"Hi. In this clip we're going to show you how to nurse discreetly with a nursing top on. So no matter which nursing top you use, it's the same thing as far as pulling aside or lifting up. Some babies don't really like their heads covered with the shawls or the nursing covers, so the nursing top is a really great way to go. So to start off with you're going to get your baby into position, come inside, drop down your nursing bra, get the baby ready, pull over the fabric, latch the baby on on that side. And then let him nurse away. And you?re covered up here, your chest is covered, your belly areas is covered, and your baby's nursing happily and nobody's the wiser. When the baby's done on this side, latch him off or he'll come off on his own. Move the fabric back over, come back in, pull your nursing bra back up, hook it back in, burp the baby, and then you're going to do the same thing on the other side. Take the baby on this side, use the baby's head a little bit to cover the breast if you're going to be maneuvering to get your bra down. Pull your bra down, move the fabric over a little bit, latch your baby on, and he's happily nursing. When he's all done, move the fabric back over, re-latch your bra, burp the baby, and you're all set to go. And you've been covered from your belly to your top."
