Homebase: Los Gatos, CA New moms love Bebe Au Lait's nursing cover with the rigid neckline that allows her to watch baby as she feeds while keeping the works under wraps. Claire Ekelund and company offer the cover as well as a "family of products": burp cloths, hooded towels, bibs and gift sets in elegant coordinating cotton prints. To celebrate 10/10/10, they introduced ten new patterns ($8-$25 wholesale).
