Last year when I was pregnant with my daughter a friend pulled out one of these nursing cover type of things and then nursed her baby but could still see the baby. She didn't even have to worry that the baby was going to suddenly rip the blanket off! I thought it was a great idea especially when you live somewhere hot and sweltering like I do. Then the baby won't be hot with a blanket on them and they are protected from the hot sun too. I used this for a car seat cover sometimes too. I decided to just figure out how to make my own since we don't have a store here in Japan that I can just pop in and buy one of these.
