Uddercovers is Affordable and Easy to Carry for Nursing Anytime!

I am so excited to work with Mother Earth Baby again to celebrate the Big Latch On and World Breastfeeding Week! (see my previous review of another Mother Earth Baby product here)

Mother Earth Baby knows how important nursing is for every child so they offer a great selection of breastfeeding products that make nursing easier for stressed out, tired, and busy mothers!

I was so excited to try out the Uddercovers nursing cover from Mother Earth Baby because Udder Covers are committed to making the most dependable nursing covers on the market. They want you to have a product that will cover you where you need it and yet still allow you to have eye contact with your baby - all while wearing something chic and stylish. Each of their nursing covers is marked with their signature Udder Covers logo.

Now if you are in the market for a new nursing cover, let me talk to you about the difference between Uddercovers and other popular nursing covers on the market.

I love the purple color of this great Uddercovers cover! It is by far my favorite pattern out of all of my nursing covers.

The rigid neckline is very similar to other nursing covers I have and it is also easy to adjust!

The only differences I see between Uddercovers and other more expensive versions is the material is not as soft or thick and you can just tell the material is not quite as expensive.

Also, as you can see in the above picture, it is not as big in overall size as other nursing covers! This can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you are looking for. For me, I personally like the bigger size 'cause I got more to cover :) Plus, I just feel more comfortable and worry less about exposing anything...But for more petite, smaller women, this smaller cover would definitely be sufficient - as you can see above it isn't that much smaller!

Because of its smaller size and less thicker material, it is also more easy to store and carry around because it takes up less room!

So if you are looking for a more compact, easy to carry cover, then the Uddercovers is the way to go! They have a great selection of patterns and colors and they are available at a great price!

Buy It: You can purchase Uddercovers for only $16.95 on the Mother Earth Baby website.

Go Organic With Your Nursing Cover! & Giveaway

Let's keep the Big Latch On celebration going as I celebrate another great nursing cover - the organic Bebe au Lait nursing cover! This 100% organic Bebe au Lait breastfeeding cover is made by the same company that makes the Hooter Hider nursing covers and can be purchased from Mom 4 Life.

We already know from yesterday's review that Bebe au Lait makes awesome nursing covers, but everything is better when it is made organically! That is why I love the organic Bebe au Lait cover above all the others I own! There is nothing better than organically grown and safe cotton against my skin and my precious baby's sensitive skin!

As an eco-friendly and organic momma, I am so glad and truly appreciate that Bebe Au Lait developed the Simple line for eco-chic mothers. These covers are 100% certified organic linen and cotton and, like all the other nursing covers Bebe au Lait has created, allow me to nurse discreetly and in style.

This organic cover comes in several neutral colors and I love the Steel colored cover I received!

 As with the regular Bebe au Lait covers, this cover also has a terrycloth pocket in the bottom corner for storing things or wiping baby's mouth. 

It is also a nice, generous size so it covers EVERYTHING I want covered! 

The unique rigid neckline allows for ventilation, as well as direct eye contact with the baby and that makes it a lot better than using blankets to cover my daughter like I used to!

It adjusts really easily and stays put so if you like it the same size every time, then it will be like that every time you pull it out to use it. However, if you need to adjust it, it is really easy to do, even while nursing!

And since my daughter definitely spits up a lot (and on everything in sight!), I am so glad this cover is machine washable for easy cleaning!!

So as you can see, this organic Bebe au Lait cover is very similar to the original Bebe au Lait covers but it is superior for me because it is made of safe and organic cotton for my baby's sensitive skin! The material is soft and comfortable and it makes nursing so much easier!!

Buy It: You can purchase the 100% organic Bebe au Lait nursing cover for $30 on the Mom 4 Life website (which is currently marked at 40% off because it is a discontinued product!) Get it now for a great price!!

Win It: Mom 4 Life is generously offering (1) the Organic Bebe au Lait or the Hooter Hider cover to a lucky winner!

