Breastfeeding covers?

Hi :)

Any recommendations on breastfeeding covers?

I've seen the apron ones with the wire in the top? The infinity scarfs that go the whole way around? Or using muslins etc?

Just wondering what most people think is best? I'm wanting something discreet that doesn't draw attention but also gives me privacy. :)

I got one of the apron ones expecting to use it loads and I used it once! Baby (not unreasonably) kept trying to bat it away. I found a large muslin the easiest thing (one of the metre squared ones). I also really like the jojo manan nursing tops (stripey ones). They are really discreet I don’t even feel the need for a cover.

I agree with pp, Muslims are great as are the jojo tops. I also often wear scarves that I can drape around to block people seeing but allow me to still see baby. Mind you she's getting older and keeps pushing them away!

I used a scarf! Had DS in November so it was easier but i wore them all the time. Just fanned it out when I wanted discretion. Not sure if there is a summer equivalent

I use the Bebe au Lait cover and have done with all three of mine. It's really good, and has helped through difficult times when my whole boob was out with nipple shield, etc. I find it easier than a muslin as it doesn't go over their face and you can see them.

I second the Bebe au Lait ones. Usually available second hand on Ebay.

I came on to post the same. I got a cover and used it once however I used muslins all the time.

I got a pack of very large muslins from TK max and used them as breastfeeding covers and blankets all the time.
