Wool fleece overalls

Breathable natural fibres One of the most common concerns for new parents is what clothing and essentials a baby truly needs. From both an environmental and practical point of view, it is worth keeping things simple. In the beginning, less is enough. Many items can be added along the way as needed, and when buying new, it is wise to choose pieces that are durable and easy to pass on. It is also reassuring to remember that no single choice is likely to cause lasting harm, even if advice may sometimes feel conflicting. For example, a baby lying still in a pram does not yet need separate waterproof or windproof outerwear. These become useful closer to one year of age, as your baby becomes more active. A beautiful way to keep your baby warm outdoors is a fleece overall made from 100% organic merino wool. In cooler weather, the overall, with its fold-over sleeves and legs, can be layered over other wool garments. Later, booties and mittens made from the same material complete the outfit. This plastic-free merino wool fleece is highly breathable, making it suitable for use almost year round, including when travelling in a car seat.
