Whether you breastfeed or bottle feed your baby, meal time is an important bonding experience for parents and their babies. A nursing pillow is a great option to ensure this time is comfortable for both you and your baby. These help to ensure baby is in the right position for your comfort and theirs, help to minimize poor posture and help to prevent your arm from going numb. The goal of a breastfeeding pillow is to provide you and your baby with stable support and comfort while nursing. However, nursing pillows aren’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to providing support—the best fit will depend on the needs of you and your baby. 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. Have no straps for securing infants, which can lead to a false sense that babies are safe to be left alone on the pillow;

The pillow is made from cotton and has unisex patterns that are suitable for both boys and girls, and are very cute, too.

If you have problems with clogged milk ducts, you can use the following method where you lean over the baby to let gravity work its magic and help with your clogged milk ducts. What I love is that it’s light enough to be carried around from room to room but sturdy enough to support the baby. If you plan to breastfeed, a nursing pillow can help you find a comfortable position to feed your baby. These pillows provide the necessary arm and body support during feeding sessions—and they sometimes even double as a tummy time pillow. They come in a variety of styles, patterns, and colors, so we put 16 of them through multiple tests at home with breastfeeding parents to help you find the best nursing pillow for your needs. 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.

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. However, with some help from the My Brest Friend Twin & Plus Size breastfeeding pillow, it’s much easier to manage. Other than extra comfort and support, this pillow is plus size friendly which is very convenient considering that two babies usually mean more pregnancy weight gain, and twin moms that are still in the process of losing their baby weight know the struggle. This might not be as easy as it seems at first. That’s why a nursing pillow can be very helpful at this stage.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!

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.Of course, having twins also calls for taking some extra steps to make sure you and your babies are always comfortable, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. To ease them into this practice you can lay them over a feeding pillow, which will get them used to a new tummy position. This slipcover is easy to remove for cleaning thanks to a near wrap-around zipper. We followed the manufacturer’s instructions to wash the slipcover in warm water and didn’t notice a difference in quality, but we wish it were safe to toss in the dryer (it’s hang-dry only). We recommend purchasing an additional slipcover, so you don’t have to wait for the first one to dry. This was a hard choice, but ultimately the BOPPY ORIGINAL PILLOW is our winner for the best nursing pillow. While I love the support provided by the My Brest Friend for breastfeeding, I don't love it for bottle feeding and it's not as user friendly or multi-purpose as the Boppy. Here's more detial on why the Boppy wins out v. the My Brest Friend in my book.

Nook Niche Organic Nursing Pillow:We thought this nursing pillow was helpful and comfortable but the nursing baby sank into it more than we’d like, and the cover has to be washed alone. Plus, we didn’t feel that the splurge-level price was worth it. Depending on your baby’s age, you should put the baby face-down on the pillow for about 20 to 30 minutes a day. Some parents find that it’s the only way their babies will go to sleep, as the pillow makes them feel nestled and warm. They can be used as a burping pillow as well. It helps with acid reflux and spit-up after feedings.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. A pillow is great for tummy time, which is recommended once your baby’s umbilical cord falls off and plays an important role in their development. 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. After using and evaluating the support, quality, ease of cleaning, and value of nursing pillows over a month of at-home testing, we narrowed our list to nine winners that help make breastfeeding experiences easier. For example, with my first one I had a problem with her sinking into the pillow I was using, causing me to hunch over. For this reason, My Brest Friend pillow for twins is a dream come true for every twin mama. And you’ll be amazed at how much time you can save by feeding twins simultaneously!
