Abstract: A nursing cape which covers the infant and the torso of the mother to provide privacy. Viewing ports made of netting are provided to allow eye contact between mother and infant, while also providing ventilation. The viewing ports include covering flaps for additional privacy. A flexible, conventional head band becomes a neck-band by being is sewn into the collar of the cape, and grasps the mother's neck to hold the cape in place. The neck-band allows the cape to be put on using only one hand, thereby allowing the mother to hold the infant in her other arm. A split front panel is provided in the front of the cape forming two flaps. These flaps naturally overlap one another, to conceal both the infant and the torso of the wearer.
