewhere between 18 months and 3 years of age most toddlers are ready to make the transition from a cot to a ‘big bed’. This may be for a practical reason, like having learned to climb out of her cot or to make way for a new baby, or it may just be that your little one is ready to take the next step towards growing up. Moving from the security of a cot to a grown up bed can be both an exciting and unsettling time for parents and children. Many children – even those who have previously been great sleepers – have difficulty going to sleep when the sleep cues they have become familiar with are no longer present.
If you’re moving your toddler in to a bed because you’re expecting another baby, most experts suggest you time the move 6-8 weeks before you are due so that the older child is well adjusted to their new bed before they see the new baby ‘taking over’ the cot.

Expert baby sleeping bag advice featuring Bambino Merino
The experts at Practical Parenting magazine have published their guide to baby sleeping bags in the latest issue (August). The five step checklist starts by making sure you have the right weight sleeping bag and suggests readers try a Bambino Merino baby sleeping bag. They say “a bag made from merino wool won’t have a tog rating but will naturally regulate your baby’s temperature – keeping her cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cold.”
It’s great to hear the message is getting out there – with our 100% natural baby sleeping bags you never have to worry about which tog (warmth rating) to buy. Let’s face it, with babies there are so many things to worry about but choosing a merino baby sleeping bag means you never have to worry if they are too hot or cold and there’s no possibility of overheating. Phew, that’s one less thing!
As the days and nights warm up here in the UK, we’re getting some funny looks when we recommend merino wool sleeping bags for babies at this time of year.
