stella bella designs etsy headerI love it when fashion and nursing capability attire meet.  I mean, at times when you are nursing, don’t you just feel…well…not yourself?  Wouldn’t it be SO simple to get something added to your wardrobe that not only makes you smile when you put it on, but it works to aid in your passion to nurse your sweet babe too?  Well….sit back, relax and enjoy this review!  I have the combo for you!!

Stella Bella Designs offers gorgeous “infinity looking” scarf that is nursing friendly.  In one instant, you are wearing a beautiful, eye-catching scarf, and the next you are wearing a nursing cover up.  The special thing, it’s all in one piece!  Spread it out over your shoulder, and then feed your arm through and you have a nice cover up.  No need to lug out your diaper bag to drape your curtain over yourself and your babe.  I chose the bright and colorful Wild Feathers Hold Me Close product because it will match so much in my closet.  It will also look fabulous when I’m going solo on my clothing colors for the day.

stella bella designs wild feathers nursing coverWon’t you feel so comfortable when you are out in public wearing this and your baby gets hungry? It’s easy to use, lightweight and most likely, not something that will attract a lot of attention when nursing.

THE best part about this product, it covers.  Not only your private areas, but the additional areas that are sometimes exposed like your tummy and your sides.

So, tell me.  What do you think?  Do you love the idea of this product as much as I do?

    I love the Brown Gradient Stripes cover. I’ve nursed three little ones, two past the age of two and the third just turned one. The best advice I can give you is to pick up a hobby that you can do while nursing. I started crocheting when nursing my middle child. I had been feeling that I was wasting a lot of time just sitting there. Since I started crocheting, I really look forward to just sitting down and being creative while I snuggle with my little one.

    I like the Hold Me Close Chevron Nursing Scarf – Coral Chevron. My tip is to ask a lactation consultant for help if you’re having latch-on issues or even look at YouTube videos..it’s easier to see how to have baby latch on rather than reading about it

    I like the Nursing Scarf Gray with Teal Polka Dots. My only tip is to stay with it, don’t give up if baby doesn’t latch on in the beginning.

    The Le Leche League is a great help. We weren’t able to get it to work for us (she was lost weight instead of gaining it) but they were very supportive and helpful. Next time I’m hoping for more success. I think this is really clever. I would pick the “READY TO SHIP Hold Me Close Nursing Scarf Black Chevron on Heather Gray, Nursing Cover, Infinity Scarf.”

    My advice is to get a Chewbeads necklace for baby to play with while nursing when they are a little older. My daughter would scratch at my chest with her hand and I wish so bad I would have gotten a necklace for nursing sooner than I did!

    I love the mustard yellow one! And I love that this is something you are already wearing as an accessory, makes it so simple! As a piece of advice, I would say get through the first two weeks, after that it’s a breeze!

    The skinny orange chevron or aqua, yellow, and oatmeal are my favorites! Advice? It’s so different and personal for everyone. What worked for us was co-sleeping and on-request feeding (and yes…even pacifying).

  • Mayla M

    I like the Purple, Teal, Oatmeal Stripes scarf. My best advice would be to learn how to nurse laying down in bed.

    I love the Tan and Black Chevron design!! My one tip would be to not to worry about others watching or judging you while nursing! Do what you know is best for your baby. More often than not, people don’t really care or appreciate all that you do for your baby!

    I like this scarf- https://www.etsy.com/listing/171581858/ships-now-wild-feathers-hold-me-close?ref=shop_home_active. I wish I had some nursing tips/advice, but I don’t. Neither of my daughters were very good at nursing. We also discovered early on that both were lactose intolerant. Good luck.

    I love the Ships Now Skinny Aqua Chevron Hold Me Close Nursing Scarf – Nursing Cover, Infinity Scarf, Infinity Nursing Scarf. I think the best advice is to just keep going. Everyone has hurdles, but pushing through those first few months is so worth it.

    Contact your local la leche league and ask if someone could come over. I ended up with a woman that worked a regular job as a registered nurse come over and she brought a ton of things to help plus tried several things too.

    I like the hold me close aqua chevron scarf/nursing cover.

  • Laurie

    I love the yellow chevron. Due to a physical difficulty, I was unable to nurse successfully, so no tips here, sorry! I would love to win this for a friend who is about to become a first-time mom.

    I don’t have great breastfeeding advice except to make someone your advocate (like your husband) and make sure they know not to let you give up and how much you want it. Unfortunately I was not successful nursing my first two. The first never latched at all and I pumped milk for him for 10 weeks until I finally gave up on that too. My second breastfeed for 3 weeks of the most excruciating pain ever. Crying everytime we nursed. The LC i saw told me everything looked great which was so discouraging b/c that did not explain why I was in so much pain all day long even when not nursing. I finally could take it no longer and gave up. After giving up we discovered that I most likely was suffering from raynauds phenomenon. Now armed with information and my husband as support I am hoping to successfully nurse my third.

  • Chelsea O.
    January 5, 2014 at 1:33 pm

    I like the Black and Tan chevron cover. The best advice for successful breastfeeding is to not be shy around friends and in public. I was with my first but not with my second now and enjoy it so much more.

  • Dominika
    January 5, 2014 at 12:59 pm

    As for breast feeding advice, I think the way the baby enters into the world is of great importance, skin on skin right away is a must (before anyone holds or cleans off the baby)

  • Dominika
    January 5, 2014 at 12:56 pm

    As much as I love all the prints and chevron patterns, the gray one would be the most practical.
