After Maggie Gyllenhaal was photographed by paparazzi in a park along the Hudson river baring her breast while nursing, starlets began snapping up Hooters Hiders—a cover that resembles a hair-cutting cape and referred to by Hollywood insiders as a "paparazzi shield." It shields the progeny of the rich and famous so they might breastfeed in the style and (relative) glamour they're accustomed to. Fair enough. But it's the Milkscreen that is the true star of these newfangled mommy must-haves.
This Milkscreen, to some, is absolutely mandatory—above and beyond any breast coverage. The Milkscreen is a simple two-minute home test that detects alcohol in breast milk so that a mom can determine the second it is safe to feed baby after having a glass of wine. Precious wine! Effectively, it works both sides of the fence, protecting the baby as well as helping to put the invasive public's mind at ease. And to be fair, after nine grueling months of pregnancy and endless, hounding paparazzi, an occasional drink is well-deserved. As one Hollywood mom put it, "The product is genius and beats pumping and dumping."
