About the Items
Are the items new?
All items available at Ninho do Tejo are new, original, and selected directly from premium European suppliers.
Do the sizes correspond to the baby's age?
The sizes indicated (1M, 3M, 6M, 12M, etc.) are a reference. Each baby has their own growth curve. If in doubt, we recommend consulting the size chart available on each item or contacting us directly.
How should I care for the pieces?
Specific care instructions are indicated on each piece and in the product descriptions. In general, we recommend washing at a low temperature (up to 30°C), without fabric softener, and air drying to preserve the natural fibres.
Are the materials safe for the baby?
Our curation favours suppliers that use natural materials and responsible manufacturing processes. The specific compositions and certifications are indicated in each item's description.
