Travel Spotlight: BeBe au Lait (and Giveaway!)

My son is 9 months old and I'm proud to say that I am still breastfeeding him. It has been a long road which included pumping every 3 hours while he was in the NICU, a lactation consultant to address difficulty with latching and swallowing, and finding time and privacy to pump at work twice a day.

Since we will be traveling, I know that nursing will be a convenience as I won't have to tote bottles and my pump around with me everwhere I go. When it comes to finding a stylish and functional nursing cover for privacy when breastfeeding on the go, my top pick is BeBe au Lait.

The first thing that attracted me to BeBe au Lait was their gorgeous prints which are deesigned by their in-house design team and is exclusive to their brand. BeBe au Lait's nursing covers include a rigid neckline which helps you to maintain eye contact with your baby as well as to ensure that your baby has a good latch. I loved this feature as I can easily glance down at Bean to help him readjust.

I also love how the cover serves to keep his attention focused on nursing. Bean gets easily distracted, especially when he is in a new and unfamiliar location. The cover helps to keep out all that background stimulation.

The BeBe au Lait nursng cover includes a terry cloth pocket to hold small items such as breast pads or a pacifier (I mostly use the terry cloth for cleaning up after nursing).

I love products that are versatile--I have used my nursing cover for extra privacy while pumping at work, a sun shade, and an impromptu burp cloth. The BeBe au Lait nursing cover folds up compactly to fit easily in a diaper bag, purse, or carry on. If you are nursing, remember to put the BeBe au Lait nursing cover on your "to pack" list!

Buy it! You can order BeBe au Lait nursing covers online starting at $35. BeBe au Lait alo carries burp cloths, innovative reversible double bibs, hooded towels, and gift sets.

Win it! One lucky Psych Mommy reader will win a nursing cover in choice of fabric! To enter this giveaway, visit BeBe au Lait and tell me which cover you would choose if you won.

I'd choose the Bebe au Lait Sevilla Nursing Cover because it's not super girly which would make it ok to use with a baby boy but still girly enough for a girl. (And hey! I'm a girl and I like girly things!)
