8 Best Nursing Pillows, According to PEDs and Parents

Breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience. But while it's billed as natural, it can feel like anything but at first - especially after birthing an entire human. Enter, a good nursing pillow. "Nursing pillows can help provide support during breastfeeding," says Erron Towns, MD, a pediatrician with Salisbury Pediatric Associates in Salisbury, NC. "This can help the mother avoid arm and torso fatigue while making it easier to achieve the proper positioning. This can alleviate some stress during what is generally a pretty stressful - but wonderful - time for a new mother." To be clear, a nursing pillow isn't a must-have. Inherently, the only must-haves are a lactating parent and child, especially when in the trenches of clusterfeeding and trying to find the best breast pump. "Many breastfeeding moms do so successfully without [a nursing pillow], but they are sure are nice to have," says pediatrician, Kristen W. Cook, MD. "By the way, nursing pillow use does not need to be limited to moms who breastfeed. They can be helpful for parents who are bottle feeding their babies as well." Dr. Cook adds that a parent may also use them to help a baby build strength during tummy time, but she shares that following some safety guidance is essential. "I advise the families in my medical practice to place their 3-to-4-month-old babies on a nursing pillow in a prone position with their arms underneath them for support," Dr. Cook says. "I suggest they add developmentally appropriate toys, or even better, a mirror, in front of the pillow to encourage head lifting." Other safety considerations: "I definitely recommend using a nursing pillow only as directed," Dr. Towns says. "Also, a mother should not fall asleep while nursing in an upright position with or without a pillow." Nursing parents also had some advice on what to look for. * Try more than one. Though you may pick one for a registry, one mother suggests choosing a few. "While one might work great for your best friend, your needs and your baby's needs can be quite different," says Siobhan Alvarez-Borland, a postpartum doula and lifestyle expert who nursed three children. "Some babies also need to be fed with different breastfeeding positions, and not all pillows will work." * Your body matters. It's best to ensure a nursing pillow fits your body (like clothes). "A good nursing pillow should hug your waist with minimal movement while in use," says Karissa Whitman, the founder of Mom After Baby, who nursed and pumped for two children. * Consider thickness and shape. Thickness and shape are also items Whitman suggests evaluating. "Some nursing pillows offer a thick padding while others can go flat after a few uses, making it hard to position baby over time," she says To help parents decide, we asked parents and pediatricians for recommendations and assessed online reviews to figure out which nursing pillows are the best. Here are nine great nursing pillows. https://www.popsugar.com/family/best-nursing-pillows-49314903?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Motherhood is a lot of things and it is certainly a lot about dealing with changing sleep cycles, feeding patterns, and providing love and care to a tiny human! Actor and new mommy to a babygirl, @evelyn_sharma posted this photo of her breastfeeding with the caption, “When you thought you finally established a routine and then she starts #clusterfeeding!! 🤦🏻‍♀️😩😅👼🏻💪” It’s amazing to see her documenting what motherhood looks like from her perspective! https://www.instagram.com/p/CY9hFzcPrHn9kuRw8hn3hNCdgQskaJuZXwwiPg0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Them: “Your child is using your boob as a pacifier!” Me: “Well actually the boob came before the pacifier so it seems perhaps the pacifier is being used as a boob.” ⚠️ Not a judgement on pacifier use… just a different way to look at that old saying “they’re using your boob as a pacifier.” J.

So ein richtiger Winter wäre jetzt wirklich noch was feines #teamwinter ☃️❄ Richtig kalt war es ja heute früh schon. Bei uns ist jetzt am Abend wieder #clusterfeeding angesagt. Abends reicht meine Milch nicht aus, wobei ich schon froh bin überhaupt stillen zu können. Seit vorgestern sogar ohne blödes Stillhütchen😳. Ich war übrigens ein Flaschenkind, da es damals noch keine Stillunterstützung gab. 👶🏻🍼Wie sieht euer Abendprogramm aus?😘 #winterwonderland #winter #winterishere #winterlove #trees #wintertrees #schnee #snow #snowlove #snowlandscape #landscape #breastfeeding https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs87xqOgCJB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h8xd5exccjfg

I was going to post this and say this was the only way he will stay asleep... but he woke up, again. And keeps going in and out of sleep. He's slept maybe 30 min intervals, MAYBE 3 times today and just fusses. I'm losing my sanity. Cluster feeding and sleep regression.. phew.. I am being tested. #odyn #babylove #mommy&me #sleepregression #clusterfeeding #breastfeeding #losingmymind #2under2 #momlife #parenting #sendsleepdust
