To Nurse Discreetly …
July 2, 2010
I always felt self-conscious nursing my baby girl in public. I am a very private person and just did not feel comfortable breastfeeding my daughter outside of the house. So for the first couple months of my daughter’s life, I would rush home from wherever I was, from whatever I was doing, to nurse my baby. It was never easy to find a private place to nurse while out. And I hated having to fumble with bulky blankets and worrying about whether I was fully covered or not.
Then I discovered something called a nursing cover. It soon became an invaluable accessory and definitely made my life a lot easier. I first noticed a few of my mommy group friends using a cover while nursing, and was amazed that they were able to do this so discreetly and with such ease. Both mommy and baby were fully covered!
So I rushed out to the closest baby boutique in my area, and picked myself up a Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover. This nursing cover allowed me to nurse my baby discreetly and in style! It did not draw attention to me. Using a nursing cover gave me some new-found freedom as it also gave me the flexibility and confidence to breastfeed my daughter anytime, anywhere … in restaurants, parks, mommy classes, doctor’s office, friends’ houses and shopping malls. Without one, I would have felt too stressed and uncomfortable to nurse in public.
Now this was no ordinary cover. The nursing covers available on the market today are hip, stylish and very fashionable. You can choose from many beautiful colours and patterns. An extra bonus is that the nursing cover can double as a thin blanket/shield for the baby. Many of the latest hip nursing covers come with the following features:
- Rigid neckline – allows you to maintain constant eye contact with your baby
- Beautiful, stylish designs
- Adjustable strap
- Full coverage of both baby and mom
- Folds compactly to fit in diaper bag
- Doubles as a wrap/blanket/shield for baby
- Ease of use
- Small pocket
