Sleepsuits


Merino WrapSOur merino wrap is superior to other wraps on the market because we have eliminated all the guess work and made it easy to use. Simply slip your baby’s feet into the pocket and wrap the flaps around your precious bundle. The soft merino stretches to form a snug fit around your little one making them feel safe and warm.

the beneFitS oF WrappingSwaddling (or wrapping) is used to help newborn babies remain sleeping on their back, which has been proven

to reduce occurrences of SIDS.

It helps soothe and settle a fussy baby, especially one that is colicky and irritable.

Newborn babies are not able to regulate their body temperature, so using natural merino to swaddle will help this.

And most importantly, evidence suggests swaddling helps babies sleep longer and more deeply with fewer incidents of waking and an increased ability to resettle themselves. Meaning everyone gets a better night sleep!

All our sleeping bags are made from 100% pure merino and soft cotton to ensure your baby sleeps in comfort all year round!

Feeling cold is one of the most commonly overlooked reasons for babies waking during the night. As they sleep, your baby’s body temperature lowers and if they have kicked off their bedding, they wake up and can wake the whole household.

uSing a babY Caterpillar Sleeping bag• Eliminates the need for extra covers

• Allows your baby to move and kick their legs without feeling constrained, while keeping warm and snug

• Ensures your baby’s head wont get covered by loose sheets or blankets, which lowers the risk factors associated with SIDS

• Allows for easy settling, night time comforting and feeding – you can pick baby up without disturbing and the bag will become a signal for sleep, so baby will drop off easier.

• Helps prevent adventurous babies from climbing out of their cots!

So What’S the right teMperature?The ideal room temperature for a baby is 18 degrees C (65F). With Baby Caterpillar sleeping bags you can select from either the heavy winter weight merino or lighter std/summer weight merino.

Like all our sleepwear essentials, our sleeping bags are 100% machine washable and can be tumbled dry.

Pajamas


hoW doeS Merino help Manage a Child’S MiCro environMent?The ability to absorb moisture is an important function of merino, but equally important is its ability to release moisture. In contrast to most synthetic fibres, merino has the capacity to remove large amounts of moisture from the skin surface before the merino even begins to feel wet. Merino can prevent the ‘clamminess’ that can occur.

WhY iS Merino iMportant For teMperature Control in babieS & toddlerS?babies - Unless the nighttime temperature is 24 degrees plus, then your newborn baby will either need several layers of clothing and bedding or natural body temperature regulating fabrics like merino. Using merino against the skin will ensure that when your baby needs the warmth (because they can’t regulate it themselves), then the properties of merino will retain and circulate the body heat. Likewise, when you put your baby to bed during

the day or early at night when the heat is still in the sun the merino properties will draw and release moisture away from the baby. Premature babies may also need an extra layer of clothing until their weight is more full term - merino is really the only fabric to use.toddlers - Like with babies merino is perfect for toddlers, especially ones who kick off their covers and blankets, then wake between 3-5am because they are cold. Our merino/cotton sleeping bags combined with merino pyjamas or sleepsuits work together to prevent this.

If merino hadn’t been invented by nature, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was invented by magic.

Unlike man-made fibre merino has the unique ability to manage and control temperature and moisture and is tailored for both comfort and health. This is especially important for newborn babies as they are not able to regulate their body temperature - using merino against the skin helps regulate this for them. And as it is a natural fibre, merino helps soothe and settle babies with sensitive skins.

And most importantly, because it helps regulate temperature, babies sleep longer and more deeply with fewer incidents of waking between 3-5am because they are cold - meaning everyone gets a better night sleep.
