Modest Mums Nursing Covers

**I just wanted to let you know that I now offer these fabulous nursing covers here. The product line has now expanded to many more fabric choices, including minky fabrics and UV-protective fabrics!

I've gotten behind on my product reviews, but have had a little break in the action around here so wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about a really great product.

If you've ever been a nursing mother you know that although it's natural, beautiful, and necessary, breastfeeding in public isn't always comfortable. A little blanket or burp cloth can be ok for keeping things under wraps, but that only lasts as long as it takes for your little nursling to grow old enough to start flapping their arms around while they eat.

Modest Mums Nursing Covers are the perfect solution to this dilemma. These lovely, reversible covers are well-made, soft, and come in a wide variety of fabric types and prints in order to suit your personality and wardrobe. Although they easily roll right up into a small bundle that can easily fit in your purse, backpack, and diaper bag, it is wide enough when in use to cover you, your baby, and your post-partum love handles as well.

One of my favorite features about these covers is the neckline that features a flexible-but-firm wire of some sort (I assume plastic because it is nicely lightweight) that holds the fabric away from your body so that you can still make eye contact with your baby and make sure they are latched on correctly. I love it that the baby doesn't have to have the fabric sitting right on their face, making them hot. They will get plenty of air flow while cozily tented under these covers.

Most mothers know that babies go through a stage when they are easily distractable while eating. When they hit that stage, even the most modest mother can find herself with her breast hanging out for all the world to see when her little 6 month old decides they have to break away from their meal to check out the noise they just heard. This cover is especially great for that time period, even for bottle feeding moms. Just the ability to cover the baby up, and to block out some of the light and visual stimulation can be a big help.


Since I'm not breastfeeding any more, I passed the cover that Kim sent on to a friend from my church that has a new baby. She had spent a lot of our small group meetings camped out in another room to nurse her baby, or else kept trying to make her baby sling work to cover him up. She was quite thrilled with the nursing cover because all she had to do was put it on and then she was totally covered and able to get her baby all set up to nurse without being exposed at all. She enjoyed getting to stay with the group instead of feeling like she should run off to some other room. She said that her baby loves to be covered up when he nurses, but he gets hot and she can never see him when he's getting latched on. She was really happy with this product.

I asked Kim to tell a little about how she got into her business:

I'm the mother of two boys, ages 11 & 1-1/2 and am expecting my third child in December. I launched Modest Mums in April 2005 when, as a nursing mom, I couldn't find a decent nursing cover in a print that I was really crazy about. It's been a dream to be able to be a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, and to not have to leave my little one in daycare while I go to work every day. To be able to offer something special to nursing moms, whom I really support, is just another big plus! I believe our Modest Mums nursing cover is different than other nursing covers on the market because of our outstanding and very personal customer service and because it is very important to me to constantly introduce new prints into our line to keep it fresh and give moms a different look than other moms out there.

Kim was also kind enough to make a special sale for DollyMama readers:
