I have this one. It sits neatly folded in the nursery. Only used it once. LO does not appreciate being covered.

I always liked to wear a nursing tank under my shirts in the early days. But I was way more concerned about people seeing my stomach than my breasts. I have weird priorities. My girls never tolerated a cover. Could you maybe borrow from someone, or get one from a friend who is done with theirs rather than buying new? Just in cases you decide to not use it?

I have one similar to the one above and have used it a handful if times. It felt too hot in the summer. I usually will use an A&A blanket and just tuck a corner into my bra or tank strap on my shoulder. Or now that it's cooler I'm ok with layering a sweater over a nursing tank and just pulling the sweater up- I prefer having the top of my boobs covered as well as my belly.

I have a Bebe au Lait nursing cover that I liked early on. I also sewed myself a similar one based on the tutorial from the Prudent Baby blog ( http://prudentbaby.com/2010/01/baby-kid/diy-nursing-cover-2/). It was pretty easy, as I am a very novice sewer. Those were nice early on, and I liked the boning in the neckline so I could see to latch him. I have rarely used them beyond 4 months or so, though I still do from time to time.

Now if I use a cover I reach for another one I made based on this tutorial: http://www.thecoterieblog.com/2012/05/diy-modern-nursing-shawl-sew-one-line.html

It's for a nursing shawl, and it's more comfortable, offers more coverage, and is less in your face about being a cover. It also required me to sew a single line of fabric, so it was an easy beginning sewer project. More often than not, though, I just use the two shirts method. I wear a camisole or nursing tank under my shirt, the shirt goes up and the cami goes down. The shirt covers his head, the cami covers my belly, and we don't need to bring anything extra.

I have a couple of nursing covers---from Eddie Bauer and another brand. I also have a nursing scarf. I don't really like the scarf that much. It doesn't look good when I'm trying to wear it normally. I also feel like the cover just fits over me and my 1 baby. Right now she doesn't really like the covers so I'm now trying to get her used to them so we can nurse around others with it.

I registered for a pretty nursing cover but I never used it. It was just too warm. I ended us using a very lightweight one from a friend. It was hideous like a circus tent but it got the job done. A few months in I gave up on covers altogether.

I have a Balboa Baby cover- it's nice and light and well structured, but I only used it twice and I think it's still somewhere in the car. I hate carrying much in my diaper bag, so it was the first thing to go. Since I always had an A&A blanket on me, I just bunched it up to cover the goods.

This is something I'd recommend buying cheap at a second hand store to see if you and babies even like it.

I have one like @oliviaoblivia: posted by Bebe au lait that I used with DS. We hated it! It was terribly hot for him and awkward. I mostly went without it and we either managed covering with whatever clothing I was wearing or using an A&A blanket.

For this baby I am making an infinity type scarf one. They look amazing and so simple to DIY. I got some light-to-medium weight cotton jersey so it's breathable for us both.
