As a parent, you want nothing more than the best for your baby. The first days and weeks after birth are crucial to your baby's health and well-being. One of the most important aspects during this period is keeping your baby warm. This is where merino wool can play an indispensable role. At Moalie, we have many merino wool items in our collection, and they are increasingly being recommended by maternity nurses. This is not without reason. Merino wool helps newborns better regulate their body temperature, keeping them comfortable and safe. From my background as a neonatology nurse, I know how difficult it sometimes is for a baby to maintain a good temperature and how important this is in the first few days. In fact, a low body temperature can have serious consequences: it affects blood sugar levels, causes a baby to drink worse, leads to weight loss and can even cause a vicious cycle of further cooling. In this blog you will discover why merino wool is the ideal choice for babies and how our merino wool wrap snuggle contributes to a healthy and safe start for your little one.
Why is temperature regulation so important for your baby?
Newborn babies do not yet have fully developed thermoregulation. This means they cannot maintain their body temperature independently, as adults do. This problem is especially common in babies who are premature or low birth weight, but even full-term babies can have trouble keeping themselves warm.
When a baby gets too cold, he must use extra energy to warm up. This can lead to:
-
Low blood sugar levels
-
Reduced energy to drink properly
-
Weight loss
-
A vicious cycle of further cooling
Merino wool helps prevent this problem by keeping your baby's body temperature stable regardless of the ambient temperature.
What makes merino wool so special?
Merino wool is not just any wool; it is one of the most functional and luxurious materials you can choose for your baby. Some unique properties of merino wool are:
-
Excellent temperature regulation
Merino wool has naturally thermoregulating properties. This means it keeps your baby warm in winter and cool in summer. The fibers can retain heat without overheating your baby. -
Breathable and moisture-regulating
Merino wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling clammy. This prevents your baby from sweating and helps create a dry, comfortable environment. -
Soft and itch-free
Unlike ordinary wool, merino fibers are ultrafine and soft, causing no irritation or itching. This makes it perfect for sensitive baby skin. -
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and antifungal. This helps prevent skin irritations and allergies. -
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Merino wool is a biodegradable and renewable material, making it a sustainable choice for conscious parents.
