How to Nurse in a Maya Wrap
Using a Maya Wrap allows you to get things done while carrying baby -- including nursing. The wrap allows for different carrying positions to grow with your baby. It holds a baby up to 35 pounds and comes in four fully adjustable sizes. A Maya Wrap provides extra support and coverage for a nursing baby. The baby is supported in a nursing position while the open tail of the wrap acts as a covering.
