My Brest Friend Super Deluxe Nursing Pillow – Extra Soft Breastfeeding Support Pillow with Plush Slipcover, Firm Flat Cushion, Wrap-Around Adjustable Fit & Back Panel – Aqua

This has legitimately changed feeding time for me. It takes so much tension and weight off my neck and back and arms. It makes feeding easy and comfortable. The thickness and comfort vs firmness is perfect and the fact that you can latch it together (you can make it fit to your size) so it doesn’t slip and slide around, keeping baby in place, is just another part of this breastfeeding pillow that shows how thought through the design was! Absolutely recommend this quality product.

As a breastfeeding mom, finding the right support for both myself and my baby is paramount. The My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow Deluxe has been a game-changer in providing enhanced comfort and support during our nursing sessions. Let's start with the positives. This pillow offers exceptional support for both mom and baby, making breastfeeding sessions more comfortable and enjoyable. The firm yet plush design helps maintain proper positioning, ensuring a good latch and reducing strain on my back and arms. Plus, the added slipcover enhances comfort and adds a touch of style to our nursing routine. One of the standout features of the My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow is its ability to provide relief for gassy babies. The elevated positioning helps alleviate discomfort associated with gas, allowing my baby to nurse more comfortably and peacefully. It's a lifesaver during those fussy moments when my little one needs extra support to ease their tummy troubles. However, it's important to note that this pillow has its limitations. While it excels in providing support for the typical cradle hold in the front, it doesn't allow for multiple breastfeeding positions. This lack of versatility may be a drawback for some moms who prefer to switch between positions for added comfort or to accommodate different nursing preferences. Despite this limitation, the My Braest Friend Nursing Pillow Deluxe remains a valuable tool in my breastfeeding journey. Its superior support and comfort outweigh the minor inconvenience of limited positioning options. It has become an essential part of our nursing routine, and I highly recommend it to any breastfeeding mom in search of a reliable and supportive nursing pillow.

I am currently breastfeeding my second child. I breastfed my first for a little over a year. I have researched a lot of nursing pillows since that was what I was going to be spending a lot of my time doing. For my first child I decided to go with the Gia Nursing Pillow because I read that the boppy pillows didn’t provide enough support and that babies sink in the pillow easily, causing you to hunch over, etc. I liked that it was designed by lactation consultants and there was a raised side, and of course because of the low price! Once I used it for a while, I didn’t like having to switch it every single time I switched sides, and I found that my baby sunk in the pillow just as much as she would on a boppy pillow. I also didn’t use a cover for it since it was machine washable, and my wedding ring was constantly snagging the stitching all over the pillow. So now, it is being used to prop my baby up, although it’s trickier than a boppy pillow since both sides aren’t the same. With my second child I wanted to invest more into breastfeeding supplies, since that is something very important to me, so why not make it easier on the mom? :) I researched pillows again when I was pregnant to see what other options were out there. I was interested in the Kushies pillow, since it was foam, the baby wouldn’t sink, and I wouldn’t have to switch sides every time. I was weary that it wasn’t machine washable, wasn’t waterproof, and honestly there wasn’t a cover that I loved. If it’s going to be sitting on my couch, and I’m going to be looking at it all the time, I wanted to love it! My husband suggested I get the Brest Friend pillow because of the back support. That was pretty much the deciding factor. I was weary again because the pillow itself wasn’t machine washable, and all the reviewers were saying it was a pain to wrap around you and buckle while your baby was waiting to eat. After using it for almost a month now, I am so glad I bought it! I took the advice of some reviewers and immediately used the plastic packaging as a “waterproof” layer under my soft cover before I even used it. This way I wouldn’t have to worry about a gross foam pillow underneath, since I plan to use this for a while! Placing the plastic packaging underneath does make it a little crinkly, but it’s very minimal compared to knowing your pillow will be protected and clean for your baby. I only really notice the “crinkle” as I’m buckling it around my stomach. My baby sits high (I do the cradle hold), doesn’t move, the material of the cover is really nice and soft, and the raised head supports are a nice touch! Now the only thing that would make this better would be if I had a nursing stool -- but crossing my legs does the trick. Buckling it while your baby is hungry is not that big of a deal--it only takes 5 seconds, and you’re ready to go. I’m thankful for the back support it provides! I haven’t used the pocket yet. I kind of wish it wasn’t there because I don’t use it, but I’m sure it’s helpful for those who use nipple cream, or want to keep something small in there. Looks wise, I don’t really care for it. But again, not that big of a deal when you look at the positives! I had a lot of trouble breastfeeding my first and sought help from a lactation consultant. She was highly against all nursing pillows, claiming none give you the best position your baby needs for the perfect latch. I can totally see where she is coming from. She used waterproof pillows that you use in the hospital after delivery, and would fold them in half, push and shove them until they gave me the best support. I did like using those, and they probably do give you better support and positioning than any “nursing pillow” out there, but I like that every time I buckle the Brest Friend pillow around my waist, I am going to have the same results without any “pushing or shoving”. Quick and easy--very important for me while I’m taking the pillow off and on, off and on, all day long! I hope this is helpful for all you moms out there! Breastfeeding is hard work, and even harder if you don’t have the right tools and support. Let me know if you have any questions…I would love to help!

