Nursing Covers and Blankets Help Moms Simplify

July 22nd, 2009

My best friend recently had her first baby and has more blankets than we can count, including some from blanketmybaby.com.  This is a good thing because her little guy is just over one month old and uses a lot of blankets.  He’s almost always wrapped in one and they get dirty quickly.  The times I see her use blankets most are for swaddling and nursing.

She’s struggled with the initial ups-and-downs of breastfeeding, just like most other first-time moms, but is coming out victorious.  I have noticed though, as she feeds (which it seems she is doing the majority of the time), the blanket she uses to cover with needs a lot of adjusting or often falls off completely.

I thought I had brainstormed the next blanket manufacturing idea–but it seems I’m a little late.  Nursing covers and nursing blankets are quite popular and utilize clips or are of large size to help breastfeeding moms stay covered.  They’re modest, typically easy to use and can be fashionable!  Well, if I can’t be the one to come up with it, check out some other great companies that have.  You can purchase covers with straps attached or just the clips/straps.

Clip’n'Feed is a Multi-Use product with custom made detachable clips and a Neck Strap, offering “2 Ways to Clip’n'Feed®” without exposing the mother to a nosey public while the neckline allows for direct eye contact with your baby. While our competitors are only offering single-use covers, Clip’n'Feed® solves four problems in one. Clip’n'Feed® also is a Stroller Cover, Car Seat Cover, and Baby Carrier Wrap. No other cover has “Stroller Straps” to tie down to the stroller and protect baby from the weather. (according to http://www.clipnfeed.com/)

“Cover Me” Nursing Cover Clips by Little Carr.  Little Carr offers a really well-made and high quality “Cover Me” clip in several different prints.  Unlike other breastfeeding clips that have metal clips, the Cover Me Nursing Clip’s hardware is a durable plastic clip that is very wash and wear friendly and the clips are adjustable so that the breastfeeding mom can adjust the strap to her desired length.  Need an extra reason to buy?  Your Cover Me Nursing Clip can also be used in a pinch as a bib cover - simply attach the clip to any cloth or paper napkin and adjust around your baby’s, infant’s, or toddler’s neck during dining.  (according to http://www.nursingcovers.com/)
