Hooter Hider, Bosom Buddy, nursing cover or whatever you want to call it
















My 6 year old took these pictures of me and I think he actually did pretty good! Okay how many of you have heard of the hooter hider or bosom buddy? They are little apron type things to wear while you are nursing a baby. I have seen these at various stores ranging from $25.00 to $36.00! What a rip. I am definately not a graceful breast feeder by any stretch of the imagination. I ALWAYS end up exposing my HUGE breast feeding boobs to somebody if I have to nurse in a public place which is very rare for that exact reason! I thought maybe-just maybe I would feel more comfortable doing this if I had one of these covers. I knew I would never pay $25.00+ for one so I decided to just make one! I just printed up a free tutorial online and whipped it up. This is such an easy project even for a beginner. It only took me about an hours time. The cool thing about this nursing cover is that it has boning in it at the neck that bows outward so that you can actually look down and see your baby while he/she is nursing. It has an adjustable neck strap that would be hard for the little one to pull off of you while he is nursing! It is wide enough to cover the sides of you body so you don't have to expose your post baby tummy to the world! Hopefully this will be as functional as I am thinking! I know I am having a boy and the material I picked isn't very masculine. Come on-w/ 3 boys I need something a little girly for me :).
I have LOTS of projects in the works and will be posting pictures soon! I am 31 weeks pregnant and am just now starting to sew things for my little guy. I have been making tons of stuff for other people and not myself for some reason. I think I finally am feeling the pressure to finish some projects for my baby!
