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."

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.

Why most newborn hats don't fit (and ours does)

The first few days with your baby are the most special. Nothing is more annoying than a hat that constantly slides down over their eyes or sits too tight on that delicate head. While thermoregulation is crucial in the first week, synthetic fabrics often make the skin swelter.

Our merino wool hat is precision-designed for those first, precious moments. It's the only hat that truly fits perfectly from day one – just the way maternity nurses like it.

The benefits for your child

  • The perfect fit: Thanks to the wide brim, the hat fits softly without pinching. No sliding, no irritation. The brim is also adjustable (folds over), allowing you to perfectly adjust the size to your little one's head. This means one size lasts much longer.

  • Intelligent thermoregulation: Merino wool acts as a natural thermostat. It keeps your baby warm on cold nights, yet breathes when the temperature rises. This way, their head always stays at the ideal temperature.

  • Silky soft: Forget the itchiness of traditional wool. Our premium merino wool is hypoallergenic and feels like a second skin—perfect for early hair growth and sensitive skin.

  • Self-cleaning: The natural lanolin in the wool repels dirt and bacteria. That means less washing and more time to enjoy.

Designed by professionals, loved by mothers

It's no wonder our Size S (0-6 months) is a favorite among maternity nurses. While other brands often run too large for a newborn, this hat offers the security a baby needs to make the transition to the outside world a smooth one.

"Finally, a hat that doesn't fall off while I sleep. The quality of the wool is beautiful; it has the timeless aesthetic I'm looking for, but with the functionality my baby needs." – Sophie, mother of Lou.

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.
