My Brest Friend Original Nursing Pillow Enhanced Ergonomics Essential Breastfeeding Pillow Support For Mom & Baby W/Convenient Side Pocket, Double Straps & Slipcover, Grey Flowing Fans

Having this particular breast feeding pillow recommended by three mums, I thought I'd take a look. At first, I was skeptical about buying a breastfeeding pillow, as i thought it was just a gimmick. More money for the manufacturers on over-priced products! And what's wrong with using a regular normal pillow to plop my LO on while BFing? How wrong was I!! For women who suffer from back pain and still want to breastfeed their LO, this product is excellent. It provides support in the right places. I can totally feel the difference when using this pillow compared to when I'm not using it (or using a regular pillow). It has a strap with a buckle so you can secure it. Leaves your hands free. It's the perfect height for a baby to be while being breast-fed. I'm dreading when my LO one grows out of it, as I've gotten so used to it. May I add, the price on amazon is almost 10 gbp cheaper than morhercare! with free delivery being offered, you can't go wrong! It's a great gift item too (instead of giving yet one more item for the baby's wardrobe, just like what most people would give), especially if you know the mum-to-be is planning to breast feed her baby! Hope this helps!

This feeding pillow has helped me so much. I've tried various cushions and another nursing pillow and nothing worked. I was getting arm ache, shoulder ache and back pain. This has made life so much easier. The adjustable strap means that you can find the perfect hight to rest your arm or can free my arms if I want to. For me, this is well worth the money.

I really struggled with breast feeding in the first few weeks - cracked bleeding nipples and a lot of crying in dark rooms! And although the cushion couldn't solve all my breastfeeding problems it did make my efforts so much easier. It helped with my positioning and took the pressure off my back and arms, which could get quite painful particularly when it seemed I was constantly feeding in the early days. It also freed up a hand which meant I could text, email, snack or change the TV channel - which at the time was a luxury! Once my son got a few months old (about 3 months) I didn't need it but it got me through my dark days. Breastfeeding sucks (quite literally) but it does get easier and this cushion does help.

My wife was suffering back and neck pain when breast feeding, no amount of propping with normal pillows could get her or my daughter comfortable. This item is a work of genius, has totally eliminated any pain or strain, now my better half is smiling again and enjoying the bond that breastfeeding is building. The only improvement would be a cup holder!!!

The three things that I like about this the most:1) It stays in place because of the fastener, and it is very easy to get on and off, as well as adjusting it.2) The pocket that is attached is great for holding things you might need...I use it for extra nursing pads, my lanolin, baby nail clippers, etc.3) My baby could latch on much easier using this nursing pillow than any other way.

Worked ok, but not impressed with the quality and value for money. We took the cover off to wash it which exposed the foam underneath. My partner was sitting on the pillow and I when went to pick it up and it ripped right in half. I don't think a £50 pillow should do that. This pillow is just a bit of foam with a cover.

Excelente

I asked the nurses in the hospital of I should go with this or Boppy. I was advised that this one is better for newborns so they don't slide down and is more secure. (I did end up getting one of each).If you can only choose one- I'd definitely get the my brestfriend. For a couple of weeks my newborn would only nurse if I walked around, I was recovering from a c-section so this pillow helped there because it once strapped tightly it could help bear a little weight so it wasn't all on me (I did make sure to still hold my baby myself so I wouldn't trust that it could bear all weight). I don't know if the raised spots on this one is standard but on either end there is a raised circle like where the baby's head would rest and when I was having to multi-task like eating while nursing, those spots seemed to help support my baby's head in a way to make it more level while nursing so I didn't have to use my hand.The pocket on the side was nice for his pacifier, nipple cream, and other misc items I may need on a whim while nursing. Many people said they didn't understand the pocket's purpose, but that's what I used it for and found it was handy.My baby is now 2 months old and I still use this nightly during the nighttime feeds. It helps me feel more secure when nursing while groggy. As you can see in the photo- my husband also found it helpful when he wanted to game while giving me a break. Haha Very easy to use! Cover is easy to remove and wash! I'm really lazy and literally don't hang dry anything like everyone advises- it did not shrink in the dryer- the clip did make a bit of a ruckus.Get a waterproof cover to go on the pillow directly as it is not waterproof. May sound silly but I didn't not realize this until once it was covered in pee, spit up and milk (we were having a rough day) lolI did love this Lily of the valley pattern, and it was also the lowest cost!

Love this cover, my last one ripped at the clip, and this replacement is a good quality fix <3

It fits my nursing pillow perfectly and I love how it is water resistant. It is made from good fabric and it has already been used and washed several times keeping in great shape.

I love this nursing pillow! It is so comfortable and supportive for both me and my baby. It wraps around my waist and stays in place with the adjustable straps. It has a handy side pocket where I can keep my phone, water bottle, or nursing pads. The cover is removable and washable, and the fabric is soft and breathable. The pillow is firm and flat, which helps my baby stay awake and latch well. It also helps me maintain a good posture and avoid back and neck pain. I have tried other nursing pillows, but this one is by far the best. It is a must-have for any breastfeeding mom. I highly recommend it!
