No — and this is exactly why merino wool is different from other wool. It naturally regulates body temperature: in summer, it dissipates heat instead of retaining it. Your baby won’t overheat. One outfit, all year round.
A (woolen) romper is usually sufficient.
Layering works best — this way you can easily adjust to the temperature.
If it’s really cold, place a woolen blanket over your baby.
For newborns, a woolen hat is often a good idea: they still regulate most of their heat through their head.
Merinowool is naturally more precious than cotton or polyester — that is a fair fact.
On the other hand, the outfit lasts for months, hardly needs washing, and does not require a separate summer or winter version.
For the first six months of your baby, this is the only sleep suit you will need.
Daniëlle Kempers, neonatal nurse
"In the NICU, I see babies who sleep for hours on end — and babies who startle awake every twenty minutes. The difference often lies in small details: too warm, too cold, a rough seam, a fabric that doesn’t breathe. I designed this outfit because I know what a baby needs to truly relax."
Over dit product
A newborn baby sleeps most of the day — and what they wear matters. This knotted sleep gown is made from 100% merino wool and designed with one goal in mind: to let your baby sleep as comfortably and safely as possible, day and night, in every season.
Why merino wool makes a difference
Merino wool creates a natural microclimate — warm when it is cold, breathable when it is warm. For newborns, who cannot yet regulate their own body temperature, this is not a luxury but a necessity. The extra-fine wool fiber feels soft on the most sensitive baby skin and is hypoallergenic — also suitable for sensitive skin.
What makes this sleep gown special
Adjustable knotted hem
The bottom closes with a knot, allowing for quick and easy changes without having to fully undress your baby. By knotting directly below the feet, you create extra containment — a sense of security that helps calm babies.
Fold-over mittens
The built-in fold-over mittens protect your baby from scratching and keep their hands warm, without the need for separate mittens.
Timeless colors
Available in beige and camel — timeless, natural shades that combine effortlessly with other pieces from the collection.
Suitable for every season
Merino wool regulates temperature naturally. This makes this gown just as suitable for a cold winter night as it is for a warm summer evening.

Frequently asked questions
Is this sleep gown suitable for newborns?
Yes. The gown is specially designed for newborns. The soft merino wool fiber is gentle enough for the most sensitive baby skin, and the knotted hem adjusts to your baby's length.
Is the gown machine washable?
Preferably not. If washing is necessary, choose a hand wash with a wool detergent and avoid fabric softener.
Is the gown suitable for both summer and winter?
Yes. Merino wool adapts to the ambient temperature. Your baby will sleep comfortably in it, regardless of the season.
Why a knot instead of a zipper?
A zipper can press or feel cold against the skin. The knotted hem is softer, adjustable, and creates a sense of containment when used under the feet — similar to the feeling of security in the womb.
Merinowool & Cashmere vs. Synthetic
Why the material makes a difference for your baby
From the NICU to your baby's nursery
"Every time I stand next to a cradle, I think: who came up with this?"
After 28 years in the NICU, I see it again and again: babies dressed in clothing with stiff seams, synthetic materials, outfits that barely allow them to move.
Outfits that are perfect for a photo — but completely lack comfort.
That difference is the sole reason Moalie exists.
