World Breastfeeding Week: Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover Review {&} Giveaway

My style of parenting has changed drastically with each of my boys. One of the many things that was different between them was my view of nursing in public. This can become a very heated debate between people. Modest little first time mom me was very shy about nursing in public. Not only would I find a very private place, but I'd pop a cover over top of me and if possible, turn around backwards as well. No chance of anybody seeing anything! Less modest second time mom me decided it wasn't worth the effort. Nursing covers - absolutely! But other than that, it was not worth my time and effort to try to be discreet. If people didn't want to see then they could look the other way. And if people did want to see, well, more power to them. {Though honestly, there wasn't much to see!} 

The first cover I bought was one that went all the way around you. Both my kids hated it. It's hot underneath and it's difficult for me to see them. I wasn't very happy with it either. 

Bebe Au Lait makes gorgeous nursing covers. They are more of an apron style but have a curved top so you can see your baby. I like this feature because it is so important to me to be able to see my baby {is there really anything sweeter than watching a baby nurse?} and I know my baby wants to be able to see me as well. It's important to have that sweet bond even when using a cover. You can see the curved top in the pictures below. You can also see the ring on the neck strap - this allows you to adjust the height of the cover to meet your needs. 

 

Please ignore my make-up less face and my ugly hair in these pictures!! 

But perhaps my favorite feature of the Bebe Au Lait nursing cover is the terry cloth pockets on the bottom corners. These pockets are perfect for holding small items such as a pacifier, burp rag, or even your nursing pads! Plus the terry cloth material is perfect for wiping baby's mouth when they have finished nursing. This is a feature I have not seen in any other nursing covers. 

Overall, I really really like this nursing cover. Unfortunately for me, my boys do not. I think if I had used a cover like this from the beginning they would, but Jordan got so used to not using a cover that now he does not like being underneath this. I am hoping to use this from the beginning if we ever have another baby because I love this cover!! And did I mention they come in lots of gorgeous prints?! Bebe Au Lait nursing covers can also be used as carseat or stroller covers, sun shades, or even a light blanket for baby. Bebe Au Lait covers are machine washable and are packaged with recycled and recyclable materials.
