The Secrets of Dimples Merino, Natures Miracle
Marvellous Merino – and How to Care for It Dimples high-quality Merino is made in New Zealand and designed to last – treat it with love and care and it will stay looking beautiful for years to come. Why Merino? Merino wool truly is nature’s miracle. Its warm, soft, breathable fibres keep your little one comfortable all year round. Because babies take time to develop the ability to regulate their temperature – and can’t tell us if they’re too hot or cold – Merino clothing and sleepwear offer peace of mind. The natural fibres form little pockets of insulating air, keeping warmth in on chilly days and helping release heat when it’s warm. Other wonderful benefits of Merino: Naturally hypoallergenic – gentle on delicate skin and suitable for babies with eczema, allergies, or sensitivities Naturally flame-resistant – without added chemicals Moisture-wicking – absorbs moisture while staying warm and drying quickly Stain-resistant – perfect for little spills and dribbles Keeps its shape – it stretches with your baby, then springs right back after each wash Made to Last Each Dimples Merino garment is lovingly hand-sewn and embroidered by our talented team right here in New Zealand. Crafted with care and attention to detail, these pieces are designed to last – ready to be worn, washed, and passed down through generations. To help your Merino stay soft, beautiful, and in great condition, it just needs a little extra love when it comes to care. How to Wash Merino Always check the garment’s care label first Do not soak – for stubborn stains, we recommend Sard Wonder Soap. Wet the stain in cold water, rub on the soap, agitate gently, then rinse thoroughly Use a wool-approved detergent like Earthwise Wool & Delicates. Dilute the detergent before adding to your washing machine – never pour directly onto the fabric Avoid detergents that contain eco-brighteners or enzymes, which can damage Merino fibres (even some ‘baby’ or ‘eco’ detergents) Use the wool wash cycle on your machine, or hand wash gently in cold water Rinse well, gently squeeze (no twisting), and lay flat to dry in the shade Never bleach, rub, soak or tumble dry. Merino prefers to be air-dried Cool steam iron if needed – and yes, it’s dry cleanable if preferred How to Dry Merino Merino should be air-dried flat in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause fading or damage, and tumble dryers are a no-go. How to Store Merino Because Dimples Merino contains no chemicals, it can be extra appealing to clothes moths. If you're packing your garments away for a while: Wash and dry them first Store in a sealed garment bag or container Clothes Moths – What to Watch For Noticed tiny holes? Pop the item into a sealed bag and freeze for 72 hours – this helps eliminate any moth larvae. After freezing, rewash the garment as usual. Shop the full range of our luxurious Merino here

Keeping Winter Bugs Away from your Baby
Keeping your baby well and cosy this winter Winter can be a challenging time when you have a little one, especially if they’re brand new. 🐣 Alongside keeping baby warm and dry, you’re also up against colds, flu, and other winter bugs that seem to be everywhere. Because babies’ immune systems are still developing, they’re more vulnerable to infections. Their tiny nasal passages and lungs also mean illnesses like colds and flu can affect them more than adults. But don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to reduce their risk and help them recover quickly if they do catch something. Stay warm, stay comfy While “catching a chill” won’t cause a cold or flu, keeping your baby warm and dry helps their body focus on fighting off germs instead of battling the cold. Dress your baby in one extra layer than you’re wearing, and choose clothes that are easy to add or remove as they warm up or cool down. Keep your home temperature steady around 18 - 20°C for cosy comfort. Merino wool is a winter hero for babywear and bedding. Its natural temperature regulating properties keep babies warm without overheating, making it ideal for layering under pyjamas and sleepwear. Fuel their immune system Good nutrition is vital to support your baby’s developing immune system. Once they’ve started solids, offer a colourful variety of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Frozen produce can be just as nutritious as fresh, especially during winter when fresh foods may have been stored for long periods. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods, which can impair immunity. When possible, prepare baby’s food from scratch to keep nutrient levels high. While supplements aren’t usually necessary for babies, some parents choose to use vitamin drops - just make sure these are used as a boost to a healthy diet and given in the correct amounts. Keeping germs at bay Reducing exposure to germs is one of the best ways to keep your baby healthy during winter. Handwashing is the frontline defence. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after being in public places, changing nappies, or before feeding your baby. Teach older siblings to wash their hands immediately after coming home, and encourage good hygiene habits like coughing or sneezing into their elbows instead of their hands. If your baby is old enough to explore, regularly clean their hands as well, since babies often put toys and fingers in their mouths. When out and about, keeping your baby’s pram covered can help shield them from strangers’ coughs and sneezes or accidental touching. Regularly clean toys and surfaces baby frequently touches at home to limit germs. Avoid close contact with anyone who is unwell, and try to limit your baby’s time in crowded places during peak cold and flu season. If you’re still breastfeeding, it’s especially important to keep germs away - breastmilk passes vital antibodies that help protect your baby from many illnesses. This natural immunity boost makes hygiene and reducing exposure even more crucial. Hydration is key Breastfeeding also helps keep your baby hydrated and supported through winter. Regardless of feeding method, ensure your baby drinks enough breastmilk, formula, or water (if old enough) to prevent dry nasal passages and reduce infection risk, especially if you’re using heaters or air conditioning, which can dry the air. When sniffles strike Even with your best efforts, babies can still catch colds. If your baby starts showing signs of a runny nose or congestion, gentle relief can make a big difference. Nasal decongesters designed specifically for infants safely clear blocked noses, making it easier for them to breathe and sleep. Using a few drops of saline beforehand can help loosen mucus for easier removal. A chest rub can be especially helpful for sleep. Raising the head of their cot slightly and running a humidifier in their room can soothe irritated airways. While some parents like using eucalyptus rubs or essential oils, it’s best to apply these to bedding or sleepwear rather than directly on baby’s skin to avoid irritation. Having these supplies ready before cold season hits means you’re prepared to help your little one feel comfortable and recover quickly. Ready for a cosy, healthy winter? Our collection of beautiful merino babywear and bedding is designed to keep your baby naturally warm and comfortable all winter long. With merino’s breathable and temperature-regulating properties, you can feel confident your baby is snug without overheating. Shop the range here.

