Bebe au Lait Premium Cotton Nursing Cover, Lightweight and Breathable Cotton, Open Neckline, One Size Fits All - Acapulco

I have to admit I first tried to save a few bucks and bought a cheaper nursing cover from one of the big chain stores thinking it would work the same. I could not have been more wrong. After using that cheap nursing cover ONCE I was turned off by it's cheap thin fabric and I felt like I was trying to cover up with a washcloth it was so small. So I gave in and ordered one of these Bebe Au Lait nursing covers hoping the price would be worth it... While you could always sew one of your own (or have a friend who's handy with the sewing machine make you one!) I found the Bebe Au Lait to be well worth the price. I think this fabric is lovely and classy! It's made with much more care and quality than the chain store cheap version I bought first, so I advise against making the same mistake I made. There are just a few baby products I feel are simply worth the extra cost - the Boppy, the Sophie giraffe, etc - and this item has made the list. I especially appreciate the two pockets which are the perfect size for my Lansinoh breast pads and make it so easy to discreetly change pads. The second pocket (since there are two!) I use for my Latch Assist. The pockets are also made of terry cloth to help you wipe up any moisture, a fantastic detail! Yesterday I found I was even able to tighten the strap easily with one hand during a feeding. The curved boning which allows you to see your baby has held up well after being stuffed into the diaper bag for a few weeks now. Finally, the main point with this product is to cover up! The Bebe Au Lait is large enough for me to feel comfortable breastfeeding in almost any setting while still allowing me a view of my baby. I'm all for public breastfeeding and moms have the right to do so, not all moms feel the need to cover up and that's ok with me because breastfeeding is natural and beautiful. But that said, many moms prefer privacy and more personal modesty when it comes to breastfeeding and this nursing cover is such a benefit to us. I'm very pleased with this purchase, this will definitely be one of the first items I think of as a baby shower gift for my friends!

The first time around, my wife tried to use a receiving blanket, or a blanket with a neck loop attached. Needless to say, our baby hated either of these and threw them off. With our second baby, we tried a couple different nursing cover, and ANY real nursing cover is MUCH better because it has lighter, breathable fabric, and more importantly, it has a built in ring that gives it some shape at the top. This makes a window where Mommy can see Baby, Baby can see Mommy, and it keeps Baby from feeling smothered. All good things! The two models we tried were the Bebe au Lait Premium Cotton Nursing Cover and the Udder Covers brand. Our feeling was that you get what you pay for. The Bebe au Lait is definitely better, but to be fair, it costs 2-2.5x as much. Features that make the Bebe au Lait better are that the ring at the top is nicer--more of a rounded D-shape, whereas the Udder Cover one has a flimsy-feeling V-shape one. The fabric is also nicer on the Bebe au Lait: it's smoother/softer, and it's a little bigger, so it provides more coverage if Baby is wiggly. The terry-cloth pockets were never particularly useful as pockets for us, though the blotting was occasionally useful during the frequent spit-up phase. They are, however, nice in that they provide just a little bit of weighting for it. For that reason, I would call the Bebe au Lait nursing cover the Cadillac model. The Udder Cover one is, however, a perfectly serviceable Toyota. (It does even have one advantage: it's smaller. It takes up less space in a diaper bag, and it's even small enough that I can easily stuff it in the pocket of my cargo shorts whereas the Bebe au Lait one is too big and bulky to be comfortable.) My advice is to get a Bebe au Lait If you're going to be using it at all regularly; it is worth the one-time cost to get one as your primary nursing cover. The Udder Cover one makes a great backup to use when you're washing your main one, or if you need to stash a spare somewhere.

This is a great nursing cover. With my son, I would usually just go into a dressing room or out to the car if I had to nurse him while we were out and about. Well, forget about that when you have 2! I can't believe I didn't buy one of these sooner! I can't think of one thing wrong with this, it's just great. Nice design (pretty, but subtle), easily adjustable neck tie, wire thingy that helps you to see what's going on down there (genious!). I didn't think much about the absorbant "pockets" on the inside bottom corners, but they have actually come in handy for spitup. Also, this folds up to be very compact...I fold it in half so that the wire part is very loosely folded, then just start rolling....it ends up about the size of a long hot dog and sits hiding at the bottom of my diaper bag until I need it. The only thing its missing are heavy metal anchors to keep it in place against a baby who is *determined* to see what's going on out there:) But then, I guess that would be a liability issue :oP

I had a nursing cover that was also a car seat cover but it was so tight it was extremely uncomfortable to wear and breastfeed in public. Baby and I were going to be going on a plane ride soon and needed a better cover and this one was perfect! It was loose but still covered me and it let me have perfect view of baby while I was feeding without exposing myself. It was a great buy and is super cute! Also has cloth like corners which were a life saver when he would spit up a little and all I had to do was lift the corner and wipe his face!

I am not being paid to write this. Promise. Just a nursing mama helping others. I like to cover up when nursing in public. And this cover is perfect. It’s so easy to see your baby. And it creates this intimate experience with your baby. I just put two rocks in each pocket and it stays down if windy. Size is perfect. Nothing I would change. Get it !

Ich habe mir das Stillcape nach Vorbild einer Amerikanerin gekauft. In den USA benutzt wohl jeder so ein Stillcape. Das Stillcape sieht schön aus, der Halsausschnitt ist einstellbar je nach dem wie lang oder kurz man es braucht. Innen sind zwei Baumwolltäschchen in die man Schnuller, Stillhütchen oder sonst was rein tun kann. Ich benutze die Täschchen zum Babymund abwischen. Oben am Stillcape ist es verstärkt mit einem Draht damit man wie durch ein Guckloch auf das Kind heruntersehen kann. Es bedarf durchaus etwas Übung es stressfrei anzuwenden (wir haben es zu Hause ab und zu geübt), und es wird im Sommer auch richtig warm unter dem Vorhang, aber wenn man an Orten ist wo man nicht den Busen blank auspacken will (Restaurant oder Cafe oder im Zug) ist das Stillcape super. Ich habe auch nicht immer Lust auf dem Klo zu stillen o.ä. und so kann ich ganz diskret stillen, ohne dass ich mich beobachtet fühle oder andere sich gestört fühlen (was es ja immer noch gibt leider). Ich habe es mir gekauft da ich eine sehr grosse Brust habe, und daher eher nicht "diskret" stillen kann. Und es erfüllt seinen Zweck und sieht auch noch schön aus dazu. Empfehlenswert!

Per chi allatta è semplicemente l'ideale, ben fatto e di ottima qualità. Si allatta in tutta tranquillità ovunque ci si trova.

Apesar de que no le ha gustado a mi bebe para lo que yo pretendía ( cubrir quando le estuviera dando el pecho) se saca mucho provecho cuando pega sol al carrito o maxicosi del nene, para abrigar le sin pasarse, para proteger del viento o como sabanita en algún apuro en la calle. 1001 funciones.

I am delighted with this product, as is my friend for whom I bought one as a xmas gift. I spent a long time reading reviews for covers as it was not something which the antenatal classes covered when they told us about breast feeding. This cover is great from day one until you wean your baby as it is large and covers well. The baby can get a little warm under the cover but it is big enough to move it for a little airflow while maintaining your dignity! It is easy to be seduced into buying the more fashionable designs of covers, but this one is so practical especially when the babies get older and start to wriggle. very nice design and quality, well worth the money.
