Nursing pillows
Nursing pillows are super handy when it comes to breastfeeding. Today, nursing pillows come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Nursing pillows are also widely used during pregnancy, especially for sleeping. The support they provide to a pregnant body is really comforting and valuable. A nursing pillow is designed so that you, as a mother, don’t suffer from arm, back or neck pain while feeding your baby. The nursing pillow helps to raise your baby, while you can sit upright without bending or lifting the baby.
What are the best-selling nursing pillows?
How do I choose the right nursing pillow?
It’s clear there are maternity pillows in all sizes, shapes and materials. But how do you know which nursing pillow suits you? What works well for one mother may not work for another. From the well-known C-shape pillows to full body nursing pillows, what’s ideal for you?
The shape - Each nursing pillow shape applies pressure differently. Each shape supports your body in another way. Think about what fits your body well and what you find comfortable. If you suffer from pelvic or joint pain, you can try a full body nursing pillow. If you feed in a rugby hold because you have large breasts, a large U-shaped or firm C-shaped nursing pillow may work. It really depends on your personal preference and your body :)
Material & ease of use - Whether you want a certain cotton or a love of teddy fabric, it’s all possible now. Decide what feels best for you. Or do you prefer air-filled, so you can adjust how firm or soft your nursing pillow is?
(Washable) cover - Since a nursing pillow is often used and during pregnancy and especially the postpartum period many things happen - from breastfeeding poo to leaking breasts and sweat - it’s nice to choose a nursing pillow with a washable cover. In other words, a cover you can remove from the nursing pillow.
Practical aspect - Practically speaking a nursing pillow is not very practical in your home. It’s a HUGE thing that’s always somewhere. The advantage is you won’t lose it and don’t have to think about it ;) But as your little one grows, it’s handy if you can store it. And of course take it with you on trips. Then an inflatable nursing pillow is a real solution! It’s a fairly new concept but a very nice innovative development!
Are there inflatable nursing pillows?
Inflatable nursing pillows? Not the first thing you think of and when you search for it, you don’t find many nice nursing pillows. It looks more like a neck pillow for on the plane. You can see this principle is new and still gaining ground, but everything in its time. The advantage of inflatable nursing pillows is that you can adjust the firmness or softness yourself. In other words, it’s easy to adapt to your personal preferences. Well, we discovered a beautiful new French brand - Mumade. They designed three types of nursing pillows with a lactation consultant and a midwife, and they are wonderful!
Mumade Nursing Pillow - Terracotta
Mumade Nursing Pillow - Celadon
How do I use a nursing pillow?
How do you actually use a nursing pillow? Because there are many sizes and types, what’s practical? When breastfeeding, place the pillow on your forearm, as close as possible. The aim is to bring the baby as close to your nipple as possible.
Can I also use a nursing pillow as a baby nest?
