Breastfeeding in public has been a huge debate as far back as I can remember and it still is. People act like its this big crime. When did feeding your child become a crime? Well as many know, my newborn will be here any day! I plan on breastfeeding and formula feeding (half and half). I was looking for the perfect thing to use as a cover up for when that time comes. I found it!
I got to try out one of three tie dye color scarfs. I love the way the pink one looks on me! You can wear is so many ways. As a regular scarf, over one shoulder, etc.. Always a neat fancy way to top off any outfit!
This scarf is huge! My daughters held it up fir me so I could show the world how long and wide this scarf is! Perfect for breastfeeding for sure! Not only that but it is very thin material meaning the baby nor you will sweat!
This scarf does have a button to keep it place. The button is at the top. I found that it is easier to place your head in one of the holes after you button it and then your arm in the other. This allowing the scarf to cover all of you and you can place baby under scarf for covered breastfeeding. Super easy, comfy and no hassle. Also fabric is machine washable!
If breastfeeding is this the type of cover you would use?
Breastfeeding is really a great milk for our babies. Great scarf! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I didn't thought about this when I was breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! When I would breastfeed I'd normally do it in a bathroom. I know people are all, "Gross!" but it's what I was comfortable with. I don't care if people breastfeed out in the open though. It just wasn't for me. At home I didn't bother to cover.
ReplyDeletemy friend makes these and I am not sure that she had ever thought of using it to nurse a baby with but what a great idea

This is a great idea for those who want to cover up for feeding time. I'm my personal opinion thought women should feel free and able to feed without covering up . There is nothing wrong with a woman feeding her child
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought it was a scarf if I had seen you with it as you brestfed! Wow! Love this idea and it's fashionable too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute and creative idea for a nursing mother! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute scarf and it looks comfortable too!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty scarf!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would definitely use an infinity scarf if I was breast feeding a baby or some type of cover up so I am not exposed to others if I would breast feed in public.
ReplyDeleteThe only issue I have ever had about public breastfeeding is the way some women refuse to even be try to be decent. They just plop the entire boob out there and sometimes in really inappropriate places. I LOVE seeing women breastfeeding in public but covering their privates areas while doing so. That's such a cute scarf and I thank you so much for breastfeeding the RIGHT way!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I was to breast feed, I would use this scarf, I like that it would give me easy access to breastfeeding and always gives me some sort of privacy
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute cover up! Its so fashionable and gives baby the privacy to eat.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great cover. I have something similar to this and I really like it!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cool idea :) great for new mothers.

I will get one of these scarves for my daughter. She's breastfeeding her son who just turned 10 months. She's been looking for a good breastfeeding cover and I think I just found the perfect one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cover. Hopefully they have more color options because it would be a great gift for my friend who is expecting.
ReplyDeleteI love options like this. I've breastfed both of my kids, and often in public. I tried many options, and my favorite was just having an infinity scarf or something to cover the top of my breast. My kids didn't like having something over their heads. I wish there wasn't such controversy around breastfeeding in public, though.
ReplyDeleteI really hate how people react to breastfeeding, it's a natural thing that should be respected. I think it's great that you have this nursing cover! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is huge! I love it, reminds me so much of my breastfeeding journey with my son.
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding is the best way to go especially since it has so many benefits for the babies. I think it's awesome that you found a reliable cover up! I love the color!
ReplyDeleteI love almost anything pink. I hope you have a safe and healthy delivery as well! Continue to keep doing you and not worrying about others trying (yet failing) to shame you.
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of options that are out there for covering up yourself as you feed your child. Honestly, I never really do anymore, I did with my firstborn, but now I just don't mind. Breastfeeding is beautiful, but I know some wouldn't agree and would rather have the other person cover themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great looking scarf and colour! I'm sure it would encourage more mums if they were to have it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way for someone to breastfeed out and about! Much more convenient than a separate blanket!
ReplyDeleteI wish this was more culturally acceptable. hopefully one day women won't get dirty looks for breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding mom here for 24 months and counting! I also have the similar infinity scarf and it's heaven sent! It is very functional!

I wouldn't have thought of this issue! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those simple and effective things you can have for you or a friend who just had a baby. Pink really looks good either way, it resembles purity and comfort for me!
