As I prepare for Baby 2.0’s arrival in just four months, there’s certain gear I want to have out and going with me to the hospital. A nursing pillow is top of the list!
Last time, I had nurses trying to stuff several huge pillows everywhere under my arms, the baby…. it was stressful to try to manage all these pillows and a new baby, and being new to breastfeeding! Now I know I want a good nursing pillow with me when I begin!
I’m excited to be using the popular My Brest Friend Original nursing pillow – the first pillow designed especially for breastfeeding! My Brest Friend was developed in a laboratory of new moms, babies, and breastfeeding experts! Although I’m not currently nursing, I’ve tried this on, and it’s quite comfortable!
Here’s features I love:
- Wrap around design helps you maintain position of the pillow – no more loose pillows popping out from under you, or shifting around!
- Back rest gives you good posture – I know I struggled with this early on
- Silent-release strap unlatches without waking baby – muy importanté!
- Arm and elbow rests eliminate shoulder stress – this is key: I didn’t realize how much strain I was putting on my back, neck, and shoulders trying to hold the right position without any support!
- Pocket for water bottles, burp cloth, phone, and other items – so handy, no more fishing around for things you need while baby is comfortably latched!
Plus, My Brest Friend comes in an assortment of fun prints and colors to personalize motherhood! My Brest Friend also offers a variety of maternity/body pillows, nursing stools, and other accessories for new and expectant moms! All their products are created with safety and function in mind!
Do you breastfeed with a nursing pillow or without?
BUY IT: The My Brest Friend Original nursing pillow is available online or at many baby, maternity, and department stores nationwide!

I used a Boppy for a little while with my first, but not at all with my second. This one looks like it would be a lot more helpful!

I did use a Boppy for those long, exhausted night nursings...no way I could stay awake and alert to hold baby on my own! Ha!
I got a minky cover with her name on it...sigh...she was so teeny tiny then... ;)
