Newborns, experts in shivering

Newborns, having just arrived in the world, cannot yet regulate their body temperature like we do. Their bodies constantly react to changes, expending a lot of energy. This is why hats and booties are essential from birth.

It takes approximately 18 months to 2 years for a child to learn to regulate their temperature naturally. Until then, merino wool clothing play an essential role. Its fine fiber insulates against the cold, but also prevents overheating in summer.

Merino wool vs. cotton and synthetics

Unlike cotton, which retains moisture, or synthetic materials that cause perspiration, merino wool naturally regulates temperature. It retains warmth in winter but allows air to circulate as soon as the temperature rises. This is a valuable asset for protecting a baby's delicate skin.
