Yes — and that is exactly why we designed it. V
Many hats are too large for a newborn, allowing warmth to escape through the open space beneath the edge.
This hat fits well from birth, even for babies around 2 kilograms. The wide brim is adjustable, ensuring the head is always well covered.
Wool or hand wash program, max. 30°C. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat on a towel. Airing after use is almost always sufficient — merino wool is naturally self-cleaning.
Note: The hat does not need to be washed beforehand.
A true wool allergy is rare. What people often experience as an allergy is irritation caused by coarse wool fibers.
Merinowool has a much finer fiber and does not cause that irritation.
If a lanolin allergy is diagnosed, we recommend consulting a doctor.
Daniëlle Kempers, neonatal nurse
"In neonatology, I still see it: babies weighing two kilos wearing a hat that slips down over their eyes. A hat that doesn’t fit doesn’t protect — it lets heat escape exactly where you don’t want it to. This hat fits well from 2 kilograms. That’s not a detail. That’s the point."
Over dit mutsje

The classic fit with knitted ties fits snugly around the face and protects against cold and drafts, without causing the skin to sweat.
The timeless beige shade is unisex and combines effortlessly with all Moalie items.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't merino wool too warm for my baby?
No. Merino wool breathes and adjusts to body temperature — your baby will always stay comfortable, even in warmer rooms.
Does merino wool itch?
The fine fibers of merino wool are much softer than regular wool. It feels soft and supple, even on the most sensitive baby skin.
Can I also use the bonnet outside?
Yes. Thanks to its natural insulation, the Zoë bonnet is suitable for every season — from crisp spring mornings to cold winter days.

Why the material makes a difference for your baby
From the NICU to your baby's nursery
"Every time I see a hat that slips over the eyes, I think: this could have been done better."
After 28 years in the NICU, I see it again and again: newborns wearing hats that are too big.
A hat that doesn’t fit doesn’t protect — warmth escapes exactly where you don’t want it to.
This is especially true for babies weighing 2 kilos. They don’t need a hat that looks cute. They need a hat that stays in place.
That difference is the only reason this hat exists.
