A little while ago I was sent a very nice parcel from the good people over at Delicate Dream, an online shop specialising in Merino wool baby clothes. In the nice parcel was two pieces of clothing - a kimono style body suit, and a sleepsuit.
Kimono style body suit - £15.50 (currently on sale for £11.49)
This was great just as we were heading into Winter. The body suit is made from merino wool, making it VERY soft on the baby's skin, and very gentle. I really liked that these had scratch mitts built in, you don't often see that in a vest. That meant that if you dressed your baby in 'normal' clothes, you'd still have scratch mitts that won't fall off (for baby #2, I won't be buying so much as 1 scratch mitt - I'll be buying clothes that have them built in!). Having the kimoni style fastenings, instead of it being over the head was great too - Squidge isn't a fan of 'over the head' clothes, so this was welcomed relief. Mind you, at the moment he's desperately not a fan of having sleeves put on, everything else he tolerates, but sleeves... oh no.
Merino wool sleepsuit - £23
Ok, so price-wise this is certainly a treat piece, or a lovely gift for an expectant friend or family member. It's beautifully soft and has the embroidered logo of a little sheep. It does up like a normal sleepsuit with poppers down the middle in a Y shape. The merino wool is great at helping the baby keep a decent temperature too so they're not too warm and not too cold, and again lets not forget just how soft merino wool is against the skin, perfect for babies.
These were both in size 'up to 3 months' and fitted him for a good few weeks. Like most baby clothes, I try to put him in them when they're a little bit too big, and don't move him up to the next size until they're starting to get small - so 4-6 weeks is about what we're averaging for baby clothes at the moment and these met that.
They really were beautiful quality and lasted well - good quality products are never cheap, which is what makes these a lovely gift or treat.
