Problems solved by technology

When breastfeeding, a mother typically exposes the upper portions of her torso, which may make her uncomfortable if located in a public or highly trafficked area.

Conventional nursing covers are also problematic because they are difficult to wear and keep around the mother's upper torso and the baby.

Further baby movements may cause the covering to slip or completely fall off of the mother and baby.

With currently breastfeeding covers mothers are physically restricted in their ability to manage the baby, or other items will be breastfeeding the baby all while securing and maintaining a conventional cover, wrap, or sheet in place while breastfeeding her baby.

At present, there are no nursing covers available that rise up from the waist from a waist bag and there is not any existing well ventilated, nor canopy-like covering.

Available nursing covers on the market are limited in that they do not provide adequate ventilation for the infant, they do not allow for easy visualization of the infant while nursing or adjusting, and they do not offer good airflow for the mother to keep cool and comfortable.

Other nursing covers are very uncomfortable in the summer months, being that they are similar to adding a layer of clothing or blanket.

Available nursing covers on the market may put infants at risk for suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome.
