This is for other mamas who have wondered which nursing covers work and which...well, don't cover. :) For reference, I am 5'7" and have a longer torso.
1. Udder Covers
Pros:
*Many times there are promo codes to get one of these and only pay shipping
*Good boning to see your baby while nursing
*I like most of the fabric options
*Site offers gift sets with reusable pads
Cons:
*I've always had trouble with the strap (for around the neck) slipping
*It's not wide enough. Part of my body always shows: pull it one way, my belly shows; cover my belly, I'm exposed.
2. Bebe Au Lait (
Pros:
*Beautiful fabric options
*Pretty good coverage. To help with coverage, you can iron these which extends the fabric a little more.
*Pocket under cover to put a burp cloth or nursing pads ("soft terry cloth pockets"): This is a genius feature in my option!!
*Videos on the site and can buy these in stores
Cons:
*(many not be a con to all) $35 cost plus $2.89
*Another one that I've struggled with the strap
*The boning is just not as good after a wash in my experience
3. Handmade Cover (by me): Nursing Cover Tutorial
Pros:
*Think Custom! Everything the way you want it to be
*I customized the fabric so that it would have enough fabric no matter which way it was pulled
*Choosing a fabric I love!
*Simple tutorial (it was only my third thing to ever sew)
*Potentially the cheapest option
Cons:
*Pick good boning, mine still isn't working
*I've come to realize the straps are the worst! It needs a button or snap, just something other that the "D-rings"
*Too long in the front; makes it look like a dress :)
(I feel like I need to add one more, just can't think of it right now)
