I breastfed my son for two years, and during that time, I was always reaching for whatever I could find to “cover up” in public. Anything from the shirt off my husband’s back to napkins from Dairy Queen was fair game to shield the world from the natural process of lactation.

Anyway, a Vancouver-based company called MoBoleez recently introduced this “breastfeeding hat” that’s basically a little bonnet for the baby with a big brim to cover up mom’s rack. The hats are soft and made from eco-friendly materials with cute expressions like “Milky Way” and “Bee-licious” stitched into the top of the hat that are visible during breastfeeding.

I love the practicality and the humor of the product, and I definitely will remember it for future shower gifts since my breastfeeding days are over.

MoBoleez breastfeeding hats cost $29.99 and are available on-line.
