The merino wool baby waistcoat plays this role: it covers the chest and arms without constricting, is worn over a bodysuit or sleepsuit, and naturally finds its place in the hospital bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waistcoat is worn from the first days. The cardigan takes over as baby grows: its front opening allows it to be put on without going over the head, buttoned or left open, then removed if the temperature rises. The sweater then completes the wardrobe through the first months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together five house designs: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/newborn-essentials-cardigan-merino-wool-zouzou\"\u003eBaby waistcoat - Zouzou\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/newborn-essentials-cardigan-merino-wool-zazou\"\u003eBaby waistcoat - Zazou\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/newborn-essentials-cardigan-merino-wool-dadou\"\u003eBaby waistcoat - Dadou\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/baby-cardigan-merino-wool-tichat\"\u003eBaby cardigan - Tichat\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/baby-sweater-merino-wool-patou\"\u003eBaby sweater - Patou\u003c\/a\u003e.

It also absorbs moisture and helps limit that clammy feeling. These properties make it particularly suited to newborn essentials and clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Superwash treatment allows machine washing at 30°C maximum, on a wool or delicate cycle, ideally in a laundry bag. Dry flat, away from a heat source and never in a tumble dryer. Ironing is generally unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eManufacturing traced from the Creuse to Île-de-France\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Mistricotine waistcoat, cardigan and sweater is made in France, from spinning to the last button. Knitting and making-up are carried out in Île-de-France by workshops specialising in knitwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHats and booties are hand-knitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilding an evolving set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewborn essentials don't have to be in a single size. Baby grows fast: planning two sizes spreads the use of clothing from the maternity stay through the first months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waistcoat naturally finds its place in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/hospital-bag-checklist\"\u003ehospital bag\u003c\/a\u003e: light and easy to put on, it adds an extra layer without weighing down the outfit. The cardigan then completes a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/newborn-essentials-jumpsuit-trouser\"\u003ejumpsuit\u003c\/a\u003e, trousers or a romper. The sweater accompanies baby as they grow, depending on the season and temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection's colours — ecru, pink, blue, green, beige — pair easily with each other and with the rest of the layette.

For a full-term birth, size 1 month corresponds to approximately 54 cm and 4 kg. Size 3 months corresponds to approximately 60 cm and 5 to 6 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a premature baby, preemie size 00 corresponds to approximately 40 to 45 cm and 1.8 to 2.5 kg.

This practical fastening avoids pulling the garment over the newborn's head: you lay baby on the open cardigan, slip the arms into the sleeves, and button it up. The movements stay gentle, with no abrupt handling. The generously covering cut wraps the torso down to the hips; jersey and garter stitch — two stable knits, neither too tight nor too loose — hold the shape without compressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA fine merino wool that breathes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fine merino wool we knit is spun by the Fonty mill, located in the Creuse and awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label.
