Quick Tips:
To maximize the life and enjoyment of your Booby Trapper, we have a few tricks and tips for you.
Tip 1: General Usage
Set the neck strap at the desired length and simply slip the BT over your head for each use. You can even tie a single knot in the strap so that you know your BT is always set where you want it. Once on, shift the Booby Trapper off slightly to the side on which you're nursing, letting the ends of the middle rim rest against your body, the baby's body, or the back of your chair... this allows the Booby Trapper to "bow out" over the bust area, giving you the perfect view of your nursing baby.
Tip 2: What To Wear
Whenever possible, wear a stretchy (cotton and 5% spandex), lightweight tank top or t-shirt underneath your outer shirt. (Spaghetti straps or a low neck is best… available for $5-$10 at clothing or accessories stores.) When nursing, just lift your outer shirt above your bust area and pull the tank top down from the neck under your breast, just as you do with your nursing bra.
This ensures that your breast is fully exposed so that baby can attain a proper latch, but your torso is completely covered at all times. Best of all, you have no worries of milk spraying, baby unlatching unexpectedly, or noise and lights distracting your baby because you have the Booby Trapper covering your front.

Tip 3: For Those Active, Older Babies
The mother of a very large, active 7½ month-old provided this tip:
I find it helpful to hold my baby’s "top hand" while I’m nursing her. This keeps her from trying to grab the canopy – and she loves to look at my face and play with my fingers.
I simply place my free hand (the one on the non-nursing side) in the side of the canopy and let her grab my hand in the open space of the BT. She enjoys this so much that she even holds my hand when I'm not using my Booby Trapper. Just a little tip from a seasoned nursing veteran!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Here are a few answers to questions we hear most often.
How Do I Care For My Booby Trapper?
Hand wash or machine wash in cold (gentle cycle). Hang to dry. Do not iron. Do not fold rims sharply - creasing them can cause permanent damage to the product.
Never leave a child unattended with the Booby Trapper.
What Is The Best Way To Fold The Booby Trapper?
Simply place the neck inside the middle rim and curl them into a circle (16+ cm in diameter). Next, flop the circle down flat into the rest of the fabric two or three times. NEVER fold the BT rims in half or crease them in any way, as it could permanently damage the product.
