Nursing Pillow

My wife had a hard time with direct breastfeeding innitially because the baby was not latching on properly. In order to ease her pain and help her have a better nursing experience, I searched around online to find different gadgets for breastfeeding mothers. (Nice husband right? heee...)

Nursing Pillows
My wife and I searched around for different nursing pillows.
Some looks really cute but they are not that user friendly.

*Pointers from my wife on choosing the nursing pillow* 

- When you are breastfeeding, make sure the nursing pillow/cushion you use is firm enough the support the baby. Otherwise he/she will not feel secure and over time, it is bad for the baby's bone and muscle growth.

-The pillow should not only support the baby, but also support your back and help you sit in a good posture. Imagine that you have to sit uncomfortably for 8 times x 30-40min.
That's more than 4 hours of back torturing.

- Don't feel shy about trying on the nursing pillow before buying. It's not a cheap item and you won't want to waste money replacing it because you realise that it is not helping you.

- Colour of the nursing pillow may affect the feeding. (that's how I feel) I will prefer choosing lighter and softer colour so that the baby will not be overly sitmulated during feeds.

So which brand did I buy for my wife?

The Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow

The Brest Friend pillow has a very firm base support for the baby. There are also 2 humps to support the baby's head. What I like about the pillow is the back support and the adjustable buckle. The buckle is pretty silent when being released so you don't have to worry about scaring your little gem when he has dozed off after the feed. 

As if I am the one breastfeeding right? whahahaha...it's because I use it to bottle feed the baby. It is very useful for bottle feeding as well because I don't have to slouch. Best of all, it contains a pocket for us to place the milk bottle and washcloth. Should the baby spit out on the pillow, you can remove the cover to wash.

The only thing that I dislike about this pillow is the buckling tightness. I am considered thin for a guy but I believe there are many ladies even thinner than me. Due to the shape of the pillow, I can't fully tighten the buckle. So it can be quite loose for me.  

You can take a look at this video demostration. :)

Do let me know if you like it after using it. :))
