Product Review and GIVEAWAY - Bebe au Lait
Note: everyone, nursing or not, is welcome to enter this giveaway; this makes an awesome gift! And those of you adopting, don’t forget about your option to try and breastfeed your child. Breastmilk is a gift and breastfeeding promotes attachment like nothing else. I still regret not breastfeeding my boys (Jack because I didn’t know it was possible, and Shane because I was pregnant when we brought him home didn’t pursue it hard enough with him after delivering Finley). Here’s a link to a support group for breastfeeding in adoption.
I just KNEW I’d fall head-over-heels for a company that makes a nursing cover called a "Hooter Hider." There was a time, long ago (like 6 months ago, before I started nursing a baby), when the concept of hiding my hooters was, admittedly, foreign. Back then, I’d have been more intrigued by a product called a "Hooter Highlighter," but my oh my, times have changed! I digress…
Bebe au Lait makes one of my FAVORITE must have items for moms with newborns. This is probably one of the cutest, most useful gifts you could give someone who is expecting or has a young baby! Although they are called "nursing covers," don’t be deceived by that description; these chic boob tents are quite versatile! They double as sun covers, blankets, tummy time ground covers, or even carseat hoods when baby falls asleep. Plus, the prints are simply gorgeous. Bebe au Lait also makes an adorable burp cloth gift set, with beautiful fabric swatches on the cloths, many of which have prints that match a nursing cover.
This is my gorgeous friend, Holly, wearing her Hooter Hider - notice there’s a firm rim around the top that makes a tent, allowing eye contact to continue while baby is nursing and keeping fabric off baby’s face
Bebe au Lait nursing covers are one of those ‘hot mama’ products that make a mommy feel stylish, no matter what she’s hiding underneath! I mean, let’s face it. There’s only 1 person in the world who loves my "hooters" anymore, and that’s my 6 month old daughter. But everyone who has seen it is a fan of my Hooter Hider!
Here’s the deal for the giveaway: the super awesome people at Bebe au Lait will let the winner of this giveaway pick the cover of her choice (with the exception of the Simple Organic Nursing Covers)!! So the rules for the giveaway are:
1) Go visit Bebe au Lait’s website, then come back and drop a comment with your choice of nursing cover or hooter hider. Contest ends Sunday 10/12 at midnight, winner will be announced Monday 10/13.
2) Please remember to use a valid email address!! If your comment lands in my ‘moderation’ queue, don’t duplicate it; I will approve your comment and your comment will maintain the order in which it was left (the same # it would’ve been had it not gone to moderation first).
3) Winner will be RANDOMLY selected using www.random.org integers (whoever leaves the comment that matches the first randomly selected integer will be the winner)
4) You may enter twice if you have a blog and link to this post. Just drop a second comment linking to your blog post, that way I’ll know you linked and you will have 2 comments that’ll be entered.
5) You have to be willing to email me with your shipping address so I can send you your loot! Therefore, your comment will be disqualified if you are “anonymous” or have an invalid email address.

The yoko fabric is stunning!
Sevilla Bebe auLait is stylish!!

I fell in love with everything on their website! I didnt even know such a thing exsisted!!
I work in the nursey at Gold’s Gym and nurse my