Rotating car seats – should you choose one?
Getting a wriggly toddler into a car seat shouldn’t feel like a workout. That’s why rotating car seats are quickly becoming a go-to for modern parents. In this blog, we explore how they work and why so many families are making the switch. From extended rear and front facing options to reducing back strain, we’ll help you decide whether a rotating car seat is the right choice for your growing family. Benefits of a Rotating Car Seat Easier access in and out of the car - The swivel function turns the seat towards the door, making it easier to get your child in and out of the car without awkward angles. With the seat facing you, it is easier to correctly position and tighten the harness, helping ensure your child is safely secured every time. Reduced strain on your back - Rotating the seat towards you helps minimise bending, twisting, and reaching, which can help prevent back and shoulder strain, especially with growing toddlers. This also helps parents (or grandparents) recovering from birth, injury, or surgery, or those with limited mobility, who often find rotating seats easier and more comfortable to use. Rear and front facing options - While your child is young, rear facing car seats are recommended for their safety. Though you want to keep them rear facing as long as possible (according to weight and height restrictions), you will eventually need to switch to forward facing, which is made incredibly easy with the swivel feature. You also have multiple angle options to recline the seat and can change all of these settings without having to re-install the entire seat. Things to Consider Before Buying Weight limits - Most (though not all) rotating car seats have a weight limit of 18kgs because of the isofix installation. On average, that’s around four years old, and while many parents are happy to switch to a booster seat after that, others just want one seat that goes all the way. If you’d prefer to buy a single seat with more longevity, a non-rotating option may suit you better. The Nuna Rava Next goes up to 29.4kgs (seven or eight years on average), and the Exec Next has a booster seat conversion, meaning that it lasts right from newborn up to 49.9kgs, around 12 years old! Space in your car - If you have multiple kids and multiple car seats in the car, having one that rotates might be a bit tricky. Rotating seats generally have a larger base, and the swivel motion itself can be blocked if there are other seats in the way. If you plan on having three seats side by side in the back row, swivelling is a no-go. If you have two seats, then a rotating seat might be a good option depending on how it fits into your car. If you’re not sure, give us a call at our Newmarket or Christchurch stores, and book in a time to try out some options and see what works best. What Are the Rotating Car Seat Options? Nuna NEXT System Built to work together seamlessly, the Nuna NEXT System offers flexibility, longevity, and peace of mind in one refined package. With two different base options (Base Next & Base Curv), two capsules (Pipa Next & Arra Flex), a unique lie-flat car seat (Cari Next), and a toddler seat for good measure (Todl Next), the NEXT System gives you a range of options for travelling in style. The bases come equipped with True Lock™ technology and coloured installation guides for your peace of mind, and one base can be used for all compatible products (keeping you covered for the first four years of baby’s life). Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro Capsule & Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 As part of the 360 Pro Family range, the Pebble and Pearl (when on the Family Fix 360 Pro Base) not only rotate 360°, but also slide towards you to eliminate the awkward reaching that usually comes with buckling in a little one. While the Pearl must be attached to the base in order to go in the car, the Pebble can also be seatbelt installed by itself. Nuna Pruu If you love the Todl but don’t want to bother with the separate base, the Pruu might be the seat for you. With the same detachable Side Impact Protection, integrated rebound bar, and smart-swivel lock, your little one will be travelling in stylish safety from start to finish. The big difference? The Pruu is one piece, with no separate base, making it a bit heavier to carry around, but super convenient for those who’d rather not bother with the extra pieces. We also have the new Nuna Pruu Aire with a retractable sun canopy. Nuna Rylo A new and popular choice is the Nuna Rylo. This seat has it all: 360° rotation, seat belt installation capability, and premium materials. Certified to the AS/NZS standard, it’s perfect for Trans-Tasman travellers, or anyone who’s after the latest version of Nuna’s award winning technology. Not sure which seat is right for you? Visit us in Auckland or Christchurch to see them in person. You can also book in a fitting with our team - we’ll help you find the safest, easiest option for your car and your family.
