The importance of a bonnet: A newborn babies head is relatively large compared with the rest of its body which means that the heat loss through the head is significant. A bonnet helps to keep baby's temperature stable. It also protects the baby from the surrounding noise of the environment. The bonnet also massages the baby's head in a soothing way similar to the effect of the womb during pregnancy. Ruskovilla Finland

Washing: handwash in tepid water with a wool shampoo, dry flat in shade. Silk doesn't like to dry in the sun as it causes the fibres to go brittle over time.