Despite seeing multiple lactation consultants and trying to breast feed my son for weeks I was reaching the end of my sanity. I couldn’t get him positioned correctly, couldn’t get him to latch… I was twisting myself into weird positions to try to make it work and failing miserably. Both he and I were so frustrated I was ready to give up. The boppy didn’t work for me- it was too small around and bulky on my small torso and my larger chest made it so my son wasn’t at the right level. On top of that it wasn’t feasible for me to find and use 5 pillows every time he needed to eat in order to get him positioned perfectly and end up with me still being uncomfortable. My cousin told me about this pillow and I decided to try it before giving up completely in a fit of rage. Let me tell you, I could cry. The lumbar support helped my position immediately. The Velcro strap making it adjustable in size makes it a perfect, snug fit. It’s not so bulky and fits my shorter torso perfectly and works with a larger chest so much better for leveling my son to the right height. The small bumps on either side helped support my son’s head perfectly. Latching was so much easier once the positioning was there. We breastfed both sides for 45 minutes and for the first time he’s actually satisfied after eating. On top of the fact that it’s just designed fantastically, the fabric is comfortable and the pocket was a life saver not having to search for my phone to track feeding, keep track of the container for my nipple shield and have a bottle of water on hand and in easy reach. All of which would previously get lost under the mounds of pillows I needed before. Seriously. If the company needs a spokesperson, I’m your girl. Do yourself a favor. Buy the pillow. - One Tired and Incredibly Relieved and Emotional New Mom

Game Changer for breastfeeding. It supports the lower back and baby is so comfortable. Highly recommend to all moms - even to just give a bottle. Baby lays on her side and has lots of support.

The My Brest Friend nursing pillow in grey definitely has its niche, especially for those early weeks! What really stood out to me was the **fantastic lumbar support** it provides when you're sitting without any back support – think a stool or even just propped up in bed. It genuinely helps maintain good posture and takes the strain off your lower back, which is a huge win postpartum. However, its structured nature can be a bit of a double-edged sword. When I tried using it in a glider, I actually found it a bit **uncomfortable**, as it pushed me too far forward and didn't quite mesh with the glider's built-in support. Now that my baby is older than 3 weeks, I've actually found myself preferring my Boppy pillow for most feeds. While I truly appreciated having both options when she was first born – the My Brest Friend for its unique support in certain situations – I likely **wouldn't spend the money on this pillow unless it was on sale**. It's a specialized tool that can be incredibly helpful for specific scenarios, but for everyday use as baby grows, other options might take the lead.

I decided to get this for my second baby based on recommendations from friends and overall I have been really happy with it! Definitely superior to the Bobby in my opinion. The material is more like a foam which is nice because it better supports the baby to help with breastfeeding. It also is adjustable and can buckle around your body which is nice to help keep the pillow in place and helps with back support for mom. It has a little pocket attachment to the front where I guess you could keep chap stick or nipple cream but honestly I haven’t used it for anything. My favorite part is on the top of the pillow there are two bumps which have been great to help delicate baby’s head and support their neck while feeding so that you can be more hands off! As a large chested lady this is nice since I’m already trying to make sure I don’t suffocate the babe while feeding 😅. I wouldn’t say this is a need, I definitely still just grab a random pillow when need, but this has been nice to have and would go for it if you are interested!

We brought and kept it. The design is highly functional and comfortable
