Merino sheep have been bred over the centuries to produce fine, soft wool.  When the Merino is crossbred with one of the English breeds, known for their strength of fibers, the result is a luxurious fleece which is soft, strong and dense.  Unlike the synthetic fiber, each natural wool fiber has a “memory” which allows it to return to its' original position even when it has been folded or subjected to heavy weights.

When to use:

Because air circulates freely between the fibers creating an insulating effect, Lamby can be used summer and winter.  Experiments in Northern Queensland, which is very hot and humid, proved lambskin to be beneficial in the prevention of heat rash.  In humid conditions, air the lambskin more frequently.

How to use:

Baby should use Lamby continually, in the bassinet, bed, carrier, stroller, and car seat, even on the floor.  It is preferable not to cover the lambskin with a sheet as this reduces its effectiveness.  However, placing a diaper under the head and buttocks while baby is small will prevent minor soiling. 

For maximum benefit, baby should lie directly on Lamby.  In hot weather, dress baby in as few clothes as possible.  On very hot days, use just a diaper, and cover with a light sheet.  In cold weather, body contact with the lambskin should be as complete as possible or upon following the advice of your pediatrician.

LAMBY is safe:

Wool is naturally flame resistant.  Air circulates freely between the fibers.  Lamby promotes the “BACK TO SLEEP” campaign, which recommends placing baby on their back for the sleeping position or following the advice of your pediatrician.
