<p>A nursing cape (10) to discretely cover a mother when breast-feeding in a public place is described. A disposable version of the nursing cape (110) comprises one layer comprising suitable material, such as non-woven polyrayon (111). A water repellant film, disposed upon the inner surface of the one layer, helps keep liquid from soaking through the cape (110). A permanent version of the nursing cape has two layers suitably joined together. The outer layer (12) is formed of a softer, absorbent material, such as cotton. The inner layer (14) is non-porous and prevents liquid from seeping therethrough. The nursing cape, whether the disposable version (10) or the permanent version (10), affords privacy to a mother breast-feeding a child. The cape further protects the mother's clothing when burping the child after feeding. The cape (100, 110) also furnishes protection when bottle feeding the infant. The cape may further include a bottle holder (50), a storage pocket (56), a pacifier holder (48), and cuffs (34 and 36) for catching falling liquids or solids.</p> |
