Nursing Pillows

About

Nursing pillows for breastfeeding and bottle feeding Holding your baby up at the breast through a long feed is hard on your arms, shoulders and back, and in the early weeks there are a lot of feeds. A nursing pillow goes round your waist and raises your baby to the breast, so it takes their weight instead of you, and it works just as well for bottle feeds. Ours has a firm filling, so your baby doesn't sink into it, and because it sits round you rather than balancing on your lap, it stays where you put it. After a C-section it keeps your baby's weight off your incision, and between feeds it's there for supervised tummy time and, later, for support while your baby learns to sit. It's never a place for your baby to sleep. The pillows differ only in their covers. A no box version is the same pillow and cover without the retail box, so choose a boxed one if it's a present. Spare covers zip on and off in seconds: the printed ones are 100% organic cotton, and the plain one is a soft polyester that dries quicker.
