Malia - re nursing covers

Have you seen these? I saw them on a blog the other day and thought they were so cool that I bookmarked them. It's a bit different to a nursing cover - more like a shawl or a sash (it covers the bewbs above and below, but not the baby).

I'm wondering if they work as well as they look like they do, or if it wouldn't provide enough coverage, or be too obnoxious to wear all the time - it looks more like an accessory that you keep on vs something you whip out of a diaper bag (although I suppose you could just put it on when needed, but it might take longer than you'd want?).

Re: Malia - re nursing covers

  • butting in....

    I saw these deeply discounted on baby steals twice in the last few weeks and wondered about them.....didn't look for any reviews though.

  • Jaime, funny you should mention reviews! Right after I posted, I went to see if I could find any - and there aren't many out there! I found a lot more after I realized that this isn't actually a new product - it's the Slurp & Burp Nursing Cover that's been rebranded (check out their original site here).

    So using the S&B info, I found these reviews:

    These people all love them (no cons in any reviews, and since they're sold at Babies R Us, you might be able to see them in person?)

    This blogger really likes it (don't know if it's a sponsored review or not)

    I haven't found any bad reviews, but I have come across a lot of posts on other boards with "hey, has anyone tried these?" and no one has lol. Stick out tongue

  • Butting in too lol...

    They look better than the nursing covers, as in they won't annoy the baby...if they were going for cheap then they're definitely worth a try, I say!

    There are a lot of nursing tops that basically offer the same kind of coverage, like this for example: http://www.topsecretmaternity.com.au/video.php which would be easier for you when you're out and about as it's one less thing you have to worry about carting around and putting on.

     

     

  • Ooh, looks promising.  I especially like couture one, since you can use it like a Bella Band or a "Burp and Slurp" (hilarious name, btw).  I wonder how hard it would be to make one?  Certainly less than $35.  Hmm...now if I could just get a better look at how it's actually constructed.  I'll also watch on Baby Steals to see if they come up again...it's good to have options.  I have the Udder Cover that came for just S&H.  But it does go over baby's head/face.
  • I saw those this past week on Baby Steals and considered buying one... But, honestly, it just looks like a nursing top. I got a bunch of nursing tops that open discretely, what I need is a COVER but not one that goes around my neck.... Right now, a blanket has been working. I ordered the clip to hold the blanket up and plan to try that too... If anyone gets one of these, I'd be interested in hearing what you think!
