Nursing covers are amazing for breastfeeding or pumping on the go! We love the privacy that mum and bub get with these lightweight (read: breathable) nursing covers in Singapore.
If you’re a breastfeeding mum in Singapore, then chances are you’ve had bubba ‘clawing’ at you for a feed when you’re out and about, with no nursing room in sight. This is why nursing covers are an absolute gem, and an essential item in our diaper bags. We love the privacy it gives mummy (no more nip slips); and it certainly helps keep out the distractions for bub when they’re feeding.
You may be wondering: but isn’t it stuffy for baby, especially in the unforgiving Singapore weather? Thankfully, things have come a long way in the nursing cover department, with lots of lightweight and breathable options. This is aligned with what paediatricians recommend, as we want bub to be able to breathe easily and not overheat.
Adding on to that, some nursing covers are super stylish too, so much so that we’ll gladly wear it as a shawl. You can even drape them around the pram or yourself while babywearing if bub needs their nap. Talk about multipurpose!
