Premature and dysmature babies have one thing in common: they need extra help with temperature regulation. As a neonatal nurse, I explain the difference between the two groups, why warmth is so crucial for their development, and how merino wool and layering can help. This includes scientific evidence and practical tips for a safe, warm start.

As a parent, you want nothing more than the best for your baby. The first days and weeks after birth are crucial for the health and well-being of your child. One of the most important aspects during this period is keeping your baby warm . This is where merino wool can play an indispensable role. At Moalie we have a lot of merino wool items in our collection, and these are increasingly recommended by maternity nurses . And for good reason. Merino wool helps newborns to regulate their body temperature better, keeping them comfortable and safe. From my background as a neonatology nurse, I know how difficult it can be for a baby to maintain a good temperature and how important this is in the first few days. A low body temperature can have serious consequences: it affects blood sugar levels, makes a baby drink less well, leads to weight loss and can even cause a vicious circle of further cooling. In this blog you will discover why merino wool is the ideal choice for babies and how our merino wool wrap snuggle contributes to a healthy and safe start for your little one.
