Fire Safety
This product complies with the Product Safety Standard (Children’s Nightwear and Limited Daywear Having Reduced Fire Hazard) Regulations 2016 and Safety Standard AS/NZS 1249:2014 (Children's Nightwear and Limited Daywear having Reduced Fire Hazard).
Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
- Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
- Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
- Close any zips before washing
- Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
- Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.

ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use 100% merino wool, it's three times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our 21.5 mciron, 220gsm, fine merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
Locally sourced wool
Not all merino is created equal. The wool in our all-natural merino fabrics are sourced from Australian farms. Backed by Woolmark, it meets Woolmark’s specifications for colour fastness, pilling, strength and dimensional stability.
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.
Clothing made for busy days
Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.
Babu Sleeping Bag Temperature Guide
The ideal sleeping environment is around 18–22°C, which is where babies sleep most comfortably. Our merino sleeping bag is designed to keep your baby comfortable through autumn, winter, and spring, and even on mild summer. The most important factor is your baby’s room temperature.
Use the table below to see our recommended layers for different temperatures. Dressing your baby in light, adjustable layers allows you to easily add or remove clothing as needed, keeping them cozy without overheating.
| Room Temperature | Recommended Layers |
|---|---|
| 16–18°C (Cool) | Merino sleeping bag + long sleeve bodysuit + long sleeve onesie or pyjamas |
| 18–20°C (Mild) | Merino sleeping bag + long sleeve bodysuit + footed leggings |
| 20–22°C (Comfortable) | Merino sleeping bag + long sleeve bodysuit |
| 22–24°C (Warm) | Merino sleeping bag + singlet bodysuit or light cotton layer |
| Over 24°C (Hot) | No sleeping bag - use a merino singlet bodysuit or light cotton layer only |

We’ve been using our merino sleeping bag - periwinkle for almost a month now and it’s so soft and comfy. It has been the perfect addition to our baby’s bedtime routine. Great quality piece that will last well beyond 1 baby!
We had an issue with an item from our order being out of stock and the customer service to resolve this was fantastic. Couldn’t recommend Babu Basics more. We will be shopping again!
Love it! Super high quality merino, seems much comfier than other well known brands which feel a bit stiff for our little one. Additional layer of safety with the temperature regulating properties of merino, she feels warm and snug but never sweaty. Will be repurchasing until she’s out of sleep sacks!!
I have multiple of these bags in the 3 - 24 month size and love them. I have just the 2 - 4 year size for my toddler. I was surprised by how long it is but it will certainly last a while!
Quality and comfort as always. Bought one for my first baby and again for my third. Hopefully there will be more colour options for 3-24 months.
Absolutely love our merino sleeping bag. The age/size range makes it a great investment and is an item we use every single day, for every single sleep time.
My first order arrived today and I am thrilled with everything. Fantastic quality and the extra gift is very much appreciated. My grandsons will be cosy and stylish. Won’t be my last order that’s for sure. Thanks again.
Used one in past and this is for a new baby, love this product
The team went out of their way to get the right size for me for a baby shower gift. The recipient was very stoked! The quality is amazing and feels like it will last for years. So glad I chose this brand after tossing up a few options. Thanks babu team!
Love these sleep sacks so much. We use them
All year round. Sadly my dark blue one got little holes in it very early on. Must have been a silver fisch :( very sad. Hopefully won’t happen again with this one. They’re still absolutely a five star product though. Also love supporting local Australian family run business. Very special.
Great sizing and lovely warm merino with the side zips! Perfect!
I bought this as a gift for my sister because my son loved his so much as a baby/toddler
Fabulous for my grand -daughters first birthday 🎂
100% merino means it’s easier to move around in. Perfect weight.
I have purchased two of these bags as gifts, to send to the UK ! Highly rated as the best baby gift ever!!
Thankyou Babu
I’ve been sleeping my babies in Babu sleeping bags for 11 years. The quality is excellent and they wash and wear beautifully. Just bought a new one for my last baby as a backup. Quality still strong compared to our original bags.
We haven't used these yet however the quality is amazing. Love that they are able to be adapted to various temperates rather than having to buy multiple togs.
Perfect!
Love this sleeping bag! It’s high quality, seems to be keeping my little one at a good temp. Excited to have something that will last longer than a couple of months of growth.
I love a double zip, but I don’t love that I have to re-join the pin and box for the top zip. It’s fiddly and I have wriggly 9 month old who hates any clothes being changed :)
He does get a bit tangled given the size because he rolls a lot. But I don’t think this is impacting his sleep.
Love this sleeping bag, so soft and cosy. As a bonus it fits over my baby’s hip dysplasia brace which has meant we didn’t have to buy a seperate one - thanks Babu!
I have bought many of these merino sleep sacks over the years. It’s a wonderful gift and keeps on giving for 2 years . They have been sent to all corners of the world and everyone has loved them. Thank you Babu for making such a wonderful garment.
We have many sleep sacks for our 2.5yr old and this is by far the one we come back to night after night. We rarely use the aircon at night so temperatures fluctuate and this sleep sack seems to keep him warm in winter, cool in summer and adapts in between. Buying another for our second. Thank you for making an exceptional product.
Used these sleep sacks for my two older children and am now using for my twins. Love how versatile these are between the seasons. Can also take them out and about, pop in their capsules and then transfer straight to bed when home.
thrilled with sleeping bag perfect colour and quality very quick service thank-you
I have been ordering these sleeping bags for years , it’s my go to present when babies are on the way . I have found them the best over others .
I’ve sent them all over the world and NZ .
This is the second of these we've bought having had the first around 2 years. Our little girl has been in the first from about 4 months to 2 and a half. We go a second to make our life easier as she's grown out of her other sleeping bags.
Was gifted one of your sleeping bags and at 4weeks old our daughter loves it. Only slight concern is the bulk under her chin but it’s manageable. I love that you can open it right out for nighttime changing etc
Love this sleeping bag so much. I have tried every merino brand out there and this is by far the best. Will be upgrading to the next size soon. This fit nicely from a very newborn baby. Only thing I would say is the zip area is quite intense up around the chin on a newborn, would be good if the seems were smaller or something? Otherwise fantastic.
LOVE this sleeping bag - love the colour, style and softness of the fabric
I can say that this sleeping bag is my daughter’s first luxury item. It feels so soft and breathable, the quality is tangible. I know she won’t get cold or overheat when I put this on her at night. It’s worth mentioning to that Babu also has an amazing customer service and was quick to respond to my query. They were very helpful and readily came up with a solution to my concern. 10/10. Keep it up!
PS do you have merino clothing for parents? 😅
