MoBoleez nursing bonnets: Making breastfeeding more stylish?

If, like most new moms, you’re a shy breast-feeder, there’s a new — rather zany — product on the market that won’t leave you feeling exposed when feeding your bambino in the middle of a restaurant.
The MoBoleez breastfeeding bonnet, a hat with a super-wide brim that covers your chest when propped on your baby’s head, is meant to make feedings more private — and stylish.
The hats, which bear cutesy sayings such as ‘Milky Way’ and ‘Bee-licious,’ boast a special ‘stay on head sideways’ design that the company claims keeps the hat firmly in place.
MoBoleez was founded by Diane Sam, a nursing mother of two who wanted to design something ‘unique and fun’ to hide breastfeeding that didn’t resemble a shroud or a dropcloth.
I wonder whether the sheer size of the hat (which could perhaps double as a satellite dish?) wouldn’t cause people to stare even more at the goings-ons in the bosom region.
But there’s no denying that the bonnet is a novel, amusing idea. And priced at $29, it’s a solid baby shower gift that won’t be easily forgotten.
