My Brest Friend Original Nursing Pillow, Fireworks

Product Information

They can be used as a burping pillow as well. It helps with acid reflux and spit-up after feedings. What I also love about this pillow is that it can fit into a regular chair, an armchair, but it works just as well when you’re sitting up in bed, so you can use it anywhere. At the same time, a feeding pillow can be used for babies to lie on. The same goes for positioning yourself to achieve correct and non-painful latching. Look for a pillow that fits comfortably around your torso and provides adequate support for both you and your baby. Moreover, note that the cost of a nursing pillow differs by brand, material, features, and more—which we’ve broken down for you here.

Andrew Zenoff, the inventor of My Brest Friend, observed many of his friends struggling with this very issue. With a business degree, curiosity, and the desire to help, Andrew set out to do what no one had done before: create a nursing pillow with the sole purpose to meet the needs of breastfeeding moms and babies. In addition, it’s foam-free and hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about your little one having an allergic reaction.Since babies and messiness go hand in hand, you’ll be happy to know that this Boppy pillow can be removed and washed. The key to peaceful and full twin babies is giving them the same amount of attention at the same time – which is exactly what this My Brest Friend twin pillow was made for. Why We Like It: Three inner layers allow you to go from a full, soft pillow, to a shorter, harder one as your baby grows. We took time testing the pressure and softness of the pillow, as we wanted to know if the pillows felt adequately supportive, too firm, or too soft. While we understand a pillow's softness is a matter of personal preference, nursing pillows should always be stable and never so soft the baby “droops” or sinks. Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow:While we loved the high quality and easy-to-clean cover, the pillow didn’t provide adequate support to keep a baby at breast height.

You’ll want to experiment with different positions to find what works best for you and your babies. Eight testers evaluated 16 nursing pillows in the comfort of their homes for one month, assessing each on several attributes, including quality, ease of cleaning, support, and overall value. We also consulted with Meema Spadola, a postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor, to find out what to look for in a nursing pillow. Over 25 years later, the My Brest Friend nursing pillow is still beloved by millions nursing moms everywhere. Breastfeeding one baby can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. That’s how you know that every mom that’s breastfeeding two is nothing less than a superhero! The surface of this pillow allows the baby to lie flat and is stable so babies can’t roll over, and they can’t sink in it either.Considering the sometimes astronomical prices of some baby products, it’s always good to hear that some of them can be used in more than one way – breastfeeding pillows included! I’m guessing that the main culprit was the pillow material, which was too soft, so a stable and sturdy pillow is important. In testing we also discovered that you should position the strap to cover its Velcro closure, just to protect your and your baby's delicate clothing. Also note that this pillow cannot double as an infant lounger. A bachelor at the time, Andrew observed some friends who were new nursing mothers struggling with this very issue. What’s even more interesting is that mothers who breastfeed simultaneously have a higher level of the hormone that is beneficial to milk production. Isn’t that amazing?
