Abstract: A nursing garment in the form of a loose fitting poncho having an opening at its upper end to enable it to be drawn down over the head of the wearer, and a rigid annular neckpiece in the form of a hoop secured to the fabric of the poncho and surrounding the opening. The poncho is intended to fit loosely over at least the upper portion of the body of the person wearing it, and the neckpiece is intended to fit loosely around the neck of the wearer. The garment provides a simple and inexpensive means for permitting a mother to nurse her baby in public without fear of exposure. Moreover, the neckpiece provides a simple means for enabling the mother to look down into the interior of the garment to observe the baby.