yoko hooter hider!
Love the Sevilla Bebe Au Lait!
I love the “Mint Chocolate”.
[...] great giveaway!!! I’ve been reading this blog for a long time, and now I love it, if possible, even [...]
Don’t enter me - that’s okay, I just wanted to say I’m SO glad I typed in your blog address into my browser instead of relying on my rss feed - because you disappeared! Glad to hear you guys are still around!
Love the blomst cover. Count me in! Wish i would of known about the product when I had Gianna!
Will it withstand the wriggling of a 7month old who thinks that acrobatics while nursing are the norm? If so, sign me up for the Chocolat!
I loved my hooter hider when I was first learning to breastfeed in public. I don’t use is so much anymore with my almost 1 year old daughter, but I do give one to all my pregnant friends who want to breastfeed.
I like the kimono or hot dots.
Hope I win! I want a new one when/if we get pg again anyway.
I have a fear of nursing in public and I think this could help! I love the Chocolat print.
I like the Sevilla style Nursing Cover. I totally want/need one of these for my new baby!
I blogged about the giveaway!
militarywifeslife.blogspot.com/2008/10/nip.html
mint chocolate!
I like the idea od the fabric being held off the baby’s face for eyecontact.
I’m really liking that Chocolat pattern, and would love it for next spring’s #2 (boy or girl? will know next month!) that I will get to breastfeed! Miss Ethiopia was already too old for it by the time she came home…
Loving the Chocolat hooter hider! So would my husband for those times when the kids are around — oh wait — they aren’t used for that are they?! Hummmm what else could I do with it?!
Dawn
I love the “hot dots” design. I’m no longer breastfeeding, but would love to give this away as a gift, and spread the product name around even more!
I love the Mint Chocolate nursing cover!! I nursed my daughter for a year and we’re hoping and praying for #2.
I love the pink temple design, what a great idea for nursing in public! Thanks!
Love Yoko! Cool idea!
well OF COURSE I have to enter this contest! Our baby is due in 2 weeks and I am hoping hoping hoping to induce lactation!
I like papillon! What a great product, I am getting one for sure (if I don’t win). Your marketing is paying off! Not sure if this links back to my email, it is kathycondrey@gmail.com in case.
Love the Chocolat Hooter Hider! I nursed my two girls for over a year each and love to give nursing related gifts to all the new Moms….such a gift for both child AND Mommy.
Laurie said: nursing or not, is welcome to enter this giveaway; this makes an awesome gift
In that case (I am in the not category, but it would make a great gift!), I love to enter the contest. My email is JessT79@gmail.com just in case.
I would love one for this next one that is cooking! I liked the Papillion.

I also posted about the giveaway on my blog Rock Star Maternity
Ok, I’m not trying to win this one, but if I do I can pass it along to someone who needs it, but I had to say - I LOVE MY HOOTER HIDER! I wish I had known about it with #1 but got it in time for #2 - what a life saver.
I saw yours when we came in April and have since looked a couple of times to get one (but of course haven’t). If random.org so chooses to pick me, I’ll take the Kensington. And if they don’t pick me, I guess I’ll just have to buy one between now and the end of January
I love the Yoko hooter hider!
I like the “Kimono” print.
I first saw this when my SIL was using one with my niece, and I can’t wait to use one myself…in about 5 weeks!
I like the Shrine Aqua one! Cuteness!
I’d love the mint chocolate nursing cover. Pick me!
Hot Dots is cute. That is a pretty cool cover! like the name too.
Amy
The Kimono print is my favorite.
I like the yoko pattern! I want one!

I really like the Papillion!
Shrine aqua looks so pretty! My best friend is due in 2 months, this would be a perfect gift! I hope I win.

