Public Breastfeeding Nursing Cover Up

Video Transcript

"Hi, in this clip I'm going to show you how to use a nursing cover up which is similar to the nursing shawl, just a little bit different. This is a nursing cover up. There are many out on the market. We like the Baby Ole, the hooter hider they call it. It has a nice wire band in here but it's soft and flexible so it folds up really easily, but it keeps the fabric off your chest so that you can see the baby when you're nursing. The first time you use it you're going to want to thread it through and make sure that it gives you enough space so that you can see the baby. After you do this one time you won't need to do it again. So just pull it through to where it's comfortable on you. Try it on, oh that's great I can see right through and see the baby down there. So when you're out in public you'll have this in your diaper bag and you'll just pull it of your diaper bag while you're holding your baby. Here's my little baby doll. And you'll take your baby underneath the shell, and again remember your proper positioning. The nice thing about this shawl is that you can pull it over to one side so you have more fabric on the side that you're nursing on. You can see your baby right through this lovely little opening right here. So the same as with the shawl and this cover up, you're going to come underneath, remove your nursing bra, latch the baby on. Remember his alignment too, his ear, shoulder and hip all in alignment. Nurse him on the first side till he's done. Take him out and put your bra back up. This is nice because it has a little terry cloth in the corner so after the baby's done burping you can wipe his little mouth. And now you can switch sides. Take the shawl over to the other side, all the while you're still able to see the baby underneath. Take this side of your bra down, latch the baby on and nurse on this side. When you're done on this side put your bra back in place. Put your shirt back in place. Take the baby out. Take your shawl off. Take your nursing cover off and this is a really soft flexible wire so it just folds right up. You can just fold it up, toss it in your diaper bag and continue on your shopping excursion or your dinner out. Have fun."