Sleep and Nurse Comfortably with the Essential Nursing Tank!

Having a comfortable nursing tank for wearing and nursing at night has been essential for me!

Do you wear a nursing tank at night, like I do??

For me, it has been the most comfortable and supportive clothing I can wear at night! I can easily nurse when I am half asleep and they are so supportive for full nursing breasts!!

However, sometimes it is hard to find everything I want in ONE single nursing tank! I have a couple nursing tanks that each have something I like about them....good support with one, nice straps with another, easy to unclip and clip nursing clips....I just want ONE good one that has it all!

My latest tank to try out (and cross my fingers it had it all!) was the Essential Nursing Tank from Bravado Designs!

With stunning style and a built in bra (no scrawny shelf bra here!) this breastfeeding and maternity tank beautifully supports up to a G cup, and was designed to make you feel fabulous inside and out.

What I Love:

• Built in Bra: Proprietary design gives you a full support (molded) built in bra on the inside, a beautiful shape and cottony comfort, all in one! This tank is the most supportive one I own and I love that it has  an actual bra built in because I can use all the support I can get! I love that I don't have to wear a different nursing bra underneath when wearing in public! The only thing I wish for is that it came in C/D size instead of B/C or D/DD because I am a C/D and the B/C is just a tad bit small for me. 

• Long in length: I love wearing this tank everywhere because it is really slimming and is easy to nurse in public because it provides tummy coverage where I need it. It fits great in all the right places!

• Maternity Tank and a Nursing Tank: Fabric gently stretches while retaining its shape after washing. A two for one value as you can wear it as a maternity tank while pregnant and then continue to wear it as a nursing tank while breastfeeding.
• Cotton Nursing Tank: Soft, high-quality cotton/spandex outer fabric isn’t see through, even in white! I do own the white tank so I can definitely attest to this! It is not see through so I can wear it anytime!! The straps are pretty skinny which means they do dig into my shoulders a little more than my other tanks with wider straps.

• Full Access: Cups unclip at the shoulder and drop down and away from your body to give baby full access to your breast, providing you and your baby with skin-to-skin contact which is essential, specially when establishing a breastfeeding rhythm. I love how I don't have to maneuver my breasts through a tiny nursing hole!
• Discreet Nursing Clips: These unique nursing clips allow full breastfeeding access and only you will know this is a nursing tank. They don't stick out if you wear a shirt over it. However, they can not be clipped one-handed like I wish they did! This is the first time I have seen clips like this so it took me a couple minutes to figure out how they worked. But once I got the hang of it, they were easy enough to do!
• Award Winning: The Essential Nursing Tank has received the Parent Tested, Parent Approved seal of approval for quality and comfort.

Make sure to check out all the pretty colors of the Essential Nursing Tank they offer, especially the Limited Edition Dark Plum, and the other awesome nursing bras Bravado Designs offers! I love their Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra! It is one of my favorite nursing bras!

And don't forget to sign up to for Bravado Designs' community newsletter for online exclusive promo offers, breastfeeding info, and so much more! Plus, if you sign up for their newsletter, you automatically get entered to WIN a nursing wardrobe (2 bras and 1 tank). Plus if you follow Bravado Designs on Twitter and Like Bravado Designs on Facebook you will increase your chances of winning! This is part of their 20th Anniversary Celebration Giveaway that ends at the end of the year!

Join Big Latch On with a Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover and Giveaway

Happy World Breastfeeding Week and Big Latch On 2012!

I am so excited to be nursing this year during World Breastfeeding Week and the Big Latch On 2012 so that I can be part of the celebration! I am so excited to feature some great companies in the next two days in honor of the Big Latch On that have made nursing easier for me as a mother so that I can help you nurse your children as long as possible!

Although I have had some trouble exclusively nursing my children, I have always nursed them as much as possible because I know how important it is! I am so glad that the whole world is realizing how important breastfeeding is and how amazing God has made breastmilk to be for children!

