NIP clicky

I find using a nursing cover to be a real pain but I don't feel like I'm good enough yet to do it without a cover without making a spectacle of myself.  [Poll]

Re: NIP clicky

  • I use a cover ocassionally but a light blanket more often. I have NIP without anything if my shirt can cover me. DD is getting grabby and distractible so I doubt there will be many more times without!

  • I use one, but I hate it! She gets so hot and fussy under there, I just want to rip it off and whip my boob out.

  • With my DD I always would cover.  I asked my DH if he would have a problem with me not covering with this one and he said no, so I will probably do more uncovered this time around than covered.  Mainly because it's just easier.

  • If I'm in really close quarters with strangers I'll use one (bench style at a restaurant for example) also if I'm in church or somewhere more conservative. Otherwise no cover, it's just a recipe for disaster. She likes to wave it around.

  • I do a nursing tank/tshirt combo.  I feel relatively covered up with that combo which is good bc LO would flip if I tried to put something over her face, and to be honest I don't blame her.

    This.  I use the undercover mama nursing tanks and a shirt that is loose enough to easily pull up.  I also use the shirt to cover the top portion of the breast.  I used a cover until DD was about 4mos when she decided that it was no longer okay.  I was super nervous at first because I wanted so bad to be modest but it was getting warmer and I don't blame DD for not wanting to be covered up.

    Currently going through our second deployment. Can't wait for Zoe to meet her daddy!

  • It took until DS1 was 2.5 months before I felt comfortable with nursing in public at all. Before then, it took awhile to get him latched, etc, so I wasn't comfortable with it.

    I've also used a ring sling or a beach towel as a cover when I had over-the-top clothing on. You guys will get there!

    This! I sometimes use an A&A blanket and find it easier than my nursing cover though.

  • I love my bebe au lait nursing cover. The rigid neckline makes it easy to see DD. It also makes it a little more breatable. I hate using a regular blanket. It only works if DD doesn't move and stays latched perfectly, imo.

    My motto is that if I wouldn't show it while not nursing then I won't show it while nursing. I also have enormous size f boobs with gigantic aereolas to match. It is really hard for me to nurse modestly with out a cover. From getting latched to her deciding to pull off without notice, I just wouldn't feel comfortable not using one.

    This. The only time I use my cover (an Udder Cover) is when I'm nursing while wearing her in a carrier, that way I'm still hands-free to do whatever with my older girls.
