For newborn babies, you really only want one thing: for them to feel safe, warm, and calm. And that is exactly what this wool-silk wrap-around romper from Engel Natur is so good at. Soft, breathable, and designed with an eye for comfort, for your baby and for you.
Why wool-silk is so great for newborns
This romper is made from 70% organic wool and 30% silk. A combination that we recommend so often in our shop for good reason. Babies have to work hard to maintain their body temperature, and wool actively helps with that. The wool adopts your baby's body temperature and retains it, without feeling stuffy.
The silk makes the fabric extra soft and smooth. It acts as a natural buffer against sensory input. Many parents notice that their baby is calmer in wool-silk, is less easily startled, and feels more comfortable in new or busy situations. This material is also often very pleasant for sensitive skin or eczema.
Wrap-around romper: less hassle, more calm
The wrap-around model with snap buttons is a real lifesaver for newborns. You don't have to pull the romper over their head, which many babies find unpleasant. You lay your baby on it, fold it shut, and you're done.
Less fuss, less heat loss, and most importantly: more calm during diaper changes. You can feel that difference immediately, especially in the first few weeks.
Fit and size advice
Rompers from Engel Natur are long and narrow. This is intentional, so that they fit snugly without pinching. Are you in doubt between two sizes? We usually recommend the larger size. Wool is incredibly stretchy and grows along with your baby, even for slightly chubbier ones.
You will also notice that stretch during diaper changes. The fabric moves with them, which makes everything just that little bit easier.
Washing wool: preferably not too often
Wool is self-cleaning. Often, airing it out after wearing is sufficient. For example, hang the romper in the bathroom or by an open window overnight.
Still need to wash it? Use the wool cycle on your washing machine with a wool detergent containing lanolin, such as Lanalicious. Use a small amount of detergent, don't overfill the machine, and take the romper out immediately after washing.
Gently pull it into shape and let it dry lying flat.
