  • Patent number: 4384371
    Abstract: An article of wearing apparel in the form of a bonnet for use by infants when being breast fed which includes a unique structure that conceals the breast from view, thereby enabling a child to be breast fed in public without the mother exposing her breast to public view. The structure of the bonnet which enables this function to be advantageously obtained includes a relatively wide brim detachably connected to the forward edge portion of a conventional bonnet in which the width of the flexible brim is sufficient that the brim will conceal the breast while a child is being breast fed in public, thereby eliminating any embarrassment of a modest nursing mother and increasing the acceptance of women nursing babies in public places inasmuch as the breast will not be exposed to view by the public when breast feeding.
