Review - BabyBond Nursing Cover


Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is every-mum's dream that has to be come true. There are so many benefits by breastfeeding your baby. As a new mum, I want to do it too. I've read so many books about breastfeeding and the main things that I can remember about how to do it perfectly are that we should:
  • give the milk everytime your baby wants it. It means everytime, and everywhere. Breast milk won't run out easily. The fact is: the more you give it to your baby, the more you produce the milk.
  • maintain eye contact with the baby, specially if s/he has been able to see clearly. It is very important to enrich the relationship between.
  • keep the baby (and yourself) as comfort as possible, since usually breastfeeding is very. time-consuming.
For me, breastfeeding at home has no problem at all. But I always afraid if I should do it at public area. I wear hijab, so people may think I can hide my baby, Ilmi, with hijab when breastfeeding. But, it is a big NO. See that he is covered with my hijab, he may run out of oxygen. And that is very annoying.

There are types of nursing cover that is popular here in Indonesia. The first type is one that looks like an apron. It is okay and it is not cover the baby. But sometimes the baby feels the heat (specially this summer). The other is a nursing dress/clothes. Well, we may wear it sometimes, but we don't want to wear same clothes everytime. And buying so many of nursing clothes is too extravagant You will not wear them once you stop breastfeeding.

I found this BabyBondTM and am blessed to receive one of the products to review. BabyBond is a nursing cover that is worn like a sash. Covers me, not my baby.

There are three types: BabyBond Original which has a built-in burp cloth on it, BabyBond Flex that comes with a removable burp cloth, and BabyBond Couture which also can be used as belly band. They comes in various colours and sizes.

  

I choose BabyBond Flex in night colour to review. It is made from a good quality cotton. It is very soft that doesn't hurt Ilmi when he accidentally pressed his cheek on it. When I breastfeed at home, I still can use the burp cloth around Ilmi's neck so the milk won't stain his cloth and neck. The burp cloth is quite wide.

It takes a few times for me and Ilmi adapting with this new product. At first, I wrongly pull the layer. I pull the second layer to the top, so Ilmi hardly do the latch on. But now we can do it very well. We feel the difference. Don't worry, they have some how-to videos to help you wear the products.

At the future, I hope they add more colours and patterns so mummies can choose their favourite colours and mix n' match it with their suit. Happy breastfeeding :)
