Nursing Covers Australia - Breastfeeding Covers for Feeding On the Go
Breastfeeding in public becomes so much easier with the right nursing cover. At Peekaboo Baby, our breastfeeding covers are designed to offer comfort, coverage and confidence wherever you are - from the shopping centre to a cafe catch-up with friends. Our covers are made from breathable, lightweight fabrics that keep both mum and baby comfortable, even on warm Australian days. Browse alongside our nursing pillows, nursing bras, nursing tops and nursing dresses for a complete feeding wardrobe.
Modern nursing covers are far more versatile than you might expect. Many styles work as a pram cover, shopping trolley cover, change mat cover or even a stylish scarf - so you get multiple uses from one item. Rigid necklines that bow out allow you to maintain eye contact with your baby while feeding, which is helpful in the early weeks when you are still learning to latch. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in a nursing cover
- Breathable fabric - lightweight cotton or muslin prevents overheating for both mum and baby during feeds
- Rigid neckline or boning - a structured neck opening lets you see baby's face and maintain eye contact during the latch
- Full coverage - choose a size and shape that provides enough coverage for your body and feeding position
- Adjustable strap or loop - a neck loop or adjustable strap keeps the cover in place so your hands stay free
- Multi-use design - covers that double as a scarf or pram cover offer better value day to day
- Easy washing - machine-washable fabrics are essential for a cover that gets daily use

Nursing Covers - Frequently Asked Questions
You do not need a nursing cover to breastfeed in public - breastfeeding is your legal right in Australia regardless of coverage. However, many mums feel more confident with a cover, especially in the early weeks while establishing feeding. It is a personal choice.
This is a valid concern, particularly in the Australian heat. Look for covers made from breathable fabrics like lightweight cotton or muslin. Covers with a rigid or bowed neckline create a small air gap at the top, improving ventilation. Avoid thick or synthetic fabrics in warm weather.
Yes, though it takes a little practice. A cover with a rigid neck opening helps you see what you are doing during latch, which is especially useful in the early weeks. Many mums find covers easier to use once breastfeeding is well established at 4-6 weeks.
Many nursing covers can be used as a pram or capsule sunshade, a shopping trolley cover for hygiene, a light blanket on cool days, or worn as an infinity scarf when not feeding. This versatility means you get great value from just one item.
Most nursing covers are machine washable on a gentle or delicate cycle in cold or warm water. Avoid tumble drying on high heat. Air drying preserves the shape and softness, particularly for cotton or muslin styles.
Most nursing covers are one-size. The key measurement is the length from the neckline to the hem - it should cover your torso and provide full coverage in your most common feeding position, whether sitting upright or reclined.
