So you’ve decided to nurse, or give it the ole college try! Consider adding a pretty breastfeeding cover (or two) to your shower registry for easy and accessible nursing on the go-go-go. In honor of National Breastfeeding Week, here are five picks I love:
5 Best Breastfeeding Covers
-
Classic Cover
This pretty-patterned cover provides full coverage for discreet nursing. The unique ring tracks tell you which side you fed from last, because new motherhood is nuts and you won't remember. It folds up into a convenient mini pouch—basically a purse for your cover. And of course it's machine washable to launder up all that spit-up.

Sophisticated Shawl
Just because you're nursing doesn't mean you have to compromise your style, mama! Unlike in-your-face bright and stripy nursing covers, this one looks like a shawl that you can wear over a tank, then transition it into a cover when it's time to feed your infant. The bamboo and organic cotton jersey fabric is light, soft, and breathable. Plus it stretches to fit and flatter your body as you lose the baby weight. (We love a good multi-tasker!)

Whimsical Wrap
We love the cute and clever name of the company that makes these covers (Udder Covers), just as much as the "Natalie" cover's vibrant floral pattern. Even better, it's made of comfy cotton and has stainless steel d-rings for a fully adjustable neckline that promises security and comfort. Also the rigid neckline dips a bit to allow you direct eye contact with your bundle and at the same time, full coverage.

Celeb Favorite
Hollywood moms love the sophisticated designs from the Booby Trapper (giggle) covers. They have an exclusive double rim design to keep fabric away from your baby’s face for optimal eye contact and air flow. Hand wash and air dry for best results.

Open-Neckline Cover
Featuring a patented open neckline so there's room—not too much room (wink), to see your baby while you nurse, so you can continue to bond when you're on the go and out in public. And it's also about airflow to the babe because it's hot in the summertime! The secure and adjustable neck strap provides confidence and comfort, while jazzy designs are vibrant and fun. Also crushing on the monogram option at checkout.
