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.

Soft, breathable, and ultra-comfortable merino-cashmere that keeps your baby warm without overheating.

A hat may be the most important item in your baby’s first months. This finely knitted merino wool hat with a touch of cashmere feels incredibly soft and provides natural temperature regulation. It keeps your little one warm in winter and cool in summer, without the head becoming clammy.
Thanks to the comfortable fit, the hat stays well in place, even on the tiniest ones. Size S is specially designed to also fit preemies. Pair it with the matching romper or booties in the same color for a complete set.

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.
