10 Best Nursing Covers UK 2024 | Bebe au Lait, LifeTree and More

This scarf from Dodo Baby has a firm fan base with over 80% 5* reviews on Amazon, which is no mean feat when it comes to baby products! It comes with lots of bonus extras such as a storage pouch, dummy clips, and a dummy case giving it plenty of added value for its very reasonable cost.

The breathable fabric has a neutral-but-pretty design and is very stretchy too, and it can also be used as a pram cover, a car seat cover, or even a high chair liner. We think this offers not only fantastic value for money, but lots of added benefits that will come in handy when feeding and keeping your baby safe and happy. Our star buy!

This nursing apron from BebeChic comes in attractive polka dot poplin fabric which promises to be lightweight whilst giving good coverage. The rigid hoop feature is made from high-quality polyester boning to allow you to have eye contact with your baby without needing to hold the cover away from you.

This clever design means you can easily check on baby if they need to be monitored, and previous users have advised how much confidence this nursing apron gave them in the first few months of breastfeeding. Overall, this is a simple and well-made product for a great price. 

The design of this premium apron from top-rated brand Bebe au Lait means that it's easy for you to stay covered up whilst also being able to see your baby easily. The quality cotton keeps it shape even after lots of washing, and its pretty "Acapulco" print will make you look forward to wearing it! 

Where this nursing apron falls short of being in our top two is the relatively high price, and also that it can be tricky adjusting the neck strap to the correct length – especially when you have a hungry baby screaming to be fed! 

This nursing poncho from LifeTree comes with a small storage pouch so you can fold it up and stow it away safely in the smallest of spaces in your bag. Unlike other ponchos that claim to be multifunctional but don't quite hit the mark, this one is actually really good at becoming an impromptu car seat or pram cover as it stays in place. 

The stripe design is simple yet stylish, and the rayon-spandex fabric has great stretch but promises not to lose its shape.  The large size will fit most bodies too, and will be ideal for the cooler months as it offers that little bit more warmth for you and your baby.

Auranso have designed this nursing apron to provide more confidence for mums to breastfeed even in the busiest places. The boned top allows you to keep an eye on your baby while also allowing air to circulate. The neck strap means that you can easily adjust it to your preferred height, and the corners have towelling patches so it's easy to mop up dribbles and drips with minimum fuss. 

There are also straps that are designed to wrap around your waist for extra security, but mums say that these can be annoying – some even cut them off to get them out the way! But this is one minor point for what is otherwise a really great product.

There are lots of mums who are fans of this top, and they love how it's breathable so their baby doesn't overheat easily. The neutral colours and plain design means that it will go with everything from jeans to leggings – so much so it can be used as a comfy top long after you've finished breastfeeding!

Where this poncho falls slightly short is that it has an open back design with a button at the neck. While this makes feeding easy, you will also need to make sure you have an appropriate top or vest on underneath that also allows you to breastfeed, otherwise your bare back will be exposed. This can also make it unsuitable for warmer weather as you'll need another layer underneath. 

This scarf from Mama Designs comes in a chic navy blue cotton fabric, and is designed to be tied around your neck to cover up as you're feeding your little one. It also has a handy pocket to hold items you may need close at hand such as breast pads, so you don't have to uncover yourself to finish up feeding. 

Some mums have noted that it can be difficult to tie it in a way that is high enough to provide a good level of coverage, so it may not be ideal for those looking to cover up while expressing with a pump. 

This scarf from Neotech Baby promises to be super stretchy whilst also remaining opaque, and it comes with instructions on the various ways to wear it including how to use it as a nursing cover. The grey marl is fashion-forward enough to be really wearable whilst also being really good at disguising any marks and stains that will inevitably occur. 

While it comes with instructions, women have reported that this can be quite confusing to use as the openings at each end are so wide. Some had to resort to looking at YouTube to find out how to wrap it so their baby was secure and they were properly covered. If you can get the knack for doing this, this scarf may prove really useful. 

The anti-slip shoulder design of this nursing scarf is quite clever, and it means that you don't have to constantly hold it in place – leaving you with a free hand to help your baby, sip your tea or read your book! The neutral grey colour also means it will most likely tone in with your clothes so you can wear it as a scarf. 

While this works well as a nursing scarf, the makers have again marketed this as a sun screen for a car seat or pram, but it sadly doesn't perform these additional functions as well as it could do. It's also at the top end of our price scale, and some users have said that it isn't worth the money given the limited functionality. 

This poncho from Nuobesty is supremely soft making it comfortable and easy to wear. The modal fabric is really stretchy too, so it's easy to pull on and off over your head. The diagonal white stripes are not only flattering but they're also really good at hiding the shape of your baby underneath, so are less likely to draw attention to you as you nurse. 

This scarf is described to be multifunctional as the makers say that it can double as pushchair cover. However, the triangle cut of this poncho may not lend itself well to this, as there're no clear indication how you would use the poncho in this way. This is worth bearing in mind if you want something that will be suitable for other uses.
