As any new mum knows, while breastfeeding can be a lovely, intimate experience, it's not always easy to feed discreetly when you are out and about or when you have visitors. Instead of rushing home to give your child her next feed, or disappearing into the bedroom to feed in hiding, check out our top tips for breastfeeding in public.
The Mamascarf
Here at ThinkBaby we love the new Mamascarf, a light, easy to use and flexible 'shawl' which not only allows you to get close and comfortable in order to breastfeed discreetly, but also helps you clutch your baby close to you so you don't need to use a feeding pillow to support your child during the feed.
The Mamascarf is completely flexible in how it fits around you and your baby, so one size suits all mothers. It is also a soothing and secure place for your baby to have some quite time even when you are not feeding, and it is large enough to cover your post-pregnancy tummy as well as your top half!
It is made from 100% cotton and washable at 30 degrees C. It is available in black or blue chambray so it is smart and unobtrusive.
There are some well-designed aspects to the Mamascarf. Not only does it fold away neatly and feature a handy little hidden pocket to keep spare breastpads in, but when not in use, it can be comfortably worn as a scarf itself! (Please note: it is NOT a carrier.)
The Mamascarf is available online for £15.99 from www.mamascarf.co.uk or by calling 07967 302 698.
