Udder Covers Jones print

 (4 customer reviews)

I got one of these with their promo 'just pay shipping' when I had my first child in 2009. This particular pattern is pretty, but it's very light and faded looking. Anyway, it's not a "bad" product, I just found that it's just SO small! If you're nursing a squirmy, grabby baby there no chance that you'll stay covered. I'm replacing this one with one I'm making myself for baby #2. I must say that even though I'm a novice seamstress, mine is much better quality than this one and it cost me less than $10 to make. If you're looking for a nursing cover, look elsewhere or consider making your own. There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to make one yourself. I even added a pocket on the front to hold nursing pads, keys, phone, etc. There are much better options than this.

The material is very thin and doesn't stay in place to allow me to see the baby. It is also too narrow and doesn't provide enough coverage if the baby moves around a lot.

I am a new mother with a 2 1/2 week old and don't have a lot of experience nursing, but this nursing cover absolutely did not work for me.

1. The "rigid neckline" collapses on itself so you can't make eye contact with your baby or see how they're latching on. The fabric is either too thin to hold up the neckline or the boning they use is too heavy... either way, I can not see my son while he is nursing.

2. The fabric width is very narrow, which may not be a problem for smaller busted women, but I'm a 36G/F and I am so worried about flashing someone if he moves around. There just isn't enough coverage for me.

3. It would be great if it had a pocket to store nursing pads/soothies/pacifiers or lanolin.

I got this as a free promotional item (only had to pay $12 for S&H) but I would not recommend even though it was "free."

I recently purchased a Balboa Baby and can see a huge difference in the functionality of these nursing covers.
