The Nature Baby Organic Merino Classic Drawstring Booties are crafted in New Zealand from the finest pure organic-certified merino wool to keep baby's feet comfortably warm. Two sizes: 0 to 3 months | 3 to 6 months. Organic cotton drawstring adjusts booties to fit snugly. Ideal in any season because merino naturally balances baby's body temperature. Fabric Benefits Evolution has endowed the merino sheep of New Zealand with an amazing wool fiber that scientists cannot replicate. No artificial fabric can match the all-round performance of merino; it insulates, absorbs moisture and breathes superbly, is naturally fire resistant, itch-free, repels stains and odors, and is silky-soft yet highly durable. Merino has the remarkable natural ability to regulate baby's body temperature; it captures and circulates air to insulate baby when the room temperature falls, and releases excess body heat and moisture as the room temperature rises. Baby stays comfortably warm and dry both night and day without overheating. Research shows merino fabric is ideal for babywear. A 2010 AgResearch study determined that babies sleeping in merino are less likely to overheat or to become damp or chilled compared with synthetic polar fleece. Nature Baby's premium IMO-certified organic merino fiber is extra soft, allergy-safe and completely free of all chemicals including those used in standard wool processing which can contribute to wool sensitivity in some people. Naturally fire resistant and rated low fire risk so no need for polyester fireproofing chemicals that can irritate baby skin. Machine washable, quick-drying, can be tumble-dried. |
