Udder Covers (Nursing Cover-up)

Submitted by Esper

I’ve never been the type of breastfeeding mother to cover up while nursing, but since Udder Covers was having a promotion at a great price awhile back, I couldn’t pass it up. Udder Covers is a nursing cover that goes over baby as he nurses. It has a strap that loops around your neck and is adjustable. It comes in a variety of beautiful designs and colors. The promotion at the time was for either blue or pink, so I chose a simple baby blue cover.

The cover is made up of a lightweight and breathable cotton material. It is large enough to cover baby as he eats, but still not large enough to cover a moving toddler, such as my own. What I like about it is that it is not hot at all and still gives me the option of covering up, if I really needed to. However, I find it can actually attract more attention to use it as I have a moving toddler underneath, so this would work better for someone with an infant instead.

My favorite part is the boning in the neck area that allows you to see baby as you nurse. In the beginning, when I would occasionally use a blanket to cover up, it was both hot and covered baby’s face. I didn’t like that I couldn’t see him. The boning on my Udder Covers nursing cover is shaped in a V shape and stays open to view baby as he nurses. My son calls it his tent and actually enjoys nursing under it.

I would recommend this for new mothers who want a little discreetness as they nurse, but want to remain cool while doing so and have the option of still seeing their baby underneath. I also recommend looking on their homepage to find out about any promotional codes to save you some money on your purchase.
