The best breastfeeding covers for new mammas

Doubling up as as a trendy scarf, this breastfeeding cover is great for nursing and accessorising, so it's one less thing to pack in your changing bag! It has a hidden pocket inside to store your breast pad too, which is super handy. One happy parent said: "I bought the feeding scarf after watching the video tutorial. It really is easy to use whilst feeding out and about. The scarf made me feel confident to breastfeed in public. The material is good quality - baby doesn't get too hot underneath it - that was my concern with other breastfeeding scarves. I would highly recommend the mama designs scarves."

Made from 70 per cent bamboo muslin and 30 per cent cotton muslin, this breastfeeding cover is natural, cuddle-able and super soft. It's versatile too as it can be used as a burp cloth, swaddle, pram cover and even a teething ring, making it a great present for any parent-to-be. First time mum said: "Such an excellent product that I wouldn't be without in my changing bag. As a first time mum breast feeding in public was so daunting but this product has helped give me confidence. I'm now 2 months in to the breastfeeding journey and generally only use it if I'm somewhere really busy for a bit of privacy while we feed or just while I get my baby to latch and then I move it out of the way. It then doubles perfectly as a muslin so once my baby has fed I flip it over my shoulder for winding. I've also used it as a comforter and swaddle and to shade my son on a walk when it was particularly windy. It's got so many uses and it's great quality and soft material. Highly recommended!"

Made in the UK, this breastfeeding cover gives more coverage than many other brands. It's made from 100 per cent cotton fabric, resulting in a lighter, looser, and more comfortable cover. We love the polka dot design; it has a boned neckline, allowing you to keep eye contact with your baby while they feed. One parent who said BebeChic breastfeeding cover had helped her with self-confidence said: "This came in handy while breastfeeding out and about. I wasn't embarrassed about feeding, but whipping your chest out in a waiting room or on the street when you have to lift up your entire top, wasn't something I cared for - cold too! I was more embarrassed about my post-baby tummy than my boobs. This has great coverage, a nice design, and a handy wire that allows you to look down at your baby, and stops them getting a face full of apron. Highly recommended."

With over 5,500 reviews on Amazon, this cover is super popular. It's ultra-soft and breathable, allowing free and easy air movement to keep you and your baby relaxed and comfortable. Reviewers loved how it can be used for multiple different uses. Glad with its coverage, one parent said: "I dont often write reviews but this product is amazing.. I bought it as a nursing cover (which it is fantastic for) but I didn't expect to use it in so many other ways! As in photo I use it to protect from cold wind at the beach. Its handy to guide from glare of sun. Useful to keep settled on a nap or avoid distraction when trying to get baby to sleep. For nursing it's so handy, you can rummage about underneath without fear of flashing and it's much easier to take on and off than lots of other nursing covers - although I tend to just wear it round my neck as a scarf when out. Very soft. Handy wee bag. As you can see from the length of my review... I really can't recommend it enough. I'm buying another!"

A one-size-fits-all apron, easy to roll up and carry with you wherever you go. It features two pockets, to pop in your phone and other stuff, and the strap is adjustable. It's machine washable and comes with a little bag to store it nicely away too. Impressed with this style, one buyer said: "Since purchasing the nursing cover I have been using this a lot for over 6 months without any issues. The style of the cover gives me great privacy and it is easy to put on/remove especially when holding my little one. Can adapt the neck strap easily and be able to see inside the cover. Material is great as it's not too thin or thick. Pockets are very handy for putting things in. I've washed this a lot and it still looks/feels great!"
