"Just use a blanket," everyone said. "It's cheaper that way." I could have used a blanket as a nursing cover but if they truly knew how clumsy I am, they would NEVER say that! I have nightmares of nursing G (when he finally shows) in public and of the wind blowing my blanket off and exposing me to the world. NO thanks! There is nothing wrong with nursing in public, in fact, I think its beautiful to watch a baby nurse but not everyone feels that way. Not only that but I would rather keep my chest to myself, my hubby, and my babies. So I made a nursing cover. I used a bottom-weight fabric in a fun print and lined it with anti pill baby flannel. I put a bit of boning in the neck so that it would bow a bit and I could watch G nurse. Then I added some straps for my neck so that it can't blow off or be pulled off. HA! Take THAT wind! I made a mistake on it though! I realized that I should have put a pocket on the inside to hold my breastpads or a burp cloth and totally forgot. The wheels are turning though to figure out how I can still do that without sewing through both layers...Hmmmmmmm!