But there is no doubt in my mind that breastfeeding is HARD!!! Although it is a natural thing for our bodies, it is very hard on mothers emotionally, physically and mentally! It can especially be hard to nurse in public these days with the stigma behind breastfeeding in public in our society. I have always dreaded going out with my children when I am nursing because I have enough trouble to begin with. When you add people all around, nervousness and a hungry baby, it makes for a hard nursing experience. I have made it hard on myself the last couple of years because I always tried to nurse using a blanket to cover. I spent more time adjusting the blanket, making sure my child didn't rip it off while nursing, or making sure it was covering all my skin...I don't know why I didn't get a nursing cover earlier! I might have gone out in public more often!!

So which cover has changed my perspective on nursing in public?? That would be the Bebe au Lait Sevilla Nursing Cover!!

Bebe au Lait’s award-winning nursing covers combine elegant style and everyday function. All nursing mothers know little ones like to nurse on their own schedule and sometimes it doesn’t always fit yours. A rigid neckline, adjustable neck strap, and two wonderfully soft terry cloth pockets simplify nursing in public so that everyone -- mom, baby, and present company -- can carry on whenever, wherever baby needs nourishment. And since they’re exclusively designed in a collection of sophisticated and elegant prints, mom can keep her style and company while nursing.

Features:

• Patented RigiFlex™ Neckline allows for optimal viewing of baby and ventilation
• Neckline Safety Technology promotes product longevity by preventing fabric wear and tear that may pose a hazard to baby or mom
• 100% breathable Cotton – single layered for cool comfort, soft as can be as it delicately shelters baby while nursing. Tuck top corner under arm for full coverage
• Internal Terrycloth Pocket: Perfect for quick cleanups and stashing pads and pacifiers.
• Adjustable d-ring neck strap with branded hardware for authenticity. Adjust it once and done.
• Generously sized 26” X 36” to allow baby to remain focused, not distracted during nursing
• Compact covers roll up to take wherever you go.
• Multi-use: use as a changing mat, sunshade, and light blanket.
• 2011 Creative Child Magazine Top Choice Winner
• Machine washable

So when have I used my nursing cover lately? The question is...Where HAVEN'T I used it lately??? :)

Just in the last week, I have used it at church, at our garage sale, and in the presence of family members who visited! I feel SO MUCH MORE relaxed now when nursing in public and at church and I don't have to rush to a private area or schedule leaving the house around her nursing times!

This cover is so easy to carry around with me - it just fits so nicely in my purse or diaper bag so it is always handy  whenever my daughter gets hungry!

I LOVE the material of this cover. It is super soft, breathable and comfortable for both me and my daughter to use! At our garage sale, it was 90+ degrees outside and since the cover is so lightweight and breathable, I barely felt like I was using it and it didn't add any extra heat to the already hot day!

Best of all, Bebe au Lait always thinks of the extra things and adds the terrycloth pocket that you can use for wiping and storing!

The strap is really easy to adjust depending on how much I want to see my daughter when nursing and I can adjust each time if I want!

I also REALLY, REALLY LOVE the stiff neckline! The biggest thing I hated about using a blanket is that I couldn't see my baby and she couldn't see me! I couldn't see if she was attached and I couldn't make eye contact (one of my favorite things about nursing!) With this awesome nursing cover, the rigid neckline lets me see my baby and my baby see me and I can nurse easily and efficiently!

My favorite part of all is the generous size! I like to be covered up...my tummy, sides, and chest and this cover is big enough to cover it all so I don't even have to worry about wearing nursing clothing anymore because this cover covers it all!! I love that!!

So if you are looking to nurse more comfortably in public, I definitely recommend the Bebe au Lait nursing cover! They really have thought of it all with this cover and the patterns available are really fun and cute too!

Buy It: You can purchase the Sevilla Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover for $35.00 on the Bebe au Lait website.  

Win It: Bebe au Lait is generously offering (1) nursing cover (in pattern of choice!) to a lucky winner!
