ABSTRACT:
A nursing cover including a sheet with a stiffener pocket, a first strap, and a second strap disposed along the top edge of the sheet. The first strap and second strap are configured to detachably couple together. A stiffener comprised of a shape memory material comprising a material memory is housed within the stiffener pocket. The stiffener has a first end and a second end being formed as part of the stiffener. The first end and the second end have a substantially smooth surface to prevent abrading the stiffener pocket. The material memory in the stiffener assumes a pre-determined shape when force is not applied to the stiffener, temporarily deforms without breaking the stiffener when force is applied to the stiffener, and reassumes the pre-determined shape when force is removed from the stiffener.
