Merino Wool Baby Nightgown for the Perfect Summer Slumber

We really don't mean to brag, but we honestly believe (because we have been told time and time again) that our baby nightgowns will be your favorite newborn essential, and they are so well made that you will be passing them down from baby to baby, family to family.

• Lightweight | 100% pure merino | 150-170gsm
  
• Suitable to wear in Spring/Summer and all-year-round with suitable clothing alterations.  Summer Merino is ultra light weight - it weighs less than cotton
  
• Warmth is similar to 1.5 - 2 TOG rating

• Beautiful soft & stretchy merino
  
• Soft to wear against delicate skin
• Durable but not bulky, so ideal for layering
• Easy care | Machine washable using a wool wash
• 100% made in New Zealand.

• All our merino wool baby clothing is designed and made to be a generous fit.
• Our newborn size bodysuits are made to fit from birth - therefore they are smaller in size - so they fit tight against newborn skin (which will help the merino work better to regulate temperature)

Looking after pure merino wool is not as hard as you think, just follow a few simple rules

DO | feel free to wash your merino in the washing machine on a gentle wool wash cycle.

DO | hand wash your merino if you want to be extra safe and extend the life even more.

DO | make sure you only use a wool approved detergent.

DO | tumble dry your merino on a low heat setting.

DO | remember merino dries fast, so it is quick and easy to line dry your merino, just keep it away from direct sunlight

DON'T | wash your merino at a temperature higher than 40 degrees C.

DON'T | forget to remove your merino from the wash immediately, and never leave to soak as this WILL RESULT IN HOLES.

DON'T | use bleach or NapiSan as this WILL RESULT IN HOLES.

DON'T | rub and/or wring out your merino to remove stains as this WILL RESULT IN HOLES.
