Instructions for wrap

Important note: Besides the instructions that come with every Asteraki and the videos you’ll find on this site, there are special educational videos with instructions that are ONLY for Asteraki carriers. They are not on this site and they are not public on YouTube. To see them, contact us with your purchase details and we’ll send them to you. We also remind you that, apart from the training appointments, we can look together at whatever is troubling you via video call too (Skype, Facebook, Viber, etc.).
