The nursing pillow: benefits and tips for choosing and using it

Long before the baby is born, the nursing pillow is already your best ally! Explanations.

  • During your pregnancy, this 67-inches-long pillow is the naps and night sleep companion, by serving as support for your belly.
  • During breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, it will allow you to support the baby while relieving your arms and lumbar spine.
  • For a high-quality nursing pillow, avoid foam filling and use polystyrene or spelt microbeads instead.
  • It must be soft to allow the baby to be positioned in a comfortable cocoon.
  • After birth, the soft nursing pillow can be folded in half to create a fluffy bouncer for the baby's sweet dreams.
  • Don't hesitate to ask the midwives for advice during childbirth preparation classes.

Can a regular body pillow do the same thing a pregnancy pillow can do? I can not find one anywhere and can’t afford to order a pregnancy pillow online right now but I have a regular body pillow

I'm sure it'll help! Sling a leg over that thing! Lol or put a pillow between your legs! It helps!

Yeah sling your leg over it and then pull the pillow up above your belly so it doesn't press on it

Just curious is it unsafe for baby to nap on boppy(nursing pillow). This seems like the only way she gets sleep unless I'm holding her. She doesn't like the bassinet at all

Everyone has different opinions I let my baby for the first few months sleep in her boppy pillow so that I could get some stuff done because she would only sleep if I was holding her as well

I made a fb invite and listed things I had and things I needed. I asked for 6-12 months clothes, books, diapers etc if I had the bigger ticket items. We are also putting a car seat in each vehicle so I asked for an extra car seat.

I ordered mine on Amazon. Idk the name of it but it was $32 and it's amazing. I have scoliosis, degenerative disc disease and sway back and I wake up with no back pain! I'll see if I can copy the link into here.

Hey Mommas!! Any other suggestions besides using a pregnancy pillow and a warm blanket at night for back pain? I’m constantly switching sides bc of the uncomfortableness & pain😩 Doesn’t seem like the pregnancy pillow helps.