Love the Hooter Hider — it’s a gift for my daughter so what mother wouldn’t want one!!!
Grammie
Oh man- they’re all so cute, it’s hard to choose one. I like the Parfait. This is a great giveaway, Laurie!
OK- this is entry number two. I wonder if I’d have a better chance if my entries were spread farther apart… I mean, if Random.org doesn’t like number 67, would it really pick number 68, or 69? We’ll see…
I still like Parfait, or Pink Temple would be good, too. And I love the new look of your blog, Laurie! Really cute and fun!
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Hot Dots it is for me!! Love this whole concept, but, I have to tell ya…I am so sad that I did not know about this product before. My baby just turned 13 months and I have been trying to hide these hooters for a looonnnggg time, because they have become so loooonnnggg(just what everyone wanted to hear, I know the visual is almost too much). My friend’s 4 yr. old daughter wanted to know why mine were so “far down and long” ?? LOL!! I put her mind at ease and told her someday she would get some just like mine. Hahaha. I keep joking to my husband…”yeah, I used to be a 36D, now I am a 36Long!! Oh, well, worth every minute of it!! Love this new giveaway.
I like the hot dots!
Hooter Hiders Pink Temple Nursing Cover is so pretty ….my friend is having a girl and due in november!!
I think the Bebe au Lait Shrine Pink Nursing Cover is just beautiful!
cool product.
i like the kimono baby au lait fabric. gorgeous!
I love the Yoko Hooter Hider. What other time would you want a Hooter Hider? Good giveaway!
i like yoko! Pick me!
I like the hooter hider in Yoko. I like the fact that you can see your baby as your nursing her.
I love the Mint Chocolate Nursing Cover. What a great idea! I would certainly feel more comfortable feeding my baby in public (or when I have visitors) with one of these.
Hide my hooters! I like a lot of the prints, but if you are making me choose, today I say Chocolat is my favorite.
Look how many comments you’ve gotten! Hooter Hiders are a hit! I would love to give one to my sis. Thanks, Laurie!
I like the Yoko nursing cover. Pretty.
Fave is the Yoko-very versatile.
Love the pink….perfect for my friend who is pregnant with a baby girl:-) her first.
Great idea. They are all great colors, but I think I have to pick Yoko.
Pink temple and Parfait are my faves!
I’ll try for the Soft Spot Hooter Hider for my sister-in-law
I love the nursing cover in the Kimono print.
I really like the Kimono nursing cover!!!
Ahhh, I’ve been wanting one of these for so long!!!! I love the sevilla pattern
I love the Yoko Hooter Hider! Awesome print!
imanoptimisticbeauty[at]yahoo[dot]ca
the yoko bebe au lait is my pick!
I love the soft spot or parfait nursing cover! Tres chic.
/Clara
I’ll take one. Not nursing anymore, but my sister-in-law would love to have one. So cute!
LOVING the chocolat fabric!
I really like the Hot Dots print! If we ever have baby #2 then I ‘m sure that I would be out and about more than with the first kiddo. I’m sure that I will need something like this!
mint chocolate is pretty
I have an imitation version of this wrap and it was a Godsend when nursing my son. The only problem is I made the mistake of getting it in a light blue and white toile so the thing always looks dirty. Dark colors are the way to go with nursing wraps! It’s very hard to choose just one print but I would go with Chocolat. Do they make these in extra long/wide for when I attempt to nurse the twins when they’re born?!
I love the Bebe au Lait Kimono Nursing Cover! Really pretty yet functional.. This is my fave as i know how easily dirty nursing covers can get after using a pale one before.. Keep at it! Really great work…
Hi Laurie,
I love the bebe au lait Atlantic nursing cover. My sister is pregnant and I would like to offer her this nursing cover.
Love these! What a great idea–love the bebe au lait nursing cover in chocolat.
Tough choices–I love both the Chocolat or the Hot Dots Hooter Hider. I found it tough to tandem nurse twins in public, even with a Hooter Hider but know this will make a great gift for a friend pregnant with a singleton!
I made it yay! I quite like the chocolat Hooter Hider…you know I need it too. Wishing myself luck:)
I dig the yoko!
ooh, mint chocolate…but so many other good one too!
linkin’ what I like =)
http://timewithll.blogspot.com/
I’m still bf’ing my 14 month old!
I would love to have the “chocolate” Bebe Au Lait !
I love how you can keep an eye on your little one and they can keep an eye on you with the Hooter Hider! I’ve never seen a nursing cover with that feature before. The Yoko pattern is my favourite!
I love the black and white one because it goes with everything! OOOOHHHH I hope I win one for my bestest friend!
I just love these covers and they come so highly recommended!! I LOVE tented nursing covers! Who wants to bother with excess fabric from a cover that’s not tented or a blanket? Not me! Chocolat for me please!!
The black and white Yoko print is my favorite of these. What a nice (and stylish) idea for a nursing cover.
