For the first 2-3 months I used a cover. After that her head was big enough to hide my boob from view, and it just looks like we're cuddling

I rarely used a cover. Occasionally I would use an AA blanket if I felt I needed to be more discreet.

It changed depending on how comfortable we were, where I was, who I was with... Early on if i was with other mom friends, often just an a&a blanket over my shoulder. With mixed company friends usually I did use a cover, or once at my sisters bridal shower used a cover. By the end she was very efficient so no cover usually, I'd just find someplace quieter and more discreet.

I mostly did the swaddle blanket tucked into my bra strap to keep it loosely in place. It was smaller to carry around anyway and felt less contrasting to Lo. But for the early, loooong sessions every time we went out to eat (all meals were eaten one handed) a real cover was helpful.

I tried to use a cover with my first but it was a ridiculous disaster. So I started feeding uncovered and do the same with my second baby. The only time I would feel the need to cover now (I'd just use an A&A blanket) would be in the presence of my dad, FIL or granddad, but I suspect they would just leave the room anyway.

I had a nursing tank (because I didn't like my belly exposed) and a nursing cover. When she was 6 mo old, I didn't nurse in public anymore. If she was hungry, I fed her a snack. ...except, I did nurse her on a plane and then i just used my a & a blanket tied around my neck.

At the start I tried to mess around covering with muslins and it just ended up being another thing to worry about. So very quickly I just didn't bother with covering at all.

I usually used a cover (not one of the "loud" ones but I hadn't even of the ponchos that look like you could wear them). I also almost always had on a nursing tank under my shirt so I could pull up my shirt and unclip my tank so very little was exposed if I didn't have a cover.

I usually had a nursing tank, sometimes under a shirt that a bit of give in the neckline (like a cowl neck), and I would try to find a discreet place (I'd sit on the inner side of a booth at a restaurant, maybe). There was rarely boob hanging out. But E didn't like covers...he would always pull them off, so I never really bothered. I wouldn't like being covered up when I was eating either.

I hated the covers, and I find blankets hard especially now at 5 months she's constantly on/off during feeding. I usually do the double shirt (nursing tank or nursing bra/tank top plus other shirt on top). the top shirt covers the majority of my exposed breast. I find it easier now that's shes older and can hold her head up better. If she pops off I tend to cover my nipple with my hand until she wants more. I'm now comfortable feeding pretty much anywhere, but in the early days it was just too much of a production and needed a bit more of a private space to do it.

I voted for other because it was sort of "all of the above"...

When LO was a newborn I had a cover purchased and we used it fine. Then at one point when he started realizing that he was covered, he disliked it and was distracted, so we no longer could use it. I always has breastfeeding tanks which works out great, and my boobs are relatively small, so eventually we ditched the covers and I don't BF covered. It is still quite discreet because his head basically covers my entire boob. So I guess my cover was his head haha.

I tried a cover a few times and hated it, so then just used a light blanket, but eventually stopped with that because LO just pulled at it all the time and it was a pain to keep in place. I always wore a tank top under whatever shirt I wore so my belly stayed covered.

E has always hated a cover. I either wear nursing tops or Tami tanks from old navy (sometimes with another shirt sometimes not). I try to just nurse him quietly and these days without the crazy gymnastics that comes with nursing a busy toddler.

I nursed with a cover with LO1 and just got a nursing scarf for LO2. I gave used it three times so far and like that it covers front and back and stays on your shoulder. LO is only 9 weeks so he still takes a minute or two to successfully latch so I feel more comfortable covered up for now. Although one of the times was at church so I think I would probably stay covered (in the pew) so I didn't shock anyone into making me move to the baby room.

I used a nursing cover exactly once. If I need coverage I just use a muslin blanket near my shoulder but I really dont usually care

For my first I always covered for this one I do the pull the tank top down and my shirt up trick. I'm covered and she gets to eat without a blanket on her head. She's a very hot-natured kid too.

I've tried several things, but what works for us best is either nothing, or an A+A swaddle tied in a knot around my neck and sort of hanging in the middle. I don't use it to cover LO up or over his head, because sweaty! Instead, it's discretely covering most of my upper chest, and is ready to soak up milk spray when he pops off suddenly, or when he drools. It's multi-functional!

Depended on where I was and how old my kiddo was. When she was little and took forever, I wore a hooter hider type thing. Then an A&A blanket and then I didn't care because she got faster and more efficient.

I feel most comfortable using an actual cover because usually when I'm nursing in public I'm doing other things at the same time (eating, chasing around the toddler) etc.

My boobs are small, and with a nursing tank under a t-shirt or button-up, I always felt covered enough.

Also, I struggled so much with BFing issues that using a cover just wasn't on my radar.

My go to method is t shirt over tank top, t shirt up tank down. Then when he inevitably pops off 1 million times I can quickly pull the t shirt over. With a blanket, he just acts crazy and would make it much more noticeable punching and kicking the blanket flailing about. Never tried an actual cover though.
