Breastfeeding covers

Hi ladies,

Just wondering what everyone uses to cover up when feeding, if you use anything? The aprons look huge and it's not something I'm going to use a lot. I've just got a couple of occasions coming up where I have to wear something nice as opposed to practical. Any thoughts??

Just a big muslin or a thin scarf. There are things you can buy for this specific purpose but I think they are a waste of money. It also depends how old baby is, after about 4 months mine wouldn’t have accepted the cover and would move it out of the way, so I just didn’t bother and tried to feed somewhere discreet instead.

I used a pashmina type scarf at a wedding once.

The a muslin in your bra strap or just use a scarf. My DD would never eat under one though, she would just squawk and when she had the dexterity would pull it away.

I was thinking a muslin would be best. She'll be teeny tiny, so we shall see if she's happy to be covered or not. Thanks ladies x x

Annoyingly my areolas are too big for me to just pull my top down. I have a cover but also some tops I can kind of pull up and put baby under.

I double vest everyday! A vest underneath my top. Top goes up, vest goes down. I'm managing it quite well that way so far!
