Can someone please direct me to a pattern for a breast feeding cover. It has a strap that goes over your head and covers the entire baby. The picture I saw of one looks pretty simple to do, but I would rather work with a pattern if need be. Thank you all for your help

I googled 'breast feeding cover pattern" and dozens came up. Here's one from youtube:

I made one for a dad for night feeds.
This pattern is at e-patterns central.it is called http://www.e-patternscentral.com/det...=433&criteria= .

Ps I put my straps on the corners these felt too close.

Hadn't seen these. Are you sure the recipient would use it? Anything that might be interpreted by a new mother as an unasked for opinion on how she should feed her baby is, in my experience, one of the things most likely to get a negative reaction.

My daughter has one that she used when she was going to be feeding her daughters away from home. Her's was store bought. I had never seen one before I saw hers. I nursed all my children but just used a receiving blanket thrown over my shoulder when I nursed away from home.

Don't know anything about these. My advice would be to not make it too heavy. Baby may get too warm.

Having been a nursing mom (ages ago! LOL), I agree with Another Phyllis. Most nursing moms tend to supply plenty of heat, on their own. Unless she's planning to nurse the baby in a blizzard, I'd make the cover-up lightweight!

I made some four years ago for my DD. I got the pattern from the Annie's catalog. It had a different name back then.

Have made 3-4 of these if you go to you tube and put "Hooter Hider" in the search the tutorial will come up. It has been my experience that they really do not get used much.
