Easy and discreet comfort for nursing mothers.

The Hooter Hider is a specially designed, easy-to-use nursing cover created by entrepreneur Claire Ekelund and marketed by her company, Bebe au Lait. This patent-pending cover features a rigid neckline that permits both mother and baby to see each other during nursing but still provides a discreet and private environment. Machine-washable and stylishly designed, the Hooter Hider allows on-the-go nursing mothers the freedom to take their babies along.

    Coverage

  1. Hooter Hider and Bebe au Lait nursing covers come in a one-size-fits-all format. They were designed to be large enough to completely cover the mother's torso and belly while nursing. Depending on the size of the nursing infant and whether the mother is standing or sitting down while nursing, the child's legs may be exposed.
  2. How-To

  3. The rigid neckline is the primary feature that sets the Hooter Hider apart from most nursing covers. To take advantage of this feature, remove the cover from its packaging and spread it out. Stretch the neck strap out so that it has no twists, then thread the end of the strap through the two D-rings on the top of the cover. Spread the D-rings enough to allow the end of the strap to be threaded over the first ring and through the second to create a secure connection. Slip the strap over your head with the rigid neckline facing forward. Drape the fabric of the cover over your baby and your torso, then position the neckline so that you have an unobstructed view of your baby.
  4. Brand Names

  5. While the Hooter Hider name has a loyal following, the creators acknowledge that there are those who prefer a less tongue-in-cheek brand name. For this clientele, the company offers Bebe au Lait nursing covers. These items are identical in every way to the Hooter Hider nursing covers, with the single exception of the label.
