My initial impression of this product was very
positive. Stylish and 100% cotton, I was excited to try it. The packaging was
perfect. It was stylish, recyclable and size appropriate which are all very
important to me and most of the mum’s I know. The leaflet of breastfeeding
advice ‘try to’ and ‘try not to’ was absolutely fantastic, a really nice
touch.The
design is well thought out and I really liked it. The size is refreshing as
previous breastfeeding covers that I have tried have not been big enough or had
the handy pockets.It was very comfortable and a great fit. The D ring was
tricky to tie the first time for me as there weren’t any instructions of how to
secure that but once I’d figured it out, it was fine.I found it
really easy to use whist breastfeeding once I’d sorted the strap. I would
suggest a few simple instructions to tie the strap to the D rings here to have
given it a 5. I did find it easy to use this to breastfeed in public. It took seconds to take the cover out and put
it on/off. I definitely felt more confident using the cover and
wasn’t concerned about whether I was fully covered as the size was
perfect.I felt my baby was safe as I could easily see her during each
feed and I knew she wasn’t overheating as the material was 100% cotton.The
cotton was great quality, one of the D rings fell off the first time I used it
but I easily put it on. I also used the cover to lay my baby on in the
park, to create a bit of shade by hanging it over the side of the pram.
This is made of 100% cotton enabling the material to be breathable. I definitely found this to be true. And
that definitely helps a peaceful feed in public.It is a little
fiddly to wash it as I took the d rings off, but other than that it’s
fine.I really like the
pockets and the size of the cover. I’ve been using the pockets for breast pads
which has been really handy.I use it every time I go out as my baby
is still quite young and feeds a lot.Its 100% cotton, one of
the d rings did fall off the first time I used it but the cotton is perfect.
I’d say it was slightly on the
expensive side, but think it is a fantastic product. I would consider
buying it as the pockets I found really helpful and I love the different prints
to choose from.Although slightly on the pricey side, it is a great
and stylish product that I would recommend to friends and family. I
really enjoyed using this product. Not only was it stylish and functional with
the handy pockets on the front, but 100% cotton so I knew my baby wasn’t
overheating underneath. It comes in a range of fabulous designs which makes me
already think of buying it for friends as a present for baby showers/when
babies are born etc. I absolutely loved the ‘try to’ and ‘try not to’ tops
inside the box instead of ‘do’ or ‘don’t’. There is so much pressure on mum’s to
breastfeed and it really is not easy to establish at all and daunting in
public. I found the product fun and practical and the leaflet inside a
brilliant touch. Marianne Storey – Annabelle 8 Weeks

This
was delivered safe and sound and well packaged. This is easy to use and great to be able to
see my baby while feeding; the pockets are very handy as well.This isn’t a fitted top, the cover is large
enough to give you and your baby the protection required. I have very large
boobs and felt well covered while feeding.I did find it easy to
breastfeed using this cover. I have
large boobs and it’s very important to be able to see my baby while I feed to
ensure a good latch. The cover has
allowed me to feel able to feed in public. This has
made me feel more confident. Without the
cover I would not feel comfortable feeding my baby in public places. I
certainly felt my baby was comfortable while using this cover. The cover is made out of good quality fabric
which isn’t see through at all.I only used this to breastfeed my baby.
The fabric used is breathable and this certainly made if comfortable to feed my
baby. Easy to wash on a normal cycle with my other washing. I really loved the modern up to date fabric.
I use this cover regularly. I like
the quality of the cover. I think £30 is expensive for a breastfeeding cover
but I think it’s a necessary breast feeding tool. I would buy this as I think it’s a vital breast feeding tool which has helped
ensure I can feed when out and about. I would recommend as being comfortable to
feed in public is very important. I think
this is a wonderful breastfeeding tool
and very handy and easy to use and easy to package up into the changing bag. I like using this product and am very glad I got to trial it
as it has been a very good experience. Sophie Tester-Lowden – Owen 4 Weeks

When
this arrived it looked good quality. Came in minimal
packaging for reduced waste. Love the grey with white stars it can be used for both boys
and girls.The strap you adjust around your
neck does not stay in place when adjusted. Keeps loosening off. Not
as easy as expected when breastfeeding as already mentioned the strap keeps
loosening off so unable to see my baby and have to keep readjusting the cover
to see her.Once I have got my baby in place and
am able to see her I feel confident using this. I
do worry it’s going to move while feeding and will not cover me so spent more time checking the cover is over me than looking at my
baby. Lovely material soft and great quality. I only used this for breastfeeding. I did
find the material used was breathable and this helped. I
use a lot when there is no shade so I can breastfeed my baby out the sun. She
does not get too hot under it. This was very
easy to launder. I loved the fact this can be used for either boy or girl and it stands out enough
for people to see you are feeding a baby. I
use when I am in public places that I feel it may make other people feel uncomfortable such as where there are older
gentleman.~The
quality is excellent. Certainly good
value. I would give this 5 if there wasn’t
the issue with the strap.This product is brilliant. Lovely
material with a great design. The issue with the strap makes it difficult to
use and when my baby is hungry it really upsets her having to wait while I’m
trying to get the cover to ‘cover me’ it also makes it hard to see my baby when
feeding as it’s usually too lose to use around
the neckline. Joanna List – Rosie
