We tried it a couple of times, and I spent so much time trying to get her to latch on again that it just wasn't really worth it. Easier just to unbutton your shirt from the bottom! (And then you still look like a normal human!) This is assuming that your baby will EAT under a cover… mine insisted that she had to be able to see my face (isn’t that just crazy? ).

Not only would she not tolerate being covered up. she is also VERY hot natured and we would both end up drenched in sweat before it was all said and done. I really don't understand what the big deal is with not being covered; a "Titty Tent" just draws more attention to what it's supposed to be disguising. There have been many times when I have fed Cara in public and I know for a fact that people thought that I was just holding a sleeping baby. www.TasteLikeCrazy.com Cara is the exact same way.

Just what we need to do anyway, draw more attention to ourselves by wearing a giant tarp! Yeah, Gita refuses to be covered up too.

I mean, I have no problem hanging out there, and my breasts are size H, but I think this is a good step for women who aren't comfortable with their bodies yet. I'd be much happier seeing a lot of mommies with these than lots of mommies bottle feeding because they aren't yet at a place where they can claim their right to breastfeed openly. I think this may be the compromise that encourages some mommies to breastfeed more out in the open instead of tucked away in bathrooms. Just my two cents...

I would rather a mom just used a little recieving blanket. That tent thing is so huge and so "LOOK AT ME" that I think it is counter productive. I think maybe if the general public would mind their own damn business there would be no need for that anyway. Why is it we have to refer to nursing as "hanging it out" anyway? It is just feeding a baby. (If you get right down to it). It is all so frusterating. I actually think that if people want to make such a stink about a baby eating, then I think that everyone should have a "titty tent" to cover up their head so we don't have to see anyone eat ever! AGH!!! Heather in Tucson nak alisaterry,

Just the 2 words "Titty Tent" make me LAUGH :) So funny, thank you, you made me and Teresa a wonderful day (because laughter inside the milk) (Ok, the reason is sad...just feeding a baby. I can not believe that the U.S.A are so!!! prude and uptight. The land with the freedom, as you learn in europe.) Carry on, Heather!!! Greets, Eva Hihihihihi!

If a product is helping women continue to nurse "on request" and NIP, who otherwise would be delaying or retreating to the car/back room/bathroom, is that really a bad thing? I would love it if NIP was so common that it was not a big deal. I so appreciate all the women who NIP and don't cover, as they are helping us to get to that point. I'd love it if we all felt comfortable enough w/our bodies that we didn't cover. But I am in an area where NIP is virtually unheard of, and I tend to be nervous about exposing myself. I cover when I NIP, and I am able to meet my child's needs and be comfortable at the same time! I use a loosely woven cotton blanket to cover. I have actually thought of purchasing a nursing cover, but I didn't do it because "blankie" is working fine. But there is a product available that is NOT huge, comes in stylish fabrics, and has a band of some type around the top that holds it out so mom and child can see each other.

The thing is though, society shouldn't make women feel uncomfortable or unwelcome or embarrassed if they don't or can't cover (I fall into the category of can't cover because my daughter refuses to be covered, as do a lot of babies, especially over around 3 months!). There is no state that prohibits NIP and nursing is excluded from public nudity laws in all 50 states, including any incidental exposure when getting baby latched on or finishing. I've never once had anyone make a rude comment to me, but I do try to be discreet anyway. Slings work wonders because most people think she's asleep and I can still walk around. I'd rather invest my money in that then one of those covers. They cost about the same (depending on where you get your sling from) and they accomplish the same purpose and then some!

If someone wants to use it then go ahead, it's a free country. Its only good point is that it draws attention to the fact you're breastfeeding, however for the women who actually use it that would be embarrassing. If I am not welcome somewhere because I am breastfeeding, I choose not to go to that place. I refuse to act ashamed of feeding my child the way God intended. I think the hooter hider is ridiculous.
