Most people would go ahead and buy a dollar store scarf at the dollar store. That’s what I did. I bought TWO of them in fact. But if you don’t have a dollar store handy and you aren’t in a big hurry you can get one from Amazon
So, without further ado, here we go. If you have a dollar store scarf, you might not need . . .
I have bought a nursing cover. I have sewed one. But I don’t use them anymore. I now prefer a scarf. We’ve already talked about it. It was a whole thing. Anyway, a dollar store scarf works like a dream for public-top-down-well-mannered nursing, which is the kind I most often attempt to practice.
It also works as something to sit on for sitting up babies who don’t like the feel of grass. I’ve had a couple of those.
This one is for in a pinch. I love and have and use my Ergo. But I sometimes forget and don’t have and can’t use my Ergo. But then, if I need to walk somewhere, or have SOME access to both hands, or if baby needs to sleep but doesn’t want to nurse, I make a makeshift carrier out of the scarf. I just line the two ends up together and tie a simple overhand knot.
It is NOT particularly comfortable or stable. I’m sure it’s not “safe.” But it has sometimes come in handy for me.
Sometimes you think you need a bunch of fancy stuff to entertain your baby. And sometimes you realize that babies will chew on pretty much anything for quite a while. Hey, why not a scarf? If you ALSO have an eight year old to add to the mix, the entertainment possibilities are pretty much limited only by said eight year old’s imagination.
