Nursing shawls are highly innovative drapes that have added a new dimension to the lineage of shawls used for nursing purposes. They have been specifically designed to provide absolute privacy to mothers while feeding the child. The top has a stretchy elastic so that the shawl is not displaced from the shoulder. Also the fabric of these items is very soft and is manufactured by using either a single or blended yarns. Some of them are as follows:

• 80% Cotton & 20% Polyester
• 100% Polyester
• 90% Nylon & 10% Lycra
• 100% Muslin

Nursing shawls can be used to feed babies anywhere and at anytime without any hitch and hesitation of getting exposed. They, however not only have high utilitarian value but come in extremely alluring patterns as well. Designs such as Jamawar, Paisleys etc. may either be woven or adorned externally employing works such as embroidery, patchwork, applique work etc.

Owing to the unique design and patterns of these utility items, the demand for these products has immensely risen in the last few decades.
