(More customer reviews)Lactation consultants told me that the best feeding pillow was My Breast Friend, but I wanted to be a "green" mom and avoid foam and choose as many organic products for my first baby as I could.This Nesting Pillow was the only one out there I could find, so I happily purchased it directly from the manufacturer.
I have to say, this pillow is soooo much more than just a feeding pillow.I bought this several months before my son was born, and little did I know then that he would have acid reflux and spit up almost constantly, and would also be a "high-needs" baby who wanted to fall asleep breastfeeding and they stay in that position in my arms practically aaaallll day.
Since the nesting pillow has a "Bean Bag" feel, my son's body alignment was relaxed while he slept in my arms, allowing me to relax my arms and back without stressing about his comfort.
Then, because of the bean bag effect, I could manipulate the shape of the pillow into a wedge/inclined pillow so that when I wanted to (try to) set him down to sleep, his acid reflux wouldn't come up and wake him.
I still needed to get him medication for the reflux, but not having to buy another wedge pillow saved money, plus those wedge pillows made of foam were rather stiff, whereas the Nesting Pillow has "give" and will conform more to your baby's body.
When my son outgrew his reflux, we set it aside for a while, and sometimes I'd use it as my own pillow on the sofa.
Then, when he was 5.5 months old and just starting to sit up, I shaped the Nesting Pillow into a "fortune cookie" shape around his lower back to help prop him up while he practiced sitting up. It was so awesome!
Now that he is 6.5 months old and can totally sit up, I found that he loves to just sit on top of it, because he still can get "wobbly" when sitting in his playard or our sofa, but when I sit him on top of the Nesting Pillow, he gets a super secure feel, almost like sitting in the sand on the beach.He went from having a concerned look on his face as he tried to balance while playing with some toys, to giving me a grin and happily focusing on his hands and toys when he was placed on the Nesting Pillow.
Just a warning: although the picture of the pillow shows it as a half-moon shape, in reality the pillow is more floppy than you'd expect, but that it exactly what makes the Nesting Pillow such genius!
When first using it to breastfeed, it took me a little bit of practice grabbing the floppy pillow with one hand and getting it under the baby real quick before he latched on, but that was the only slight challenge.
This is really a wonderful wonderful baby product!!!!It's pure genius!!!!
