Cadillac of Nursing Covers

When my wife first tried to use a pickup blanket or a blanket with a neck loop. Needless to say, our kid hated every one of them and threw them away. We've tried a few different grooming cases with our second child and ANY real grooming case is WAY better because it's made from a lighter, more breathable fabric and more importantly has a built in ring that gives it some shape at the top. It creates a window through which the mother can see the baby, the baby can see the mother and it prevents the baby from choking. All good things! The two models we tried were the Bebe au Lait Premium cotton nursing cover and the Udder Covers brand. We felt that you get what you pay for. Bebe au lait is definitely better but honestly costs 2-2.5 times more. The features that make Bebe au Lait better are that the ring on top is nicer - more like a rounded D-shape, while the udder cover ring has a thin V-shape. The bebe au lait fabric is nicer too: it's smoother/softer and slightly larger so it offers more protection when baby moves. Terrycloth bags have never been particularly useful to us as bags, although getting wet sometimes came in handy with frequent burps. However, they are good in that they only provide light weight. For this reason I would call the Bebe au Lait feed bag a Cadillac model. However, the udder cover is a perfectly serviceable Toyota. (It even has an advantage: it's smaller. It takes up less room in a diaper bag and is even small enough that I can easily slip it into the pocket of my cargo shorts, while Bebe au Lait is too big and bulky to carry to feel comfortable.) My advice is to get bebe au lait if you intend to use it regularly; It's worth the one-time cost to get it as your primary health plan. The udder cape is great for when you are washing your main cape or when you need a place to stash a spare.
