Breastfeeding Pillow

When I was breastfeeding my first child, some 10 years ago (gasp), there was one pillow, The Boppy. Now the market has many choices.I will review the 3 pillows that I see the best success with in my lactation practice.

My Brest Friend

Product Description:My Brest Friend Pillow secures to your body helping mom & baby maintain positioning and latch-on. Back rest encourages good posture and prevents sore back & neck. Firm, flat cushion keeps baby from rolling. 100% cotton cover is machine washable. Fits up to 44" waist.

My review: My favorite nursing pillow for singletons (not multiples), it works well and stays put. The only problem I have ever seen with this pillow is for mommies with a larger waistline.

Boppy

Product Description: Boppy Bare Naked Voted the #1 baby product in America five years in a row, the Boppy Bare Naked will give your tired arms and neck a rest. Made for Everyone Big or small, moms or dads, everyone can use the Boppy Bare Naked while feeding baby. This award-winning pillow places the user in an ergonomically correct position reducing stress to the body. The new Miracle Middle panel stretches the width of the pillow to accomodate all sizes, while still keeping its shape throughout!

My review: Still the best seller but not my favorite, although it works well for most, I personally found it to rigid for my taste.

Twin Pillow

Product Description: EZ-2-Nurse Twins" Plush Feeding Pillow for you and your twins! The Original Twin Nursing Pillow by Double Blessings ~ sold worldwide Patented design created by a nursing mother of twins "This pillow is a must-have for feeding twins. Extra features are: Adjustable strap and side-release buckle secures pillow in place. Convenient pocket for cell phone, remote and burp cloth. Free of lead and Phthalates

My review: With wider sides, it makes nursing twins much easier. The other nursing pillows just simply do not cut it for multiples.

I hope this article Breastfeeding Pillow helps you.
