We are a small New Zealand owned and operated business that delivers premium, natural merino baby sleepwear for all newborn babies. We're a team of innovative individuals, that just happen to be related. Our goal is to create quality, functional merino wool sleepwear for your baby.

Baby Caterpillar was launched in August 2007, when a need was seen in the newborn baby clothing market for better solutions to sleeping products, and it has now become a leading destination for online, quality baby merino shopping.

We aim to design only timeless pieces with simple silhouettes and functions, rather than passing trends. Through the years we have stayed true to our core values and while we work hard, every day we still love what we do.

A commitment to exceptional quality and excellence - striving for the best, each and every time.
Help educate new parents on the benefits of sleeping newborn babies in merino.

Support local - Make sure all our products continue to be designed and made in New Zealand, using, where possible, New Zealand suppliers.

Design all our sleepwear products to be simple yet functional
