NURSING BEADS
If you are nursing, you have probably experienced a nursling who just doesn't know what to do with his hands while nursing. He will either pull your hair, check your teeth, pinch your breast or all of the above!
Well, this is very normal and sometimes very endearing having our children examine us this way, BUT, sometimes, we could use a distraction to keep their hands busy in other places.
SO, our local group is selling NURSING BEADS!!
These are beautiful beads that are very original in design, knotted off with a very strong leather-like cord and about 36 inches in length.
All only $10.00.
**ALL of the profits made on these beads go directly into our local group's treasury. However, La Leche League International is not responsible in any way for these beads. We have made every attempt to insure that this necklace is sturdy. However, should the necklace come undone, these beads can become a choking hazard. Therefore, please do not EVER leave your child unsupervised while these beads are being used, they are designed to be worn by Mom or Dad only, NOT BABY!**

MAYA WRAP BABY SLING
For centuries parents all over the world have carried their children in simply constructed carriers because babies want and need to be carried, but parents still need two free hands. Maya Wrap Slings are also based on simplicity. They blend the vibrant beauty of Guatemalan fabric with ease of use and versatility.
ADVANTAGES OF THE MAYA WRAP
- Maya Wrap Baby Carriers keep you in direct contact with your baby for constant bonding. This is important because studies suggest carried babies cry less and are more content. They spend more time in a state of quiet alertness - the optimal state for learning. Visual alertness increases as they view their environment.
- It has no padding which makes it very adjustable around your baby's shoulders, back and legs.
- It takes only seconds to slip on a Maya Wrap and set your child in a reclining, front, side, hip or back position.
- It has a open tail which is great coverage for discrete nursing.
- The Maya Wrap Sling is very versatile as it is usable as a harness, shopping cart strap, blanket in the winter and shade in the summer. It can also be used as a changing pad or a clean play area for your baby.
- It does not have to be removed when your child is placed in his car seat or stroller since it is very lightweight. Great for moving a sleeping child.
- Small enough to fit into your diaper bag so you are never without it.
- One size fits many.

We are carrying medium slings in stock with the following fabric choices:
Solid Black
Chambray
Sage/Black

$35.00 each
