Hello mommies, hope you are feeding yourself and the babies well 😉 The comfort of feeding your baby are the most important part. I have tried many sorts. of pillows for feeding in my first delivery. But this time I used a feeding pillow – A particular design pillow for breastfeeding. Hats off to the Product Designer Thought for this. Here I am sharing details to you “The Feeding Pillow and its Advantages”
There are many feeding pillows in the market/online. Unless we use them practically, we can’t make out which one is the best for the baby and us during feeding. First, let us know the key points which we need to check while buying the pillow
- It should have a medium soft-hard cushion.
If it is hard – it will become heavy for us to carry it with the baby, as the baby grows.
If it is soft – it makes the baby pounce low and our body structure bends which may result in the low back pain in moms.
- It should give good support for our back, which results in keeping our back straight
- The position of the baby on the pillow should be closer to our body which matters a lot to relax the baby when fed and we both feel comfortable.
A proper Feeding pillow will result in happy feeding time to both of us, baby tends to drink milk faster and goes to sleep or finishes drinking milk with a happy smile at the end. (relaxed)
The feeding pillow which I have is the one that has the curve shape and covers around our body. This supports both the baby and our back. I have the one which my sister bought from Mee Mee. It has a small pouch in the front to keep a napkin – wipe the baby’s mouth after feeding. It is even more comfortable with this pillow when we sit back straight against a wall while feeding. It has a wide variety range of cartoon prints on the fabric. The top cover is removable and washable cotton cloth.
It looks like the below image
At present, there is a new design that covers our breast while feeding. There are many more in the market. Click here to see/buy from Amazon
