Now, I understand the whole nursing cover debate.... a debate I see both sides of....however I'm choosing not to debate it with anyone. Mostly because I do see both sides, but mostly because debating just takes to much energy.
I followed a tutorial I found through a nursing blog http://www.blisstree.com/breastfeeding123/free-pattern-to-sew-your-own-nursing-cover/
This was a very simple project and very inexpensive. Total cost for me was about eight dollars.
Here is my finished product

Why did I choose to cover?? Because I didn't buy forty dollar shirts with holes in them for nursing in public and I wasn't comfortable with the general population seeing my post-partum belly. Heck, I wasn't comfortable looking at it....I wasn't about to subject it to strangers.
That being said, I only used it for about 6 weeks. I had learned how to hold Brady with a receiving blanket so that I was mostly covered...Once the weather turned warmer I ditched the blanket all together. It was way to hot and I just didn't care what anyone thought...my baby needed to eat! There were a few occasions where I chose to cover...a high school graduation is the only one that I really remember. But, I actually enjoyed nursing in public. I loved seeing other mothers give me a little knowing smile.

I also cover when I nurse in public...although I have a hard time nursing in public because it's hard to get Alexandra on without exposing some portion of myself! At the end of the day though, she needs to eat and I need to feed her and I refuse to do that in a bathroom...yuck! Thanks for making my cover for me!
