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.
Why is temperature regulation so important for your baby?
Newborn babies do not have fully developed thermoregulation. This means that they cannot maintain their own body temperature the way adults do. This problem is most common in babies who are born prematurely or have a low birth weight, but even full-term babies can have trouble keeping themselves warm.
When a baby gets too cold, he has to use extra energy to warm up. This can lead to:
-
Low blood sugar levels
-
Reduced energy to drink properly
-
Weight loss
-
A vicious circle of further cooling
Merino wool helps prevent this problem by keeping your baby's body temperature stable, regardless of the ambient temperature.
What makes merino wool so special?
Merino wool is not just any wool; it is one of the most functional and luxurious materials you can choose for your baby. Some of the unique properties of merino wool are:
-
Excellent temperature regulation
Merino wool has natural thermoregulatory properties. This means that it keeps your baby warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The fibres can retain heat without your baby overheating. -
Breathable and moisture regulating
Merino wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling clammy. This prevents your baby from sweating and helps create a dry, comfortable environment. -
Soft and itch-free
Unlike regular wool, merino fibers are ultra-fine and soft, which means they don't cause irritation or itchiness, making them perfect for sensitive baby skin. -
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, which helps prevent skin irritations and allergies. -
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Merino wool is a biodegradable and renewable material, making it a sustainable choice for conscious parents.
