I nursed all 3 of my boys for as long as I could. I knew it was the best, healthiest choice. If I could do it, why, I was going to do it. One issue I found difficult though was finding a discreet way to do it. Most of the male members in my family...my dad, uncle, etc were somewhat uncomfortable with me nursing in front of them.
I tried using blankets over my shoulder and covering the baby but I always worried if it was uncomfortable for the baby. The blankets would usually slide off too.
Then I bought one of those nursing covers that have the strap that goes around your neck. While this worked better in that it stayed put and covered more I still worried about it covering the baby's head. I discovered Baby Bond Nursing Sash and Belly Band. This eliminates that worry of covering the baby's head. It can be worn as a sash and you simply pull apart the bands to give baby access to the nipple or you can use it has a belly band to nurse with your non-nursing wear type tops (IE a regular shirt or high collar shirt).
I put it on myself so you could see the different ways to wear it. Here it is as a sash. I pulled it apart a little at the top so you could see how the baby would nurse. I have my shirt underneath so no nipple shots lol.
Then I used it as the belly band. You would use the belly band choice if you had a top on like mine in the pic above. If you need to lift your shirt but wanted to keep your belly and back covered to anyone else that may be near by.
It's a very light weight fabric. There are a few different colors to choose from as well.
