Nurse in Public Privately

Slurp & Burp Nursing Wrap

I had a hard time with the title because I didn't know if I should call the Slurp & Burp a wrap, cover or something else because it really is unlike anything I've ever seen. It is the most discreet way I've found to nurse baby in public. Because the Slurp & Burp is worn like a sash and the baby is not completely covered, it looks like you are simply holding your baby. But the innovative design allows the material to part with just enough room to feed without being exposed. Choose from a variety of stylish materials like "Bubble Gum" pictured. Slurp and Burp makes it easy to nurse in private even in public. Another great mom invention!

Chic Nursing Covers for Breastfeeding Moms

Bebe Au Lait/Hooter Hiders Nursing Covers

When Bella was 6 weeks old we took her to Disneyworld; my cousin Nancy, who breastfed four girls, laughed when I ran off to hide and feed the baby, telling me I'd have to learn to nurse in public. Thanks for the lesson! And thanks to Bebe Au Lait who makes the nursing in public chic. Michael, baby #2, not only will be eating in public but will be doing it in style. The covers are designed so you can look down and see baby without having to smother him (or her) or expose yourself while the cover stays in place. It makes a perfect gift for a breastfeeding mom, especially since they also are sold under the more cheeky name "Hooter Hiders". This is one cool product!

Cool Pick: Get Chocolat, my favorite pattern; it's great for boy or girl.

Advice from Baby to Child, Sleeping to Feeding...

American Academy of Pediatrics: Birth to Age 5

My sister-in-law, who has three children, gave me this book. This is the same person who, when I told her I couldn't take the constant night wakenings at five months old, laughed as I said, "Yes, I've let her cry for a good 2-3 minutes!" She put me on the right path then and was spot-on recommending this book, my go-to guide for everything as it is published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and offers very sound advice. Love it!

Cool Pick: I know the web is a great resource, but you won't regret buying this book.

My Favorite Nursing Bra

Bravado Nursing Bras

I received a Bravado nursing bra in a "nursing basket" given to me by a friend for my baby shower. I had no idea at the time it would be my favorite nursing bra and favorite "around the house" bra even when I wasn't nursing. For me to put a bra on my Chrismtas list, as I did this year since one just wasn't enough, it must be good! (Side Note: Hubby bought one for me as a gift. It's white with black polka dots...don't wear this bra with a light colored shirt.) Though I haven't tried the others, Bravado also carries bras for out and about as well.

Sleep Better with Baby

Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper

You ask: "What is your #1 favorite piece of baby equipment you couldn't live without?" Here it is. I scrapped my bassinet for the Arm's Reach Co-sleeper and slept better than ever since I was able to reach over and grab the baby, nurse her, all while barely awake. I was also able to be close and see her but there were no transition to crib problems since she was always in her own space. Do yourself a favor...buy a co-sleeper!

Best Nursing Gown Ever

Aimee Nursing Gowns

I have to credit my mom with this fabulous find. She gave me an Aimee gown for nursing, but honestly I've worn it pregnant, nursing, and non-pregnant/nursing because it's so comfortable. The gown will grow up and down with with your belly and other attributes and no having to wear a nursing bra to bed!
