Discrete Feeding - Nursing Covers

Age - Newborn +
Price - from £3 (ebay)
Rating - ****

I found these nursing covers to be really useful especially during the early days of breast feeding. They are similar to an apron that sits high up and covers you and the baby whilst you feed.

There are a variety of different nursing covers on the market, many designs and colour schemes too and some which are wired at the top so you can easily see down to your baby. It's also much cheaper than many of the nursing tops that are on the market.

They are very useful but can be a little cumbersome at times and can flop down onto baby's head but as my little one is getting older I also find it useful to stop him from getting distracted whilst feeding in busy places.

B(r)e(a)st Pads

As a breast feeding mother its important to feel that you are secure and leak proof when out and about and equally at night when many women find their breasts can become fuller and leaky.

I've tried and tested many supermarket and chemist own brand breast pads but these Lansinoh pads are the best by far. They are more expensive however they are the only pad I've found that is up to the job and can be used day and night. They are individually wrapped too, so you can easily take some with you in your changing bag/handbag.
