About Us

Welcome to Hummingbird!

Soon after the arrival of her first son in 2006 Mary Niblock found herself struggling to find warm, natural-fibre clothing for her newborn, so she decided to make her own. Naturally talented, Mary sourced soft, breathable Merino wool and made a beautiful set of clothes, content to be wrapping her little one in beautifully soft and natural fabrics. Encouraged by compliments from friends and family and spying a niche in the market, Hummingbird was conceived.

In 2008, Mary launched her first product line in four beautiful neutral colours for winter. Her confidence bolstered by the response from customers Mary decided to design a new line in time for the summer months. In November, Mary welcomed Erica Caldwell as her new business partner and Hummingbird Baby Pty Ltd was born!

In 2009 Hummingbird launched its new website to keep its customers up to date with the collections as they launch, and shopping safely and securely online.

About Our Garments

Our garments are proudly made in Melbourne from high-quality Australian and New Zealand Merino wool.

Clothe your little ones in wonderfully soft and lightweight Merino wool, made from 100% natural fibres. The superfine texture has an abundance of qualities that make it naturally suitable for babies. The fabric is ultra soft so it won't upset or irritate your baby's delicate or sensitive skin.

Newborn babies are unable to regulate their body temperature. Unlike garments made of synthetic materials that sometimes cause a baby to sweat, pure Merino wool is a breathable all-season fibre so Hummingbird Baby clothes keep baby cool and comfortable in summer. A superfine fabric, it can easily be layered with other garments in the cooler months to keep your precious little one toasty warm in winter. Check out our products page for layering options and suggestions.

You would be forgiven for thinking that such high quality garments would require gentle hand washing and care. But you can breathe easy (like our garments!) because Hummingbird Baby clothes are easy to look after and are machine washable in warm water.
