Extra-Soft Organic Wool/Silk Base-Layer for Children

"We do love these in feel and warmth. Really lovely material. Works well over our Disana cloth nappies at night. They have however stretched much more consistently with wear than any of our other wool/silk items. Since we use them as pajamas it is possible that with lots of turning and twisting at night they don't last as well sizewise as they would if worn as a base layer; alternatively it may be the quality of the material as our silk/wool pajamas from another brand haven't stretched in a similar way. We do still wear them, but they are much larger now than when we bought them, even taking into account a growing toddler, so need to put another vest underneath or over it as the shoulders and chest become exposed during the night otherwise."

I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.

"Dear Cambridge Baby customer,
Many thanks for your feedback.

We are very sorry that these lovely base-layers have stretched more than they should have done. It is not an issue that we have been aware of so it may be this particular pair that is at fault.

If you would like to return them as faulty (please follow the instructions on our returns / exchange page here: http://ow.ly/Q2Xw306zXtC), then we will replace them.

Best wishes,
Agnès
Cambridge Baby Team"

"I think this is my first Cambridge Baby purchase that doesn't get five stars and a glowing review. Starting with the positives, the material mix, look, and feel of these garments is absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, we had issues with the fit: the trousers were long and baggy on my daughter, yet she outgrew the top (same size on the label) very quickly. The top also developed holes in the fabric, despite very careful hand washing and being used only as sleepwear. CB's customer service was outstanding and I was sent a replacement but before too long the problem appeared again. We have plenty of wool and silk/wool clothes in this house and this is the first time this keeps happening. If the fit was better (no way could my daughter have used the trousers as a base layer under jeans, for example) and the material was a little more hardwearing, this would be fabulous."

"Bought a blue striped set for my son. They are really lovely.
They are very reasonably priced. We have had them for 5 months now and when they do need washing (we just hang them up in the air most of the time), they have washed very well in the machine on wool setting at 30 using a special liquid for woollens. They have bobbled a little bit, but they have been heavily worn. As well as being a base layer, they are the go-to outfit for home comfort when Henry is ill too."
