Linen is made from the flax plant which requires less water and pesticides than most crops, and when left untreated is completely biodegradable.

All our Linens meet the Oeko-Tex standard ensuring that they don’t contain any harmful substances.

We have invested a great deal of time into sourcing quality materials and components that go into every Billie + Bobbie garment so it will stand the test of time. Each step of the production process is carefully considered to ensure our products have as little impact on the environment as possible, this includes only producing small quantities to avoid excess stock and reduce contributing to landfill.

We only work with business partners who have the same values as us, to treat people and the Earth as we would like to be treated ourselves. We aim to integrate these values through all aspects of the business from product to packaging. All products purchased online are free from plastic and all print materials and swing tags are recyclable.

Are Billie + Bobbie products safe for sleep?
• Safety is at the forefront of our mind when designing any Billie + Bobbie product. All of our products go through a product safety standard review and where applicable have been tested through an independent laboratory to ensure that they meet Australian standards AS/NZS 1249:2014 for children’s nightwear. All products are designed for safe sleep following Australian SIDS guidelines.
• It is important to select the right style and size swaddle or sleeping bag for your little one's weight/size and developmental stage.
• We recommend the Red Nose Australia website to follow the latest guidelines for safe sleeping.

What age can my baby wear it from? When should I stop swaddling my baby?
We recommend our Joey Merino Wool Swaddle Sack or Swaddle Wrap to be used from newborn until your little one has outgrown the swaddling phase. It is essential to discontinue swaddling as soon as baby starts showing signs that they can begin to roll, usually between 4-6 months of age but sometimes younger. The sleeping bag is suitable to be used from around 3 months upwards (min weight 4.5kg). Refer to our size guide for weight guidelines.

What is a baby sleeping bag or sack?
A baby sleep bag, also called a wearable blanket or sleep sack, is a bag-like garment or covering worn by infants for sleeping. It replacing loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. Red Nose recommend that it should be fitted around the neck, and baby’s arms fully out of the bag for safe sleeping.

Why use a sleeping bag instead of regular sheets?
• Safety - Sleeping bags are secure around the neck/armholes which means that they won’t be able to cover your baby’s face while sleeping unlike traditional blankets.
• Sleep association – the sleeping bag becomes part of the bedtime routine and so your child learns that when the sleeping bag comes out, it’s time for bed!
• Less waking during the night - They ensure a better night’s sleep for all the family as they can’t be kicked off leading to waking in the night because they are cold.

What should I dress my baby in underneath the swaddle/sleeping bag?
Refer to our temperature guide below for what to wear underneath the Joey Merino Wool Swaddle Sack or Sleeping Bag.

What weight do I need?
You can choose which weight is suitable based on the temperature of your baby’s room following our temperature guide below.

How many swaddles/sleeping bags do I need?
We recommend to have 2 swaddles/sleeping bags so that you have a spare when one is in the wash (or needed for sleepovers at grandparents etc). Most climates will require both all season and winter weight sleeping bags but please refer to our temperature guide to check what your baby’s room falls under. Check out our value bundle sets to save when you buy 2.

My child has eczema - will it be irritated by wool?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a recurring, non-infectious, inflammatory skin condition affecting one in three Australasians at some stage throughout their lives. Clothing type and overheating can both contribute to the cause of eczema. Billie + Bobbie garments only use breathable, natural fibres - Superfine Merino Wool has actually been found to improve eczema due to its ability to manage moisture levels next to the skin – it draws moisture away preventing any clamminess.

Isn't merino wool too hot for warm temperatures?
Wool is often associated with winter or colder climates but in fact Superfine Merino Wool is ideal for a wide range of temperatures due to its ability to regulate body temperature. It wicks moisture away from the skin as your little one heats up during the night and perspires. Synthetic fibres like polyester (which is used as a filling in the majority of kids sleeping bags) traps the moisture leading to clamminess, which can cause your little one to become cold during the night as the temperature drops as well as contributing to skin conditions like eczema.
