She will bat at it with her arms or kick it with her feet, but not in an "I'm irritated at it" sort of way. I think it's more because she's a bigger and more active baby than before (6 months old now). I still use it sometimes though. But nowadays I usually nurse in public with a nursing tank under a regular shirt. Or I have a nursing t-shirt by the company Boob that covers the chest area and has easy access. I also have something called Undercover Mama. You wear it under any shirt... it hides your belly (its like a tube top with loops that hang onto any nursing bra (won it at a raffle at a parenting expo!). And since it's cold now, I also use my scarf for a little cover-up as well. It just looks like I'm holding a sleeping baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52668 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:42:55 +0000 Red 52668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was okay with it until maybe 7 months. By then, she had better control of her hands and would try to pull it. She was also easily distracted so most of the time, I just nurse in the car tp avoid distractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52655 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:50:32 +0000 EmmeBaby 52655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little girls hates my cover. I've tried a blanket too. I will now try tank and shirt over, that may be an easier option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52567 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:37:58 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 52567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the AA blanket. I need the nursing cover now, though, because he would totally fling off a blanket now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52564 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:31:51 +0000 chopsuey 52564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's never had a problem with my bebe au lait cover. Now that she's bigger she'll grab and swat at it, but once the milk starts flowing she stops trying to expose my boob. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52551 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:59:18 +0000 autumnlove 52551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have a udder cover which my LO hates! I will try an aa blanket... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52498 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:15:55 +0000 BoogieBea 52498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as maysprout. I just use one of the a&amp;a swaddle blankets. I try to first find the most descrete place to nurse. The blanket covers her head and meets the part of the shirt that's lifted up. Once they're settled into nursing, I can usually pull up the blanket more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52482 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:06:40 +0000 Maysprout 52482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use a lightweight muslin swaddle and if she is irritated with it over her then I just kinda use it to block the side of her. I'll wear a v-neck tank and then a shirt over top. Top layer is lifted, v-neck tank stays in place, swaddle goes on outside side of baby. You'd have to be superman to see anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-hate-a-nursing-cover#post-52474 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:35:56 +0000 Mrs. Bee 52474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have successfully nursed in public a number of times - yay! </p> <p>But Olive is irritated and distracted by the nursing cover. Does your baby hate the nursing cover? How do you nurse in public? </p>
