Nursing pillows support babies while breastfeeding. They wrap around the mother's waist and support the baby's back and head, keeping the baby in a comfortable position while reducing arm strain. They are usually designed to be used in a sitting or reclining position. Most nursing pillows have curved sides and adjustable widths and angles.
Boppy pillows are crescent-shaped with tapered ends. They are wrapped around the mother's waist with the baby resting on the wide section. They are the simplest type of nursing pillow and may also double as baby toys. They have a fixed width and may not fit all waist sizes, although some brands come with adjustable latches.
Natural nursing pillows
Natural nursing pillows have wider openings and and a more rectangular shape. They are designed to sit flat on the mother's lap, allowing a more comfortable position. They are available with plain or printed covers.
Nurse R nursing pillows
Nurse R nursing pillows have adjustable straps that go around the back and secure the pillow in place. The strap is sometimes padded to provide support to the back to prevent back strain. They can also be set at various angles for more comfortable feeding.
Comfort: Choose a soft but firm nursing pillow for maximum support and comfort. Make sure it will not sag or ride down with your baby's weight. Look for one with a raised side to support your baby's head, and a thick, padded strap to cushion your back.
Fit: Choose a nursing pillow that fits comfortably around your waist. Look for one with adjusting straps to help you set the best fit. Avoid open backs if you breastfeed from an upright sitting position because they can slide down when your baby moves or stirs.
