Nursing pillow

Why do I need a nursing pillow?

A nursing pillow is a piece of equipment for you and your baby, which aims to make breastfeeding easier for you. The nursing pillow will keep your baby close to the breast so that both you and your baby can better concentrate and focus on breastfeeding. A good nursing pillow helps you get a good nursing position. This way you protect your back, neck and shoulders. You will spend many hours breastfeeding and a nursing pillow can help you have a better breastfeeding experience.

A nursing pillow is simply genius when you have to breastfeed your baby, or give your baby a bottle. The baby will lie comfortably on the nursing pillow, and will therefore take longer to become unsatisfied, while receiving the necessary support for your back when feeding your baby. In addition, the nursing pillow has several functions, you can use it to lie better during your pregnancy, you can use it when you are breastfeeding and you can use it when you need to exercise the baby's neck. The nursing pillow can therefore accompany you for a long time, and you will definitely benefit from it.

How to choose the best nursing pillow

When choosing a nursing pillow, it is important that you choose a pillow that gives you optimal support. It is important that the filling in your nursing pillow is firm and that there is plenty of it inside the nursing pillow. Then you are sure that the filling does not disappear under your baby, and therefore you do not get the best out of the nursing pillow. At the same time, the filling should also be malleable, so you can move it around a bit, so that it fits you and your baby as well as possible.

It is also important to remember that there must be room for your belly after giving birth, as the nursing pillow must be very close to you, so that you and your baby sit as well as possible. Nursing pillows come in different shapes, but most are shaped like a bathing suit or a boomerang.

Nursing pillows, which are shaped like a bathing ring, will provide support all the way around while allowing you to easily move your baby around a bit. The advantage of a nursing pillow that is shaped like a boomerang is that they are light and do not take up much space.

When should I buy a nursing pillow?

You can advantageously buy your nursing pillow, already during your pregnancy. If you buy your nursing pillow already during pregnancy, you will be guaranteed to benefit from it for a longer period. Many pregnant women use the nursing pillow at night to lie down better and more comfortably.

You can also easily wait to buy your nursing pillow until you are close to giving birth or when you have given birth. It is entirely up to you when the need for the nursing pillow is. You often find out how much you like the nursing pillow only when you have tried it.

How do I clean my nursing pillow?

You spend many hours with your nursing pillow, and you can't avoid it getting dirty when you breastfeed. Most nursing pillows come with a cover that can be both removed and washed. This is the most convenient when you need to breastfeed your baby or give your baby a bottle. You cannot avoid spilling milk, your baby throwing up or having an accident while using the nursing pillow.

Most covers can be washed in a washing machine, however, it is different if the cover can be washed at 30 or 60 degrees. Look at the washing instructions before you buy your nursing pillow, so you are sure that the cover can be removed and washed. If you choose a nursing pillow that can be cleaned, you can also have your nursing pillow for many years.
