Best Nursing Covers for Breastfeeding in India

Going out with a baby can be a challenge. Especially for the first-time moms. There are so many things that you need to carry to keep your baby comfortable. However, the most challenging task can be breastfeeding. A good nursing cover can make breastfeeding comfortable, safe as well as cosy for your baby. Read on to find out 5 Best Nursing Covers for Breastfeeding in India.

Nursing covers are also called Nursing Scarfs, Bibs, Stoles or Breastfeeding Ponchos. There are several brands available in India that deal in this product, namely Mothercare, Motherly, Feather Hug, KadamBaby, Lulamom etc

 

Summary:

If you don’t wish to go through the entire article and just want to buy the best product, this is the product for you.  A quality product that covers all the requirements of breastfeeding your baby. It is made keeping safety, comfort and style in mind.

 

Tip: Don’t forget to buy a few good nursing bras for yourself. You will find them very convieniet while breastfeeding your child.

 

Types of Nursing Covers:

Before I get into the actual product recommendations, I wanted to touch upon the 3 basic types of Nursing covers that you can buy in India (online or offline).

 

1. Apron Type Covers:

As the name suggests, these covers are similar to Aprons. However, they specifically designed for breastfeeding and hence they will be wider around the chest. These covers will also have a much wider neck so that moms can easily keep an eye on the baby.

These covers are easy to use and are very comfortable for regular usage.

 

2. Infinity or 360° Covers:

Again, as you would have guessed from the name of the product. These covers are similar to ponchos. You can put them around your neck and they cover you from all around.

This product is really useful when you breastfeed in open locations like parks. I found this very comfortable when I had to breastfeed my baby on an aeroplane (Planes have gaps between the seats, so when I wore this cover, I was assured nothing is visible from behind)

 

3. Stole Type Covers:

These are nothing but big shawl or a stole made using a breathable material. You put this around one of your shoulders and tie the two ends on the other side.

 

Note: I personally don’t find this product (Stole type) very assuring and hence I don’t recommend this product to any other moms.

 

I feel you are better off buying the first two types. You don’t have to constantly worry about the covers coming off and just focus on your baby.

 

 

Best Nursing Covers in India:

I will now jump straight into product recommendations.

I have divided the products into two categories.

• Premium (First two products on the list)
• Value (Last three products on the list)

Premium products have some additional functionalities like adjustable straps, premium fabric, good designs etc. If you have the budget, surely go for these products.

Value products are the ones that give you the most bang for your buck. These are no way inferior products. These are good products and do their job really well. I personally use both the FeatherHug as well as the Motherly product myself.

 

1. Corewill Nursing Cover:

Corewill is an international brand and Amazon India has made it possible for us to buy these wonderful products in India as well.

There are a few Indian brands that have some good products but none can match the quality and finish of this nursing cover.

A bit on the expensive side but if can afford it I suggest you definitely go for this one.

Even though you will use a different room to feed your LO, you will still want a cover to feel comfortable in someone else’s home.

This product is more easy to wear and hence I feel more comfortable using this in a cramped up space like in the car.
