Nursing Covers
I put a Bebe au Lait style nursing cover on my baby registry when I first put it together. At some point during the weeks that I registered online and waited for my baby shower, I started to wonder how hard it would be to make my own cover. The price tag for each Bebe au Lait cover is $35. That's a little steep for essentially a blanket with a strap at the top. And I began to realize that if I didn't receive this as a gift would I really want to spend that much for one? I was able to find a free pattern online and spent last night making two of them. Each of them has the same features as the cover I wanted: a rigid neckline that allows me to peak at baby while using it, two inside pockets at the bottom, adjustable straps, and of course plenty of material to keep me and baby covered. I think they turned out cute and both together only cost me $16!

Wow! They look profesional to me! I always just threw a blanket over us - look at you being all fancy!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any blanket I have that would work for nursing. I've been hot for the last few months, even when it's 35 degrees outside! So any of the blankets I have would either be too warm, small or see through. These are a thin cotton and are also cheaper than the cost of buying a few blankets!
