It's so easy!  Follow these steps - 

Step 1:  Lay Merineo on a flat surface, open zipper and lay baby on it's back in the Merineo.

Step 2:  Swaddle baby using the wings.

Step 3:  Tuck wings underneath baby.

Step 4:  Zip up the Merineo.

This design is perfect for babies who are about to roll over (which generally occurs at 6 months of age).  Baby can have arms in or out.

Step 1: Start with opening zipper and laying the Merineo on a flat surface.  Lay baby flat on it's back in the Merineo.  

Step 2: 

          Arms In:  Close press studs on armholes so baby's arms are snug inside the Merineo,

          Arms Out:  Open press studs and place baby's arms through armholes.  You may prefer to transition baby to arms out by placing one arm out at a time.

Step 3:   Close zipper so baby is snug and secure in your Merineo and ready for sleep!

Notes:

Ensure baby's arms are free before baby can roll over (which occurs for many babies at around 6 months of age), and

Once baby outgrows this suit, transition baby to Merineo's Toddler Sleeping Bag.

Open zipper and lay your Merineo on a flat surface.  Lie baby flat on it's back in the Merineo and do up the zipper.

This sleeping bag has a press stud on each armhole.  As baby grows into a toddler, undo both press studs. 

A great solution for a growing toddler!

When using your Merineo newborn swaddling bag, we suggest using these guidelines when dressing your baby for these room temperatures:

Warm (22C plus) = Just nappy.

Moderate (17-21C) = Singlet plus short sleeve lightweight onesie.

Cool (12-16C) = Singlet plus lightweight full length onesie.

If you are using a 'cool soft mesh' fabric Merineo swaddling bag, we suggest:

Warm (22C plus) = Just nappy.

Moderate (17-21C) = Singlet plus short sleeve onesie.

Cool (12-16C) = Singlet plus full length onesie.

The carer is responsible for dressing baby or toddler for sleep and should take into account not only room temperature, but baby's overall health, and the type of clothing and mattress the baby is sleeping in and on.

No way!  We only use the best quality superfine merino wool.  It's soft to touch and most people who feel our garments are amazed that it's wool.  

"Superfine" merino fabric means means exactly that - Super Fine - with fine fibres, not coarse or prickly. It's soft to touch with luxurious next to skin comfort.  

We want you and your baby to have the best possibly experience with wool so we have chosen fabric that you will love!

We recommend choosing a Merineo based on baby's weight (rather than age) if baby is not within the 50th percentile.  

These are the sizes in our current range -

2.5 - 4 kg : 0 - 2 months old : Newborn swaddling bag for preemies and small babies

3 - 5 kg : 0 - 2 months old : Newborn swaddling bag

5 - 8 kg:  2 - 6 months : Arms In or Out baby sleeping bag

8 - 12 kg: 6 months - 2 years:  Toddler sleeping bag

Not yet, but let us know if you want one!

Your Merineo is machine washable.  We recommend using the wool cycle on your machine, or a delicate cold wash.  Use an approved wool detergent.  

Wool has anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties, meaning you won't need to wash it as often as non-wool products. 

Using a cool or cold wash and washing a garment less, helps look after our environment.  You're eco-fabulous! 

Yes!  Merineo uses 100% superfine merino wool in all garments.  Wool is a natural, sustainable and biodegradable fibre, grown by sheep.
