My Brest Friend Breastfeeding Pillow Natural

Our midwives and lactation consultants said just use whatever pillows we had on hand. After a c-section all the pillows weren't cutting it. My back was spasming, my baby was stressed out when we'd try and position her during feeds and I was constantly adjusting and moving all those stupid pillows. This honestly has changed everything. It keeps my babe aligned, it's one-piece so I'm not constantly fussing it. it has back support, it supports my babes head with the two foam bulges on the shelf. I would recommend this to any breastfeeding mama in the early days.

Wow! This pillow has completely changed my breastfeeding experience. I was feeding the traditional way and ended up having a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders due to bad posture. This pillow is easily adjustable, sits comfortably under the breasts and my baby seems to feed much better. Well worth the money.

The pillow comes loose in a plastic bag, does not come with the sturdy plastic cover that you get in the retail shops. Will be impossible to keep clean when in storage. Very disappointed

My sister recommended this before I had my baby, and I didn't give it much further thought until after my c-section seven weeks ago. My son had trouble latching from the start, but my post-surgery body wasn't up for the contortions needed to try all the elaborate positions that were supposed to improve his latch. The My Brest Friend pillow basically let me concentrate on feeding my baby without having to master a new form of yoga first.The pillow is very firm, filled with what feels like compressed foam. Essentially it forms a shelf under your breasts where your baby can lie comfortably. There is also a raised bit in front of each breast that supports your baby's head. In the back is a smaller bit that fits in the small of your back - as another reviewer noted, you won't be able to lean back against this bit by itself, but it is very effective at keeping the pillow in place comfortably. You can adjust the fit by using the long Velcro strip that holds the closure strap in place (it fit my post-birth belly with plenty of room to spare, and I'm not a skinny person!). Once you're happy with the fit, you only ever have to clip and unclip it after that.With the pillow on, I can basically nurse one-handed, just holding my baby against my body. There's no lifting at all, and no messing around with positioning and support. Now that my scars have healed up and we've properly established feeding, I still use the pillow about half of the time. Lovely to just let the wee one do his thing while I read or play on the iPad!

Oh man, positioning a baby and holding them for hours every day was so painful it messed up my tendons and basically turned my hands into claws. Then, my family doctor (also a mom) recommended (actually commanded) that I buy this pillow for breast feeding and WOW has it been a life saver! It makes it painless to position and support a baby while feeding, it has a handy pocket for whatever you want to put in there (nipple shields, tissues, nipple pads, cellphone), and it's pretty easy to clean. My other breastfeeding friends were amazed when they saw me use it at our last hangout and now they all want one too. Strongly recommend!
