Breastfeeding Covers
Help for Nursing in Public Discreetly

By Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, About.com

Breastfeeding your baby is a special thing. Though some women prefer to do so covered up, usually when in public places or around other people. While this is by no means necessary, if it helps you or your baby nurse more efficiently, then these breastfeeding covers will help you without the hassle of a blanket.

1. Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover

The Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover comes in a wide variety of very stylish prints, none of which are babyish. Simply slip the nursing cover over your head and over the baby and you're all set to nurse discreetly. The neckline on the Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover is held up allowing you to see your baby, hands free, while you nurse, while not allowing others to peak in. This leaves your hands to hold the baby and nurse, while being able to view your baby through the entire breastfeeding session.

The NursEase was designed by a doctor to help mothers breastfeed discreetly. It's lightweight and fits into your diaper bag easily. The nursing cover offers you complete view, while preventing others from seeing what you're doing. The generous fabric also has a pocket for a nursing pad or other small item. The fabrics are also available in organic cottons.

The Moboleez Nursing Hat is pretty spiffy! I've always been one who nurses in public but some babies are better at allowing you to remain covered. This prevents that from being an issue and it's cute to boot! A great idea for someone who wants to nurse in public but not show everything.
