Rec your nursing cover and a NIP question

siajarasiajara member
in April 2011 Moms

I am looking for recommendations for a nursing cover.  I think I had heard of ones where you can still see LO while nursing?

Also, so far we have only nursed at home and I am always using the My Brest Friend pillow.  I am very intimidated by trying to nurse LO without it (and I am not going to wear it in public!).  Do you have any tips and/or suggestions?  Is it really just practice makes perfect and I should try not using it to nurse so I get used to that?  Or are you figuring out other ways to prop LO up when you nurse in public?

 

TIA!

    I have the Balboa Baby nursing cover here:

    The cover is great, and yes, you can see baby because it bows out a little at the top. As far as NIP, try nursing at home without the pillow a couple of times so you can figure out how to hold LO comfortably. It usually helps me to lift my knee up a little higher to help use as a prop. Otherwise, I just use my arm.

    I have never used a nursing pillow, if my arm needs support I just cross my leg and use the leg on top for support, does that make sense? I also don't use a nursing cover, to me that would look more conspicuous, I just place my shirt strategically over most of my boob and throw a blanket around her, not over her head...no one is the wiser, GL!

    This is what I do every time.  LO came a little earlier than we expected and I never got around to buying a nursing pillow beforehand so I learned how to do it this way and it works just fine. 

    I also just use a little blanket to cover myself if I need to.  I'm all about minimizing the amount of stuff I need to take with me because I think it makes going places less intimidating.
