Bebe au Lait was featured in the February 2009 issue of American Baby Magazine. The cover story, “10 Things You Need to Know About Nursing” is a great resource for new and expecting mothers who plan to breastfeed, or are breastfeeding. Our Papillon nursing cover is pictured in the article.

Bebe Au Lait Product Review

Posted by : JB on 29/01/2009


Before I become a mom I was mortified at the site of other women breast feeding in public. I once got in an argument about how rude my sister was, breastfeeding in a restaurant while every around her tried to enjoy their meal. One time I sat on a plane next to a woman breastfeeding and actually got up to find a different seat.

Pre-kids, I was very insensitive and non-understanding of the basic necessities involved in child rearing. Oblivious, I often boosted how I would never flash my boob to the world just because my baby was crying, nor would I ever plunk myself down in a public place and openly breast feed.

Oh, how we eat our words… I remember the first time I had to feed my son in the parking lot at the grocery store, the waiting room at the doctor’s office, standing in the immigration line at the airport and beside an uncomfortable mid-twenties man on a trans-Atlantic flight. As my own embarrassment subsided and the mother in me grew, breastfeeding wherever, whenever quickly took over.
 

No longer naive, I happily embraced the joy of breastfeeding and found BEBE AU LAIT nursing covers made those impromptu or unscheduled feeds more comfortable for me, my baby and the strangers around me. Designed for chic and fashionable moms, these covers feature a rigid neckline so Mom and only Mom can see what baby is doing. Optimum for discrete feeding or pumping sessions, you will never again feel exposed while your little one gets what they need. In amazing prints and colorful styles, one will easily meet your fancy. They are washable, wearable, and did I mention, fashionable.

These multi-purpose covers can also be used as a sun shade in the stroller, or a light-weight blanket while traveling. We used ours as a spontaneous picnic blanket one day at the beach. Moms are just so resourceful.

 The Five Most Useful Baby Items Ever, Ezra Edition

1) The Miracle Blanket. Not so much of a blanket but a swaddling straitjacket. If you've got a baby who has trouble settling down to sleep and startles awake easily, you will want at least two or three of these. (Bought for you by other people, of course, because they aren't cheap.)

2) Slings and Carriers. Ezra will vaguely tolerate a bouncy seat, haaaates swings, protests when placed on a blanket or play mat, and basically has rejected every other baby containment device on the market (except for one, which I'll mention in a bit). When he was brand new, I used a pouch-style sling for hours a day (and still do), and now that he's a bit bigger we're very much into our Ergo carrier, which I especially love because I can breastfeed completely hands-free, and it's SUPER comfortable and easy on the back. (And Jason can wear it to, since he's not super into my beautifully patterned fabric slings. Heh.)

3) Bumbo Seat. The only not-strapped-to-us place in the house he'll tolerate. I think he likes being upright and in constant eye contact with us. Most nights, it's the only way dinner gets onto the table and into my mouth.

4) Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover. Yeah, I know. Nursing in public is legal and everybody should get over themselves and stop flipping out over the sight of a baby sucking on a boob. I still am more comfortable when I can be discreet and covered. This cover lets you see the baby and get latched on and is very lightweight and roomy -- some babies refuse to eat under covers, but luckily Ezra doesn't seem to even notice it. And since he's spent about 99% of his life so far attached to my boobs, this thing has gotten a LOT of use.

5) Um. Cute socks. Yeah. I could honestly only think of four things that are absolutely essential to raising Ezra. He's just not that into baby gear. He wants to be swaddled, held, and breastfed, and that's about it. He's latched onto a Winnie the Pooh teething blanket as a lovey (something Noah never had any use for), but other than that, he doesn't require much STUFF. I really do love having lots and lots of cute socks and baby leg warmers though
 

 Oopsy Daisy Baby

The line launched with pettiskirts but then stirred up attention with vintage heirloom-worthy dresses and bloomers. Made with multiple layers of soft nylon and chiffon, the Oopsy Daisy Baby pettiskirts are far sweeter than any others we’ve seen in LA. Tiny embellishments such as satin polka dot ribbons and cherry blossom appliqués take these skirts to another level that celeb moms such as Courteney Cox, Denise Richards and Marcia Cross adore.

Carried over from summer and still wearable through a west coast winter are the Oopsy Daisy Baby Rosettes tanks and tees. Although designed to go with the pettiskirts, hip little city girls are loving them with jeans or khakis. Julianne Moore’s daughter Liv was seen in Cookie magazine recently wearing the raspberry tank and is a fan of the vintage chenille dresses.

Oopsy Daisy Baby is this season’s must-wear label for any little girl who loves to twirl. Oopsy Daisy Baby designer Daphne Henderson created a delightful line of “Girly Girl Couture” that takes little girls from whimsical to fashion forward.
