Many mothers choose to breastfeed their babies and with good reason. After all, breast milk is always available, you do not have to pay for it, the temperature is always perfect and there is no fuss around finding and sterilizing bottles. While women in the United States are guaranteed the legal right to breastfeed their babies anywhere they are permitted to be, that does not always mean a woman will feel comfortable doing so wherever she goes. For reasons of modesty and privacy, many women feel better about breastfeeding well out of the sight of total strangers. One way to achieve privacy while nursing without having to dash off to a restroom, head for home or hide somewhere is by making use of nursing covers. Hooter Hiders are one very popular line of nursing cover that help moms to nurse their babies whenever they need to despite where they may find themselves.
Like baby slings, Hooter Hiders are an innovative product that offers mothers a convenient solution to a common issue. The Hooter Hider boasts a unique, rigid neckline that allows mother and baby to maintain eye contact during breastfeeding. The design also allows for sufficient ventilation so neither mom nor baby will feel uncomfortable. Hooter Hiders come in one size ample enough to easily cover mother and baby. With a variety of solid colors or pleasing, fashionable patterns with names like Mint Chocolate, Hot Dots, Parfait and many others available, there is one for every mom. Care and maintenance is quite easy as these nursing covers are machine washable. The can also pull double duty as blankets when not being used for nursing.

The Hooter Hider nursing covers were created by entrepreneur and mom Claire Ekelund in response to her own challenges as a mother nursing her newborn baby in public. Her California based company, Bebe au Lait, makes and markets other products for moms in addition to Hooter Hiders including adorable hooded towels, burp cloths and double bibs which are large, reversible bibs that also come in an array of eye catching patterns. The company recognizes that the Hooter Hiders product name is a bit too cheeky for some parents and as such makes nursing covers that retain the same great look and features, but bear the label Bebe au Lait instead.
If you are looking for a discreet way to nurse your baby in public without having to hide or feel uncomfortable, nursing covers like the Hooter Hider are a very good solution. Hooter Hiders provide privacy, look quite stylish and are affordable at around $35. In addition to peace of mind and comfort, they also provide great value as you will probably find yourself using them often or in places you would think twice about in without one. Hooter Hiders are widely available online at web sites like eBay. and Amazon.com where you can often get free shipping. You can find them in some local brick and mortar shops as well.
