Baby Nursing Pillow

A baby nursing pillow helps with positioning, and not just when nursing, but for bottle feeding as well.

There are many varieties of breastfeeding pillows and each has it's own unique benefits. With so many choices it can be hard to know what works best, but here is some useful information to help you decide.

U-Shaped Nursing Pillows

One of the more commonly seen styles of nursing pillows resembles a puffy, wide, horse-shoe. The mother places it around her waist area and the baby rests on top. You can get these pillows in so many color patterns too.

• The My Brest Friend brand pillow has a strap that goes completely around the mother to securely fasten in place.
• The popular Boppy Baby Nursing Pillow can also be used to prop baby while awake to help see his environment.

Other popular brands for this style pillow are: Summer Infant Nurse-EZ Plus, and Leachco Cuddle-U Nursing Pillow.

Contour Nursing Pillows

Another very popular style breastfeeding pillow is more contour shaped. These pillows sit on mom's lap rather than wrapping around her and provides support while feeding baby. It is easy to adjust these pillows depending on which side mom is holding or feeding.

Popular brands for this style include: Kushies, Leachco, and Balboa.
