Joley is now 15 months old. I am very proud to say that she is still a breastfed baby. She nurses once a day still despite the consumption of other liquids and all kinds of food. It is something that she enjoys and something that I enjoy doing for her. I didn’t think we would breastfeed this long, yet here we are.
With a growing baby, it has become harder and harder to control her. She wants to do acrobatics while nursing and that can be an issue if we are anywhere outside the privacy of our house. I can’t keep a cover on her any longer because she is too busy and wants to see what is going on around her. I may as well not even try a cover anymore because I end up flashing anyone around me. But, I have been able to try a very fun and cute alternative to the nursing cover, MoBoleez!
MoBoleez was founded by Diane Sam, a nursing mother of two who wanted to design something unique and fun in support of the breastfeeding mom. Diane is passionate about breastfeeding and wanted a line of products that reflected the love between mother and baby and was playful, natural and “non-medicalized”.
MoBoleez are hats worn by the breastfed baby that gives mom some privacy while feeding and shields the baby from light and noise. What I love about the MoBoleez hats are that they are not only useful, but are super cute! There are many designs to choose from that are all Canadian-made and eco-friendly. You don’t have to worry about the hat falling off either. Once on, the hat stays in place to allow you to relax while feeding your little one.
I love the MoBoleez hat we received. Sadly, I haven’t had a photo taken when I was nursing Joley in the hat (horribly sad really) so I can’t share with you what it looks like on her. But, I promise you that it is absolutely adorable! I love that I can just throw the hat into the wash (gentle cycle) and lay flat to dry. It couldn’t be much easier than that! Some of the hats have adorable pictures and sayings on them while others are only a design. There is something for every taste and liking.
I think that a MoBoleez hat would be a perfect shower gift to an expecting mom. Any mother that breastfeeds would likely love this gift. It is not only useful, but so cute too! You can buy a MoBoleez hat in size 0-6 months and 6-12 months for a very affordable price of $29 to $34.
Thanks to Diane Sam of MoBoleez, I am so happy to tell you that one of you will be lucky enough to try a MoBoleez hat too!

I love the Elegance print the best, but they are all adorable! What a great idea. I hate to cover with a blanket, this looks so much more baby friendly!

Gotta say, that is an awesome idea…. I just love it. I’m a friend on Twitter, and I’ll be back when I’m on my PC to tell you which fabric I like best. Even if I don’t win, I’d really like this as a shower gift for a close friend. Along with my fave breastfeeding books. 🙂 great product find!!
I have to say that the black and white fancy fabric is very very tasteful. I think I like that one the best. 🙂
