Fire Safety

Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
- Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
- Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
- Close any zips before washing
- Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
- Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our extra fine Australian merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
18.5 micron fibres for incredible softness
Not all merino is created equal. The wool fibres in our all-natural merino fabrics are categorised as Extra Fine, with a diameter of 18.5 microns or less in our clothing range and 21.5 microns on our heavier hoodies.
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.
Clothing made for busy days
Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.
This garment is OEKO-TEX certified
The OEKO-TEX 100 Standard is a comprehensive set of criteria designed to ensure that textile products are free from harmful substances. It covers every stage of production, from raw materials to finished garments, and sets limits on the use of chemicals that could potentially pose risks to human health.
So soft, love the reinforced area around the snaps. It’s got fold over mittens. This has become a staple we put as the base layer under our baby’s clothes every day. Will be repurchasing as the next size up.
Beautiful colour and keep my bubba warm day and night. However I found cheaper merino bodysuit at the sleep store.
I LOVE the beautiful olive colour very very gorgeous and the INCREDIBLY AWESOME reinforced crotch domes is so smart and increases durability which I appreciate especially when merino is expensive. Generous size but no need to size up/down.
Thanks so much for your order and the lovely review Raquel! Great to see that you're happy with your merino goodies, if there's any feedback you have to make this 5 stars, please do let us know :)
These are the perfect body suits - soft, roomy and looks great. It keeps my 7 month old cool and wicks away moisture when he is in the carrier and we go hiking, and cozy and soft enough to be in all day.
Our favourite clothes, our LO pretty much wears these every day. They last, have a lovely stretch, keep her warm without overheating!
Love the colour ways on these bodysuits and leggings. The merino is thinner than other brands we have but doesn’t seem any less warm- very easy to layer under other clothing without adding bulk.
Great product
Protects face from little hands
Beautiful garment perfect for newborn
The merino long sleeve bodysuit is true to size and is very soft against the skin.
My baby loves it! She’s super warm in it
So soft, great quality. Keeps body warm during the winter.
My daughter who lives overseas wanted some merino baby wear. I'm glad I chose Babu. This bodysuit is great quality and a beautiful colour.
My boy has Eczema, so his skin is very sensitive to the fabric of his clothes. And babu merino is all thing he needs. It’s thick, warm, stylish and everything.
Softest feeling merino bodysuit, loving the denim blue with stripes!
Loving the stripes in the denim blue!! With the softest feeling merino!
Love it - gorgeous colour and keeps my baby warm
Amazing so warm!
We live in Canada we just went on our first hike and our son wore the merino goodies from Babu. Soo good! These will be so good for summer + winter adventures!
I’m now looking for some merinos pants and merino long sleeve zipper onesies to go with them as I think these will be perfect for all our adventures.
Lovely merino bodysuit. It is just gorgeous on my wee boy. Beautiful colours and fab quality.
The walnut stripe bodysuit is just gorgeous on my wee boy. Beautiful colours and quality and goes so nicely with the matching footed rompers. Great colour with navy blue, too. Fantastic and fast service from Babu as always! Thanks, team.
Best merino out there, silky soft and washes well!
We love our softest merino purchases for our grandson, 8 months. He had one from birth & his parents can’t rave enough about it. Plus they last for so long because of the stretch.
Great for sleep, for hiking in the backpack, travelling in the car seat. Super comfy & easy care!!!
Brought this for my prem low birthweight baby who needs extra help maintaining his body temperature and I really love the quality and fit. Sadly I only have two on constant rotate when they get peed on etc! Would happily buy another but hoping he will grow fast. Started dressing him in them at 2.1kg, a bit baggy but nice and snug with a knitted vest overtop
Such beautiful fabric and lovely colours. A great idea for staple baby shower gift
I am a repeat customer of the merino bodysuit as the quality is so good - the babies grow out of them long before they are worn out.
Very happy with the merino bodysuit. Best merino quality of all the baby ones we've tried, 190gsm so fabric is slightly heftier than other brands but just as soft, and washes well on the wool cycle. Quite generous sizing - note that size 2 is "year 2 going on 3." Even after years of wear, the fabric looks like new.
Great quality material, nice and cosy for my wee one. We love the cuffs to keep hands warm and the extra reinforcement where the domes are to prevent wear and tear.
My favourite merino for baby! Such a gorgeous fabric and beautiful colours too.
The fabric and designs of these garments are absolutely perfect. Soft and gentle for soft skin.
Beautiful material highly recommended! Size runs slightly large which is perfect for my big baby! Some other brands run small but not this one.
Such a great quality bodysuit. Washes well and feels so snug and soft on baby’s skin. Have bought several and are a bedtime staple!
Softest merino and such a lovely range of colours.
