Udder Covers (Giveaway - June 9th)
5/26/2010 12:00:00 PM
Breastfeeding is best for baby. But what if you struggle with breastfeeding in public? I had such a hard time with it. I would always head to the van and nurse the baby in complete privacy. That way, if he or she pulled the blanket off, no one was around for the peep show.But, by the time Parker came around, things were different. I now had 5 kids to manage, and Parker absolutely refused the bottle. I had no choice but to nurse him wherever and whenever he needed to eat. And since hubby was working so much, if I went out with the kids, I couldn't drag all of us back to the truck just because it was Parker's feeding time.
But, I still had to be discreet. I hated using blankets, because they could be pulled off so easily, and there's no good way to make eye contact with a baby using a blanket. I needed something that would stay put, keep me covered, and allow me to peek in on baby when I wanted.I discovered Udder Covers and ordered a bunch of cover-ups during one of their sales. They come in so many fabulous colors and patterns. I loved the way they fit. They were long enough to cover everything, and the neckline bent so that I could keep an eye on Parker.
Here's some information about Udder Covers, as taken from their website:
