WOOLBABE x BO & KO BABY Collaboration!
BO & KO Baby are renowned for their stunning collections of baby goods with designs representing indigenous heritage, rooted in cultural identity and whakapapa. They have teamed up with the beloved Woolbabe to create a range of high quality baby sleepwear.
It was of the upmost importance that Māori culture was appropriately represented in this collaboration. BO & KO Baby worked closely with a Toi Māori artist to bring their vision for the design to life. They have been guided by their kaumātua and received blessing over this collaboration of product collections between BO & KO Baby and Woolbabe.
Introducing 'NGARU' (wave)
He Whakamāramatanga
The unaunahi represents whānau and whakapapa.
The unaunahi, like a ripple in the water, has a centre point where each ripple once was.
As the ripple develops, an offspring replaces its spot. The spiral in which the ripples flow out of, represent balance and tranquillity.
This collaboration between BO & KO Baby and Woolbabe has received blessing from Ngāpuhi Kaumātua Ngāwati Hone Mau.

In 2023, customers helped us tweak the fit to be easier to walk in, and roomier in all the right places to fit cloth nappies and all shapes of tummies and legs. These improvements ensure sizing is the same across both the Duvet and 3-Seasons suits.
Should you go up a size? That depends! Some customers like a true to size fit, some prefer a looser low crotch fit and others want to buy bigger so it lasts. Please note these are already a lower crotch style, so the bigger you buy, the lower the crotch and therefore the harder it will be for your child to walk in their suit. You are always welcome to order 2 sizes and try on at home to see what fit you want for your child. Please always try your suit on for size BEFORE WASHING so you can see if you think it is right or if you need to exchange.
