Why this balaclava makes a difference

  • Does your child love dinosaurs and refuse classic beanies?
  • Do they take off anything that doesn't stay in place?
  • Are you looking for a simple, practical, and complete solution to protect head + neck?
  • Do you want to avoid scarves (lost, forbidden, impractical)?

This ManyMonths balaclava ticks all the boxes... with the added originality of the Dino design.

A Dino design that changes everything

  • small "spikes" - raised crest on the back, also in pure merino wool
    → irresistible dinosaur effect
  • transforms an accessory into a fun garment
    → the child wants to keep it on

→ no more beanies that are taken off every 2 minutes

Complete protection in one go

  • covers head, neck, chest, and upper back
    → overall protection without adding multiple layers

→ no need for a scarf

Stays in place (finally)

Easy to put on

  • slips on in a few seconds
  • even a child can put it on by themselves

Natural comfort

Callisto Moon

Golden Star
A warm and luminous yellow. Brings light and a soft contrast.

The visuals presented show the product worn and in use, but some colors are not contractual and come from previous collections.

The photos in Foggy Black and Toasted Coconut correspond to the colors carried over in this new collection, for the products concerned.

Sizes:

Charmer / Explorer: 3–18 months - 62 to 86 cm - only in Callisto Moon, Moondust Blue

Adventurer / Conqueror: 1 year-5 years - 80 to 110 cm

Innovator: 5–7/7.5 years (110–122/128 cm)

Every child grows at their own pace.
I recommend choosing the size according to height in centimeters rather than age.

ManyMonths has its own size guide

Miracle: Premature (44–50 cm)
Newcomer: 0–3/4 months (50–56/62 cm)
Charmer: 3–6/9 months (62–68/74 cm)
Explorer: 6–12/18 months (68–80/86 cm)
Adventurer: 1–2/2.5 years (80–92/98 cm)
Conqueror: 3–4.5/5 years (98–104/110 cm)
Innovator: 5–7/7.5 years (110–122/128 cm)
Enthusiast: 8–10 years (128–134/140 cm)
Lionheart: 10–12/13 years (140–152/158 cm)

Then older children can choose adult clothing MaM or MaD in size S, then M...

How to choose the right children's size for pre-order (delivery in September)

When pre-ordering, you always need to anticipate the child's growth between now and delivery. With ManyMonths, it's even simpler:
their sizes are adaptable and cover several classic sizes. This leaves a real margin for growth, with no risk of the garment being too small upon receipt.

Simple rule:

  • never skip a size (because you'll skip several classic sizes)
  • always choose at least the next size up
  • sometimes the same size the child would wear today - only if they've just started wearing it
Composition

• 380 g/m² natural merino wool
• Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 certified
• No Superwash or other treatments
• Mulesing-free wool (yarn made exclusively for Babyidea)
• Non-toxic dyes suitable for natural fibers and sensitive skin

Maintenance tips

Untreated pure wool clothing does not need to be washed often.

• Regular care

- Regular airing outdoors (outside if possible, or in front of an open window)
- Rest after each use: hung on a hanger or drying rack, not left in a ball
- Local spot cleaning with room temperature water and Ulrich gall soap or real Marseille soap

• Full wash (rare)

- Hand washing highly recommended despite "Machine Washable" label
- Cold or room temperature water
- Ulrich Natürlich or Disana liquid wool detergent
- Wash temperature = rinse temperature
- Do not wring, roll in a towel
- Dry flat, away from sun and any heat source

• Maintaining Lanolin

- Lanolin treatment (every 2-3 washes) or impregnation (every 3-4 washes) occasionally to preserve self-cleaning and thermoregulating properties.
- Follow instructions on product sheets

Manufacturing & Ecology

ManyMonths / MaM / MaD clothing is manufactured for the Finnish brand Babyidea by EcoTextile / HempValley (Denmark/China), a workshop specializing in natural fibers and GOTS certified since 2008 – still a rarity in China and elsewhere. Production adheres to ILO social standards (voluntary work, prohibition of child labor, fair wages, safety, and regulated working hours), and each component is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I certified, making it suitable for contact with babies' skin.

The dyes are produced by certified workshops and tested by independent laboratories. This partner was chosen based on verifiable criteria: technical expertise, traceability, and social guarantees. The goal is transparent and sustainable manufacturing, prioritizing responsible production practices over mere geographical proximity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this balaclava replace a hat and scarf?
Yes, it replaces both in one piece.

• Doesn't merino wool itch?
The merino wool used for baby clothing is very fine and soft. It is suitable even for sensitive skin. Proper care and maintaining the lanolin are crucial steps for the natural softness of any wool.

Yuliya's Tips

• This is clearly one of my best ManyMonths purchases – it's hard to move on to anything else after so many years of use.
Used from birth up to around 8 years old, it truly accompanies a child throughout their childhood. It's no wonder it's one of the brand's flagship products: countless families adopt it and never let go.

For us, it was one of those essential basics, the kind you use without thinking, day after day.

• Hand wash, please!

This simple gesture – and rarely necessary – helps preserve the garment's good shape and size over time.
Gentle care also helps maintain the product's excellent quality, which can be a real advantage if you ever wish to resell it.

ManyMonths clothing is easily passed down from family to family, and its secondhand value often remains very attractive.
Well-maintained, used for a very long time – then resold, this garment can thus become one of the most economical pieces in your child's wardrobe.

Babyidea / ManyMonths / MaM

The Babyidea story begins in Finland, in the Helsinki region, as a Scandinavian family business guided by a simple idea: to design products that are truly useful in everyday life and consistent with natural parenting.

MaM® Design's beginnings date back to 2001, during Bettina's maternity leave; she was then a university lecturer. At that time, physiological babywearing was virtually unknown in Europe, and suitable clothing was practically nonexistent. The first creations were therefore born from a concrete need: to make life with a baby easier, without compromising on comfort or materials.
ManyMonths clothes that grow with the child - are born.

The brand has grown alongside its children: from a few boxes stacked in a bedroom serving as a makeshift workshop to a 500 m² logistics space near Helsinki, and then to a network of distributors and boutiques across Europe. Despite this evolution, the objective remains unchanged: to develop sustainable, practical, and respectful solutions in partnership with companies that share the same values.

Following this principle, the manufacturing of ManyMonths, MaM, and MaD clothing was not based on geographical criteria but on technical and human factors. The choice fell on EcoTextile / HempValley (Denmark/China), a workshop specializing in natural fibers that has been operating for nearly twenty years with high standards of traceability and social responsibility. GOTS certified since 2008—a still rare certification—the manufacturer also adheres to the ILO's international labor standards. Each component is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I certified, and the dyes are tested by independent laboratories.

This partnership reflects the brand's philosophy: prioritizing expertise, transparency, and verifiable guarantees over superficial proximity. The objective remains the same as from the outset: to create clothing designed to last, safe for children, and consistent with a more responsible lifestyle, from design in Finland to manufacturing.

The MaM / MaD collection for adults was born in 2017 to meet the growing demand from parents to finally be able to wear the same wool as their children in ManyMonths.

*******

My business began with the purchase of a simple ManyMonths pure wool bodysuit in 2012. That's when I truly discovered what wool could be like in everyday life. Then, as I outfitted my children with the entire collection, another realization dawned: I wanted to talk about it, explain it, and share it with the world!

That's how my shop was born. This brand was the direct origin of my business, and over the years I have also been very actively involved in its development in France, while influencing certain product developments thanks to feedback from the field.

It all started thanks to Bettina. I will always be grateful to her for these clothes that have accompanied my children - and me - throughout all these years.
