Firstly, the cool mesh is a lighter weight fabric weighing approximately 195 gsm (grams per square metre) and the midweight is heavier at approximately 265 gsm.  

Secondly, the fabric construction of the cool mesh is highly breathable, whereas the midweight is a double interlock construction.  

Although both fabrics are suitable for all seasons, due to the lighter weight and fabric constructions of the cool mesh, it is more suitable for warmer climates.

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

Garment made from midweight fabric

• Warm (22-26C) = Just nappy.
• Moderate (17-21C) = Singlet plus short sleeve lightweight onesie.
• Cool (12-16C) = Singlet plus lightweight full length onesie.

Garment made from lightweight "cool mesh" fabric:

• Warm (22C-26C) = 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 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.

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

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!
