I actually think using a cover is less discrete, but if there's a lot going on around us, LO can't focus on the task at hand without the cover. I find the cover to be easier to use than a blanket for the same reasons other cover users have listed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86236 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:33:09 +0000 Downward Dog 86236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was planning to use just a blanket, but I had a lot of trouble getting a good latch in the beginning, and you can't see what's going on under the blanket. The cover is good because it has a piece of plastic that creates a little window. Much more discrete than putting my head under the blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86233 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:19:44 +0000 pastemoo 86233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Me, too.<br /> I am planning on using an official cover because it seems more convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86229 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:00:30 +0000 cupcakemama 86229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the udder cover one. It was great! LO tended to swat at the cover so if I used just a wrap then I would end up exposed. Having something anchored around my neck was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86074 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:20:14 +0000 chopsuey 86074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bebe au lait.. I don't usually have to nurse in public since I'm not out for long periods of time. I do use it on flights and every once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86065 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:16:59 +0000 lemondrop 86065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know to hang onto it for later when he gets more grabby. I got one as a hand me down from my SIL, and haven't used it yet at 8 weeks. </p> <p>I was carrying it in my diaper bag, but started leaving it in the car since I never use it. Sounds like I'll need it later on, but for now I just use the A&amp;A swaddles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86061 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:10:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 86061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use the bebe au lait cover. olive is not a fan, but i don't want to be exposing my boob to the world when i have to nurse her at the playground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-86032 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:33:35 +0000 mamimami 86032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A blanket. I tuck it behind my shoulder and hold the other end under the babe. Some covers are cute but they look sort of like bibs. (In fact I think in Spanish they call them nursing bibs!) I am not into bibs for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85990 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:51:48 +0000 His Barista 85990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a nursing cover (cheap...like $10). I plan on using it in public, and then not worrying about it at home unless we have visitors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85976 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:28:44 +0000 Schmei 85976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got that cover as a gift, and lately I've been using it if I'm nursing in a place with distractions - a group of talking people, ceiling fans, etc - because my little guy is so interested in everything that nursing takes FOREVER without it. And he's a wiggler, so blankets fall off pretty fast. Having the strap that goes around my neck is really handy because he can't pull it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85965 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:06:00 +0000 Maysprout 85965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use an A+A swaddle, I felt like it was more discrete, most people just thought she was sleeping. It was easier before she became such a grabby fingers but it still works. I wear an over shirt and an undershirt so there's really no extra skin that can be seen when I nurse. The blankets just more because people seem offended by the sight of the back of a nursing baby's head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85935 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:33:11 +0000 Mrsbells 85935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a deal for a free nursing cover from udder covers, I only had to pay for the shipping and the cover itself was free. I think it will be easier to nurse with a cover than to use a blanket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85934 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:31:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 85934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the AA when she was little but now she's bigger and pulls on stuff I do use a nursing cover (like an apron). Its nice she can't pull it down but she still pulls on the sides and sometimes flashes some people. </p> <p>Usually I just wear two shirts (pull one down and the other one up) so you can't see much anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85274 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:35:54 +0000 autumnlove 85274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Bebe cover and I like it a lot! The material is nice and the cover is long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85272 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:34:56 +0000 Rubies 85272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use a cover if I'm in a nursing room with other breastfeeding mothers - I just pull my shirt down as much as I can so as to not be flashing anyone. If I have to breastfeed in front other strangers or in a really public place, I'll just throw my scarf or a sweater over LO's head/my shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85270 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:34:14 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 85270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Baby Au Lait, but it was easier to use an A+A blanket when he was small. When he was bigger and would squirm more, the nursing cover was better because he would just pull a blanket off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-use-a-breastfeeding-cover#post-85262 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:30:35 +0000 mediagirl 85262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get a breastfeeding cover (like this one) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bebe-Lait-Nursing-Cover-Chocolate/dp/B001CCHUTE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1330630149&#038;sr=8-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bebe-Lait-Nursing-Cover-Chocolate/dp/B001CCHUTE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1330630149&#038;sr=8-4</a> or do you just use a blanket of some sort to cover yourself while feeding in public (or around friends or family)? Or.. do you just let it all hang out there?</p> <p>My plan was just to use one of my Aden + Anais swaddles to cover up during feedings. </p>
