Collection description
A newborn loses most of its heat through its head. That's why maternity nurses recommend wearing a well-fitting wool hat in the first few days – especially immediately after birth, after a bath, or on the way home.
Our merino wool hats fit softly, stay in place, and help prevent cooling in a natural and safe way.
The baby hats are finely knitted from 100% merino wool or our soft merino/cashmere blend . Both qualities are breathable, soft, and gentle on sensitive skin. Because merino wool regulates temperature, your baby won't overheat but will stay warm enough.
Many maternity nurses keep our hats in their bags. They choose them because:
-
they fit the very youngest , including premature babies
-
the cap stays in place without being too tight
-
Merino wool naturally provides warm protection against cooling
-
the material is soft for the delicate newborn skin
-
they are ideal in the crib, baby sling, maxi-cosi or stroller
Our collection ranges from newborn to 3 years old. This makes it easy for siblings to match, something many parents find valuable at births, photoshoots, or first outings. The fit remains soft, snug, and comfortable in all sizes, without being constricting.
Whether you're looking for a newborn hat , a wool hat for babies , or a merino wool hat that really stays in place: this collection offers familiar warmth from the very first moments.
