Abstract: A shirt incorporating a padded torso section formed with padding sewn onto an interior layer of an encompassing shell which in turn is sewn onto the exterior layer of the shell. Additional stitching passing through the padding and the interior and exterior layers of the shell can form a pleasing geometric pattern. The padded torso section provides comfort to the caregiver and to the infant resting on the torso of the caregiver. The padding can be secured to the interior shell member in a detachable manner to permit the removal of the padding from the upper torso section of the shirt. The shirt can be constructed as a nursing shirt, utilizing various forms of fasteners, and having an overlapping cover secured to the torso section to be used as a privacy cover.
