I Love, love, love using wool battings! The quilt on my bed has wool batting, has been laundered numerous times. I toss it in the washer, regular cycle, warm water, I toss it in the dryer regular cycle/setting...It comes out soft, fluffy & wonderful. There is no reason to not use it for a baby quilt. The (2) wool battings I use which do not shrink, are washable, hold up to lots of use and are a joy to work with are the Hobbs wool batt and Dream Wool from the dream company. I recommend them to everyone and use them often
