Before having my fourth baby, I was always pretty modest when it came to nursing. With my first, I’d always go to a separate room. With the twins, I exclusively pumped and bottle fed. But now, with Case, I have found myself being forced to nurse in the most unusual of spots. Mostly, because my other three kids need to be out and about in order for us to maintain any type of sanity. We can’t simply stay home so I can nurse baby! At the park? Here we go! In the front seat while parked at Target? Okay! At a family gathering? I guess so!
When Sondra, owner and creator of the Hold Me Close Nursing Scarf reached out to me asking if I wanted to try one of her fabulous products, it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Up until that point I’d been using a nursing cape, which was okay, but definitely not as convenient as what she had to offer.
The Hold Me Close Nursing Scarf is basically an infinity scarf that’s been designed to be the perfect size to cover you and baby while nursing. When you aren’t using it, it simply looks like an infinity scarf. And she has so many adorable patterns to choose from. She sent me the Gray Chevron and the Mocha and Black Chevron to try. What I love about it is that there is plenty of fabric, and it stays close to your body allowing you to feel secure and fully covered so you can nurse discreetly. But yet it’s super comfortable for the baby, and the lightweight fabric is completely breathable.
My sister-in-law, Ali, happened to have her baby just a few days after I received the scarves, so I handed one off to her! If you have friends or family who plan to nurse, this would make a GREAT gift! I use mine almost every day, and honestly think every nursing mother NEEDS one! Another great bonus is that they’re more affordable than the other nursing cover options that are available at most stores.
To learn more, you can watch a video to see exactly how it works on the Hold Me Close website!
