Discreet breastfeeding with Mamascarf

For this week’s theme of mum to mum sharing for Keep BritainBreastfeeding Scavenger Hunt I wanted to re-post a review I did of Mamascarf when we received one last year to test.  The Mamascarf is a breastfeeding accessory that can be used when breastfeeding in public and wanting to be covered up and discreet when breastfeeding,

****

I have been breastfeeding Tristan since birth and I am used to having to feed him in numerous places including in public.  During the early stages of feeding on demand and feeding extremely often I got used to feeding anywhere, overcoming my nerves about feeding in public as my baby needed feeding so I just had to get on with it.  I decided early on if I was nervous and self-conscious I would attract more attention, and I wouldn’t get unwanted attention if I looked confident.  I tried using muslin squares and blankets to save my modest but they were more hassle than what it was worth and I would end up showing more trying to cover myself with them.  I have also bought and tried specially designed tops for breastfeeding and never really got on with them well, they aren’t always easy to feed in and limits my wardrobe.  With being a busy new mum dealing with a little baby I never thought about looking for a product specifically designed to cover yourself when breastfeeding.

Mamascarf Review.

I have been breastfeeding Bug since birth and I am used to having to feed him in numerous places including in public.

I recently came across the Mamascarf and the lovely Keira O’Mara sent me a Cream Mamascarf to test and review. According to their website the benefits of using the award winning Mamascarf are that it covers you before and after feeding, it covers your post pregnancy belly, by using it there is less distraction for baby whilst feeding and you can still maintain eye contact with baby. It provides crucial support without the need for a cushion but it is not designed for carrying a baby. The Mamascarf is made from 100% soft tactile cotton and as it is textured fabric any creases are disguised. You don’t have to worry if it will fit as one size fits all and it can be used to feed any age baby. When not in use it can be either folded away or worn as a scarf, and it even comes with a handy hidden pocket to store your breastpad.
