We’ve all been there. You’re at a busy mall, a bustling café, or a family gathering, and your baby decides it’s time to eat now. Suddenly, you aren’t looking at the menu or the shops anymore – you’re scouting the room for a “discreet corner.”
The “Corner Hunt” is a common ritual for new mums. It’s that frantic search for a pillar to hide behind or a quiet hallway because the thought of fumbling with layers of clothing in front of strangers feels overwhelming.
At Breastmates, we believe you shouldn’t have to hide to provide. Our Nursing Covers are designed to give you 100% instant privacy, turning any seat into a private sanctuary. The secret? It’s all in the rigid neckline.
The Magic of the Rigid Neckline
Unlike flimsy wraps or blankets that drape over the baby’s face, our covers feature a specially designed neckline that stays bowed out. This creates a private viewing window just for you. You can look down, check the latch, and see exactly what’s happening, while the rest of the world sees nothing but a beautiful cotton cover.
3 Reasons to Use a Rigid Neckline Nursing Cover
1. Eye Contact is Everything
Did you know that maintaining eye contact during feeding releases oxytocin (the “love hormone”) for both you and your baby? This helps with milk let-down and deepens your bond. The rigid neckline allows you to gaze down at your little one, ensuring a deep latch and precious bonding time, all while the outside world is blocked out.
2. Natural Temperature Control
There is nothing worse than a sweaty, fussy baby. Our covers are made from 100% breathable cotton to ensure maximum airflow.
-
For year-round use: Try our medium-weight fabrics like White Bird or Plain Cream.
-
For summer days: Opt for our lighter-weight fabrics like Polka Dots, Vintage Flowers, Pink Rocks, or Black. Natural fibers keep baby cool and comfortable while they tuck into their meal.
3. The “Pumping Anywhere” Freedom
This isn’t just for nursing mamas! If you are a pumping mum, this cover is a total game-changer. It turns a car seat, an office chair, or a park bench into a private pumping station.
How to Use Your Breastmates Cover
It’s as simple as it gets:
-
Slip it on: Place the strap over your head (like an apron).
-
Adjust: Use the slider to position the neckline so you can see baby clearly.
-
Feed with Confidence: Hold your baby close and latch. You don’t need to worry about prying eyes or your clothes shifting – you are 100% covered.
