No2 is due in March and as I've a very active toddler, I thought I'd research wraps/slings to use when breastfeeding so that I was hands free and mobile if needed. No1 was a very slow feeder, taking up to an hour every 2/3 hours for first few weeks and I'm afraid my toddler will get very bored and up to mischief if it's the same again. After some research, I keep coming back to the Maya wrap, but have yet to meet someone who's used a wrap effectively, esp with a newborn. Any advice/hints/tips etc would be very very welcome!
Thanks

I sold mine when DS was 4 weeks as he didn't like the lying down position at all. Never got as far as trying to BF in it, but we found it tough at first. Got a Didymos, much better for DS and he felt lighter in it.

HI, I have a Huggababy, which is similar to a Maya, as in it being a Ringsling aswell!
Must admit, I personally didn't get the hang of feeding in it until my lil one was like 6 month old...but, I was very set in the position I found comfortable to feed him in...it is definately a matter of learning I would think
I know a few Cyuberfriends that were able to bf in a Maywrap or other ringsling...so, it is doable!
\link{http://www.thebabywearer.com} has got forums aswell, I am sure you would be able to get loads of info there
