Sustainable newborn essentials for the first weeks

This light blue hat is knitted from the finest merino wool, specifically chosen for its thermoregulatory properties. During my years in the neonatal intensive care unit, I saw how crucial it is for a baby not to waste precious energy on maintaining their temperature. Merino wool does this work for them; it breathes, wicks away moisture, and feels silky soft on the sensitive scalp.

Fit & Sizing

Because no baby is the same, I chose a model that really fits.

• Size S (0-6 months): This model is unique because it's adjustable . This makes the hat safe for little ones from about 2 kg ( 4.4 lbs). A well-fitting hat that doesn't slip over the eyes is essential, especially for the very youngest.

• Size M (6-12 months)

• Size L (1-3 years)

Exclusivity

At Moalie, we don't believe in mass production. This specific color and style is available in only one size . A unique item for your own little one or as a precious baby shower gift.

Why merino wool?

Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning. Unlike regular wool, it doesn't itch and retains its shape and quality for years.

• Material: 100% Merino wool

• Color: Soft Blue

• Care: Airing occasionally is often sufficient. If necessary, gently wash with cold wool and dry flat.

The basis for good temperature regulation

As a neonatal nurse, I see every day that newborns primarily need their energy to grow. However, they lose heat quickly, which can cause restlessness. This 100% merino wool set helps retain that heat without overheating.

I've put together this beige package as the ideal "first wardrobe." It includes the three most essential items for the postpartum period and the months afterward:

• The merino wool cardigan: A soft knitted cardigan that is easy to put on and take off for a little one.

• The hat: Indispensable in the first few days, because a baby loses most of its heat through its head.

• The woolen slippers: These stay in place and keep the feet at the right temperature, which contributes to better rest.

Why I choose this combination

• Non-itching wool: The fibers of our merino wool are so fine that they do not irritate sensitive skin.

• Practical: Merino wool is naturally self-cleaning; simply hanging it out in the fresh air is often enough.

• Includes luxurious gift wrapping: Because we believe in a warm welcome, you'll receive this set in our exclusive Moalie gift box. We'll carefully wrap it for you, so it's ready to give (or unwrap) immediately.

"In the 27 years I've worked with newborns, I've learned that calm often starts with the right materials. This wool breathes and regulates, exactly what a baby needs." – Daniëlle, Moalie.

The ruffled butterfly pants are made of a soft cotton blend that moves with your baby. The fabric feels smooth and soft against the skin, doesn't chafe, and offers plenty of room for a diaper or diaper pants.
