Rochelle was inspired to launch Bambino Merino following the unexpected premature birth of her son in 2005.
Aware of the dangers of overheating and concerned about the health of her special care baby, Rochelle quickly discovered that breathable natural fibres are preferable to synthetic alternatives. When dressed in garments containing polyester her son became sweaty, hot and uncomfortable. It was then Rochelle decided to create a range of natural baby sleeping bags and clothing – all made from breathable New Zealand merino wool.
Three years on, thousands of babies (and their parents!) in the UK and around the world are enjoying longer, safer, more restful sleep as a result.
Lightweight and silky soft, fine merino is perfectly suited to wearing next to delicate skin. Breathable natural fibres regulate body temperature, keeping baby comfortable, safe and warm - but never too hot - in all seasons. Reassuringly, it eliminates the constant worry over whether baby is too hot or cold.
More sleep and less worry are two valuable achievements for any parent!
All Bambino Merino garments have been created with baby’s comfort and Mum’s ease in mind. They are easy to care for (see our washing page for full details) and quick to dry. Inside labels have been positioned in side seams rather than at the neck so they won’t irritate delicate skin. Sleeping bags have been cleverly designed to grow with your baby, eliminating the need to buy numerous sizes and TOGs.
