Bébé au Lait Covers Put the ‘Rest’ in Breastfeeding

Excited to be nourishing your little one with breast milk, but not thrilled about the prospect of flashing your Uncle Ron at the next family gathering?

Then rest easy, new mama, with a stress-reducing Bébé au Lait nursing cover (originally known by its more subtle title, “Hooter Hider”). These around-the-neck shields are not only stylish, but also bigger and more secure than, say, a blanket or a deterring “please look elsewhere” raise of the eyebrow.

In other words, the Fort Knox of nursing covers.

Around since 2004, the Bébé au Lait covers — popular with celebrities — were recently updated with two new print designs, as well as with an additional cotton terry pocket to help with quick clean-up, and to store breast pads or pacifiers or something really important, such as a chocolate bar for later.

Because moms can never have enough pockets. Or peace of mind. Or chocolate.

Available at bebeaulait.com and independent retailers. Suggested retail price of $35.
