Ashley's Favorite Things: Bizzy Babee Giveaway

We have another giveaway this week, from Bizzy Babee nursing covers! To be honest, when this one landed in my inbox, I only gave it a cursory glance at first. I'm not that into baby stuff now that I don't have babies and don't want to be giving away a ton of baby stuff, mostly because there is so dang much of it and a lot of it is completely pointless.

And I've always rolled my eyes a bit at other nursing covers. No offense, other nursing covers.

But my childhood best friend, Katy, had a baby not long ago and asked me for a refresher course on how to tuck a baby blanket into your bra to create an impromptu nursing cover. Both of us were of the opinion that regular nursing covers were practically a billboard advertising your activity and not worth the trouble or diaper bag space, and although the blanket trick doesn't look good (at all), it is effective enough. 

I've got to say though, I think Bizzy Babee nursing covers have finally gotten it right. I was hopeful when I clicked on the link and it looked discreet, comfortable, and easy to use. They sent one to Katy for review and we met for lunch to check it out. The color was a really pretty deep plum, the fabric was light, breathable and of nice quality and workmanship, and the cut was fantastic. Katy was wearing a long sleeved white shirt that day and when she put the Bizzy Babee nursing cover on, it looked like a normal fashion accessory. I know that seems highly unlikely, and I would hesitate to believe it if I hadn't seen it myself, but even Katy agreed that it looked nice on and she's a fashion designer. (Shoes, but same difference. She knows what looks good).

See? That looks good.

And then, of course, came the actual nursing with it which was easy to do. No fumbling with bra strap tucking, no stomach exposure, plenty of cover to adjust your nursing bra without creating a scene, and the neck line was wide enough that she could easily peek inside at baby. She just looked like a regular person sitting and eating her lunch, you wouldn't have given her a second glance unless you were wishing you had a nice, comfy poncho like that.

Man, it turns out I had a surprising amount to write about it, but the Bizzy Babee nursing cover really is wonderful in its simple sophistication. I guess I'm just overly excited that there is an option for nursing moms that isn't total dork city. And maybe I kind of miss nursing sometimes. Not all of the blanket/bra strap tucking and leaking and all of that, but you know, the rest of it, and I would have felt slightly more glamorous in one of these. Maybe I need one anyway, I could sneak candy into the movies and snuggle up in my seat! Like a cool person's Snuggie!

But anyway, one of you can win one. How nice is that? US friends only, sorry, especially for you Canadians who are among my favorite people in the universe. Leave a comment below through the end of February 23rd, 2013 to be entered to win one Bizzy Babee nursing cover and I will choose one winner via random number generator.
