10 Nursing Covers We Love for Breastfeeding

When baby is hungry, they’ll let you know it—regardless of whether you’re at home or out and about. And while it would be wonderful if there were clean, comfy nursing rooms on every corner, the reality is there will be times when you’ll have to find the closest spot to sit and breastfeed your ravenous little one This is when a nursing cover can come in handy.

Are nursing covers necessary? Absolutely not! While the specific laws differ state to state, all moms across the country now have the legal right to breastfeed in public. But while some moms are at ease with public breastfeeding from day one, others feel more comfortable having a little coverage. Plus, certain babies nurse better when they’re under a nursing cover and less distracted by all the sights and sounds around them.

Types of Nursing Covers

If you’re in the market for a nursing cover, keep in mind that there are a few types. These are the different styles available, so you can pick the best nursing cover that suits your needs:

  • The nursing shawl. This option looks just like a “normal” shawl, in that it’s a large piece of fabric that can be draped across the shoulders and used for warmth as well as discreet nursing. Strategically placed buttons let you fully cover baby within the folds of the fabric.

  • The nursing poncho. These are made from a single piece of fabric that slips over your head and covers the front, sides and back, providing slip-free coverage for nursing.

  • The nursing scarf. This style can be worn around the neck when you’re not nursing, and then draped across your shoulders and over baby’s head when it’s time to feed.

  • The nursing apron. These nursing covers aren’t designed to be worn as regular clothing pieces, since, as the name implies, they look like aprons that tie around your neck and drape over baby. The benefit of nursing aprons? The slightly structured neckline allows for ventilation and an easy view of your nursing babe, and many designs include pockets for any breastfeeding accessories.

Changing from one mixture to another

The baby's digestive system needs time to adapt to the assimilation of a new milk mixture - it is possible to change the activity of some enzymes, the rate of processing of the components of the mixture, and the nature of the stool also changes.

Start with very small amounts of any new infant formula. Mix old and new formula in separate containers and mix just before feeding in one bottle.

As the amount of new milk formula is increased, the volume of the usual formula is reduced. So the baby's digestive system will gradually "learn" to assimilate a new product, your baby will gradually get used to the new taste.

In addition, you will be able to adequately and timely assess the reaction of the baby to the new milk formula.

Introduction period The amount of the mixture for 1 dose, ml Multiplicity of reception Amount per day, ml
1st day 30 1 30
2nd day 30 2-3 60-90
3rd day 30 5-6 150–180
4th day 60 5-6 300-360
5th day 100 5-6 500-600
6th day 150 5-6 750

The introduction of a new mixture is an important moment in the nutrition of the baby, and in order for it to be successful and you have not missed anything, do not forget to consult a specialist on this issue.

Storage

  • Store unopened cans at temperatures from 0 to +25 degrees and relative humidity not more than 75%.
  • Once opened, store tightly closed in a cool, dry place, but not in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerator humidity may be higher than recommended. As a result, the mixture can become damp, as well as absorb the odors and microflora of the products that are in the refrigerator next to the mixture.
  • Use the contents of an opened jar within three weeks.
  • For the storage of the mixture, choose a place as far as possible from flour and cereal products in order to avoid contamination of baby food by insects.
  • The company can guarantee the safety of the quality of baby food only if all the conditions of storage and preparation of products are observed. If these conditions are violated, deviations from safety standards are possible, which can lead to a deterioration in the health of the child.

1. What is palm oil used for?

Palm oil is an important component of a mixture of oils that are easily and quickly absorbed by the child's body.

Palm oil is needed to bring the fat content of the formula closer to the fat content of breast milk. Palmitic acid, which is rich in palm oil, is an energy supplier for a growing body, like palmitic acid in breast milk.

Palm oil is obtained from the pulp of the fruit of the oil palm tree, after which it undergoes multi-stage purification specifically for baby food. Then it is added to a mixture of other oils in the required amount to bring the fat component of the milk mixture closer to the fat composition of breast milk.

The use of palm oil is permitted in the production of baby food in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Customs Union.

2. Is there enough vitamin D in the mixture to prevent rickets?

If a baby is fully bottle-fed with Nutrilon® 2 Premium formula and drinks 1 liter of formula per day, he receives a prophylactic dose of vitamin D along with the formula. But a specialist may also recommend additional intake of vitamin D.

3. What is taurine?

Taurine is a vital, non-essential (essential) amino acid, especially necessary for the normal development of the central nervous system and muscles. Taurine reserves in the body are limited, which determines the need for its intake with food. After childbirth, its concentration in mother's milk reaches high values. The baby receives the first portion of taurine intended by nature with mother's milk. After establishing this fact, taurine began to be added to infant milk formulas for artificial feeding.

4. What are nucleotides?

Nucleotides are the building blocks of cell DNA and are especially necessary for a growing organism. Important for premature babies and during illness. There are opinions that when using nucleotides in children, weight gain increases, indicators of physical and neuropsychic development improve, the maturation of nervous tissue and the formation of organs of vision occur faster. It has been scientifically proven that nucleotides have a beneficial effect on the development of the small intestine, increase the number of beneficial bifidobacteria in the composition of the intestinal microflora.

5. What is soy lecithin?

Soy lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids isolated from soybean oil obtained from natural (non-genetically modified) raw materials. Phospholipids are an important building material for every cell: being part of cell membranes, they ensure the exchange of the cell with its environment and the interaction of cells with each other. The brain is 80-90% composed of phospholipids, so they are especially necessary for building brain tissue and cells of the nervous system. The use of soy lecithin is permitted in the production of baby food in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Customs Union.
