Storchenwiege wraps are manufactured using double-strength 100% cotton thread and a special weaving method, to ensure maximum support of your baby's back.
The wraps are constantly being tested for harmful substances and manufactured under strict quality control.
Every wrap is Oeko-Tex 100 certified and comes with a 2-year durability warranty.

Depends. If you're using an elastic/jersey wrap, which always requires 3 layers of cloth to ensure proper back support, you and baby will indeed get quite hot.
Woven wraps (e.g. Storchenwiege, Didymos, etc.) however, come with a variety of holds, that only require one layer of cloth around baby's back and thus are less warm.
Apart from that - dress according to the season: in July/August baby will probably be happy with a thin body, hat and light cover for his feet.

Woven wraps can be used from birth up to age 3 (or even longer). There are dozens of different holds for every age, preference and situation.

Depends on what carrier you use. If you use a wrap that supports the natural anatomy of your baby, wearing even promotes your baby's healthy development.
Make sure you are using a hold, that allows for a proper squat-straddle position
(why's that?)
front carry holds (e.g. kangaroo/wrap-cross carry) or the hip kangaroo are the most suitable for newborns.
Carriers in which the baby "hangs" with his legs straight down aren't recommended at any age!

Storchenwiege wraps are manufactured in 5 different sizes: 2.70m, 3.60m, 4.10m, 4.60m and 5.20m. In my shop,
I'm always keeping a stock of 4.10m and 4.60m wraps, but can of course order others upon request.

First of all: Don't despair! There are a lot of parents out there that need a little more than the standard instruction manual to get the hang of wrapping.
I've prepared a straight-forward very explanatory wrapping video for elastic wraps:

Unfortunately I don't have their original instructions for distribution, but you can call me for a 1-on-1 wrapping instruction with your Tinokis (or any other wrap/carrier you've got):

At birth, your baby's hip joints are still cartilaginous and have to mature over the first weeks of life.
By carrying your baby in a well-tied baby wrap in the upright "frogleg"-position
(click to see image)
you can actively contribute to the maturation of your baby's hips.
The cradle hold does not take advantage of this effect, that's why I don't recommend it as newborn carry.
While you might want to consider it for discreet nursing, it should never be the only carry position in the early weeks. (Read more...)

The facing-out position is anatomically and orthopedically not correct.
It forces the baby into an unnatural posture and causes spinal stress. A baby's spine is rounded after birth and takes up to a year to reach it's characteristic s-shape.
Facing-out positions force the baby into a hollow back which is the opposite of the natural spine posture.
Apart from that, the baby's whole weight lies on his pubic bone which can lead to deformation and bruises on the testicles.
See my informations on babywearing for more good reasons NOT TO USE this position.
