At seven months post-partum, I still have some extra stuff hanging around the mid section of my body, which is usually covered, unless I am breast feeding. When we’re out the baby insists on kicking off the nursing cover, showing off more than I would like him to.

Modest Middles innovative tank fits nicely under your clothes to keep your body covered while you feed your baby.

It’s cool design features a ‘cut-out’ underneath your bra that gives you easy access when you need to nurse. It was designed to be worn under your regular shirt to give you coverage when you lift your shirt to nurse.

This is especially useful for moms who have stretch marks or scars they want to keep covered.

I like this better than wearing a cami when I’m out because I need the extra support of a bra plus the body coverage. Modest Middles offers both.

Available in 3 colors Black, Nude and White for $29.99ea. (Discounts offered when more than one)

Now that the nice weather is here, I find myself feeding the baby outside a lot. Even though I use my nursing cover, my sides and back are exposed showing off my baby handles to all who stroll by.

Etsy vendor LaDyLaDuke has created a cool nursing cover called the ‘feeding frock‘($59). The dress like cover slides over your clothes, while wrapping around your neck to cover you and the baby fully. This prevents your baby from kicking the cover off while your are nursing in public, something that has happened to me about a million times.

The added bonus: these frocks are really cute and very fashionable.

I love that they are oversized and adorned with bows and ruffles to give your nursing experience a designer twist.

Priced from $29 – $59

Practical parents looking for baby products that will last longer than a couple weeks will love the Sprout Shell.

This chic looking infant seat cover pulls triple duty as a nursing cover and cart cover.

More practical than a traditional blanket because of its elastic and stretch, Sprout Shell won’t fall off or blow away, and fits over virtually any infant carrier. More importantly, it is the only carrier cover on the market that is also multi-functional. An anytime, anywhere 3-in-1 accessory that is stylish, functional and practical, Sprout Shell can be used as:

1. An Infant Carrier Cover – Fits over any carrier handle to create a tent-like enclosure that protects infants from the elements and creates privacy. (The hole in the top provides a secure grip on the handle and view of the baby inside, while blocking wind, rain, dust, sun and nosy strangers.)
2. A Nursing Cover – By placing the hole over the head and around the shoulders, the Sprout Shell can cover the infant when on the go. The elastic prevents the infant from kicking it off and mom is sure to stay covered too.
3. A Shopping Cart Cover – Keep infant away from germs found on shopping carts by using Sprout Shell as the barrier. Baby will stay clean, while mom maintains a piece of mind. (Can also be used for highchairs.)

Having tried many methods of covering up, I can confidently say that the Itzy Ritzy Nursing Cover is the nicest, most mom friendly covers I have come across.

Using a nursing cover allows moms to feel confident to breast feed anywhere without feeling anxious.

The Itzy Ritzy Nursing cover will turn heads with it’s elegance.

We recently received our new cover. Here is what I liked:

• It offers comfort for mom and baby - Moms will love the generous size of this cover and babies will love the soft bamboo terry-like lining, which can be also used to clean up spills.
• Designed with you in mind - The collar of the Itzy Ritzy is lined with a convenient boning so that you can see what the baby is up to without tugging or adjusting. This also allows for ventilation, as well as direct eye contact with the baby. I particularly like this feature because my son used to kick my old cover off because he wanted to see what was going on.
• If offers protection for the baby - On hot days, the cover can act as a sunshade to protect your baby from UV rays. This is especially convenient for babies under 6 months, as they are not allowed to wear sun protection.
• Stylish - Available in 18 prints, this cover was developed with all moms in mind. The oversized lucite buckle also adds style and makes the collar easy to adjust.

*Toddler bonus – Sometimes a new baby can be difficult for toddlers to understand… especially during breast-feeding.

Mini-Me Ritzy Nursers™ were created so your tot be “just like mom” as they ‘nurse’ their dolls. The covers are an exact replica of moms nurser right down to the lucite buckle.
