ManyMonths Natural Woollies Body/Shirt Short Sleeve

Description

Merino wool short sleeve bodysuit for babies and toddlers

Our timeless Body/Shirt with short sleeves: the same one-of-a-kind 2-in-1 design as the bestselling long-sleeved version, for warmer days and for layering all year round.

Supporting core warmth is essential for healthy growth, good sleep and well-being.

Unique 2-in-1 Design: Wear it as a bodysuit, or as a shirt simply by detaching the bottom part. The removable bottom piece makes nappy changes easy and quick.

Adjustable & Long-Lasting: Two rows of sewn-on snap tape give size flexibility, so the body grows with your child and works well with cloth nappies.

Perfect for Layering: On its own on warm days, or as a breathable base layer under a cardigan or long-sleeved top when it is cooler.

The ManyMonths® classic, ready for every season.

Complete the Look: Reversible Shorties and Reversible Longies.

Tip: Many families keep two, so one can air and rest while the other is worn.

Why Natural Merino Wool?

Warm Without Overheating: Cosy in the cold and comfortable when the weather turns milder.
Breathable on Active Days: Wool absorbs sweat and lets it evaporate, and stays warm even when damp.
Soft on the Skin: Smooth and comfortable, nothing like the wool jumpers you remember.
Less Washing: Wear daily, wash seldom. Wool naturally resists dirt and odours, and airing outdoors is usually enough.

Sizing

• NewComer (0-3/4 months, 50-56/62 cm)
• Charmer/Explorer (3-12/18 months, 62-80/86 cm)
• Adventurer (1-2/2.5 years, 80-92/98 cm)

Fit: A fitted cut in our exceptionally stretchy rib that adapts to all body types: lovely on its own or as a base layer.

Choose the size by your child's height rather than age. Our sizes are generous and our custom-knitted merino rib has a natural, built-in stretch, so there is no need to size up; between two sizes, take the larger one. Each size spans several stages of growth, so one piece is worn for many months, and often by the next child too.

See our Size Guide for help choosing the right size.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash or machine wash at a max. temperature of 30°C on a gentle wool cycle
• When washing by hand, do not wring. Instead, press into a towel to remove excess water or machine spin at 400 rpm
• Shape while damp and lay flat to dry
• Do not tumble dry or bleach
• We recommend airing wool garments outside to refresh them. It's unnecessary to wash after every use.
• Use an enzyme-free wool detergent when washing your Natural Woollies, and let them rest between uses
• Pure merino rib without elastane relaxes a little with wear and regains its shape in the wash
