Feeding pillows? Necessary or waste of money?

I really like mine. Once you’ve got baby in good position with good latch you can then place pillow so it’s taking most of the weight so you can offload shoulders and wrists.

I was given the bbhugme by a friend.

Worth looking for secondhand ones I reckon

Useful for me as I had a caesarian and a 10lb baby so it really helped me to take some of his weight off me

I loved mine But i only used it for the first 2 months or so until i got more comfortable

I have a £10 from Asda and couldn’t go without, even use it for tummy time/sit baby up

I couldn't be without mine

Necessary i’d say saved my muscles and wrists from holding the weight of the baby

Yeah I absolutely love mine, I have the bbhugme nursing pillow, means I can be hands free and not strain my shoulders!

I love mine and still use it to this day, 8 months on

Yeah I love mine, really helped in the early days when she was so small and we use it now at 6 months to help her sit up

Useful when newborn

I've never used mine. I used pillows occasionally while a newborn but once they're a few months old I found I just use my leg, like out my leg on a chair or just bend my legs when I'm in bed for support. Once they're big enough they go on an angle anyway. Totally depends on the person though, but mine was a waste of money and I could never get her in a good position with it, always pushed her head too close so we couldn't get a good latch as you want babies head angles away from the boob ideally x

I love my feeding follow. It provided a barrier between me and baby to help protect my c section, especially when I was black a blue from the bruising as I had an emergency c section. It also helped me get baby in the right position for breast feeding and it's a handy arm rest now with a bottle. I also use it for contact naps. As I can cuddle her till she's asleep and then gently lower her head down after my arms gone dead, she stays asleep and my arms aren't killing me as she naps for 2 hours

I never used mine. I used a small throw pillow under my elbow of the side baby was feeding on, but felt too cramped and crowded if I used the feeding pillow to support babies whole body.

I loved mine! It doubled as a cosleepeer. I'd leave my son in it to nap.

I first used the mom cozy pillow and didn’t find it fit around me correctly, I then bought the “Brest friend” pillow on Amazon and love it. I also use it to walk around the kitchen while holding baby and it provides some back support and allows me to walk around with baby longer.

Yes I have even 3, the regular boopy? My brestfriend and the travel one for a trip we did

Definitely necessary. My boppy is the most used item from my registry.

I think that in the beginning breastfeeding is a very important moment, you follow a schedule and everything is perfect, but then around 6mo they are a bit heavier and you are tried to feed in the room by yourself, so sometimes just sitting in the kitchen with my husband and I want to feed her, I never go back in the room to go get the pillow, I had two and gave one away for a friend, in my opinion you only really need it in the beginning

It was soooo helpful for me. Especially when I was tired and my back was sore. Just got the snuggle me organic nursing pillow for baby #3 and it's getting me so excited for this baby 🤗
