Nursing pillows, also known as feeding pillows or breastfeeding pillows, are essential for breastfeeding. They’re designed to make breastfeeding more comfortable and convenient, and are ideal for those who want to relieve neck and back pain from holding their arms elevated for extended periods.
A nursing pillow is designed for this purpose: it’s an inflatable or foam cushion that comfortably cradles your baby while you feed. While a regular pillow is necessary to support the weight of you and your baby, a good nursing pillow can make the process much easier.
What is the best nursing pillow?
There are many nursing pillows available on the market. However, to find the best one for you, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the different types of pillows available.
U-Shaped Nursing Pillow. This pillow is one of the most popular on the market. Its U-shape is designed to provide comfortable support while breastfeeding.
Boppy Nursing Pillow. The original Boppy nursing pillow is designed to help your baby latch better on and provides ergonomic support and back relief during breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and bonding. Its C-shaped design allows for multiple feeding styles: cradle, cross-cradle, football cradle, and bottle-feeding. It is filled with fiber and comes with a removable cover for easy cleaning. Both the pillow and cover are machine washable. Its beltless design makes it easy to put on with one hand, and the seamless Miracle center panel provides a more comfortable fit even after a C-section or postpartum abdominal pain.
Twin Z Pillow. The Twin Z Pillow is ideal for expectant and new mothers. It provides support for both baby and mother. Its “Z” shape makes it easy to breastfeed twins simultaneously. It gives both mother and baby their own space, preventing them from feeling cramped.
What are the benefits of a nursing pillow?
While a quick Google search for new or expectant parents will reveal that any pillow can be used as a nursing pillow, there is a significant difference between a regular pillow and a nursing pillow.
Nursing pillows are specifically designed to help align the baby’s body with the mother’s breast during breastfeeding. This is often the most comfortable nursing position for both newborns and mothers, as it also helps reduce stiffness in the mother’s back, arms, and neck.
Nursing pillows are denser than regular pillows and support the baby’s entire body. Many nursing pillows, like the Kapai, come with washable covers, making them easier to clean than regular pillows, which should be stored on the couch or in the guest room.
