I made this nursing cover before I had the baby. I had never used a nursing cover before with my other 2 children. I was not sure how I would like this cover, but after using it almost everyday for the last week or so I can honestly say that I love it.
I am not a fan of public nursing (for myself, I don’t mind if others do it as long as we don’t get a glimpse of the boobies), but I actually used this cover to nurse at McDonald’s today and it worked so well. I was completely covered and I could still see the baby.
Also, I (well actually my mother-in-law) washed this cover and it still held its shape. I did iron it because it was a little wrinkled. If you can sew at all, I would encourage you to make this cover. If you know someone that sews maybe you could have them make you one. It really is a great cover that is worth trying out! It works for me!

I really like mine, too. Thanks! Though…I’ve only really used it once when my dad was coming “over.” I haven’t had the chance to use it in public…just the thought of nursing in public (if I ever get there again) is a little scary let alone adding another layer of fabric. I should practice.

congrats on your new little man! i’m proud of you for having a natural birth — our guy was born that was as will be this next baby, barring complications. i truly think it’s best for mom and baby but it takes a lot of guts! great job!!
