Carry-on details
Allowed, no restrictions. A nursing cover is just fabric — an apron, scarf, or poncho-style cover — so it doesn't fall under any TSA liquid, sharp, or battery rule. Pack it in your carry-on and keep it accessible if you'll need it during the flight.
Checked-bag details
Allowed, no restrictions. Nursing covers can be packed in checked baggage in any quantity.
