My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow Deluxe Slipcover, Evening, Dark Grey

I just had my 3rd baby and have really enjoyed the My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow. I have always used other nursing pillows in the past, and although my current baby is 8 months old, I am wishing I had this pillow when she was a newborn for those evening cluster feeds! I prefer to use a pillow when nursing rather than just holding my baby since it allows my arms to stay free to help my other little kiddos if they need it. Unlike other nursing pillows, this one is really supportive for the baby and mama. My baby is held at a much better height to reach the breast to prevent me from having to crouch over or anything. I like the back support on it for me which again helps me keep a good posture. I absolutely love the material, it's so soft and easy to clean.

The pocket is really nice to hold your phone or a snack, so handy when you have a newborn! The buckle really helps to hold the pillow in place to keep the baby from slipping. I haven't had any issues with the velcro adjusting strap catching on anything. Although my baby is 8 months old, I am hoping to continue breastfeeding for some time like I have with my other babies and we will be getting so much use out of this breastfeeding pillow!

Excellent for long torsos

I started using this during my lactation appointments and ended up getting two, one for the nursery and one for downstairs. I like the super deluxe because I have a fairly long torso, and while the baby was still small, the Boppy wasn’t cutting it. I like the plastic covering because milk drips and baby spits up while lying there. It’s kept this pillow in much better shape than my regular deluxe pillow. I don’t find that it makes much noise when baby shifts; certainly not enough to be disruptive. The back can be a little off, but it doesn’t bother me in the least. The super deluxe is also much more solid than the deluxe or original version. My son really, REALLY, loves doing his baby squats on this thing when he’s done eating. Other times he will fall asleep while ... MoreI started using this during my lactation appointments and ended up getting two, one for the nursery and one for downstairs.

Other times he will fall asleep while nursing and he will sleep on it for half an hour. Overall I think it’s a fantastic nursing pillow and it’s especially great if you’re a FTM and new to breastfeeding. No joke, before I found this pillow I was ready to give up on breastfeeding altogether.

Favorite baby product

As a mother of 4 I have never used a nursing pillow. I didn’t even breast feed but this was still a lifesaver being as though my 4th child was a C-section delivery. This helped with holding baby easily above my C-section area. Also it has excellent back support. My baby is 6 months and I still use this for feedings when we’re home. Also super easy to wash.

Get it!

Super helpful for breastfeeding moms. Keeps baby in place and allows your arms to relax/not fully carry baby. I do wish that the pillow was thicker, as I need to put a pillow UNDER it on my lap to bring baby up to my breast height. Overall though totally worth it. I bought this online in the hospital so when I arrived home it came just 1 day later, which helped so much transitioning to life with a newborn.

Great breastfeeding pillow

Found this recommended on Reddit after my first breastfeeding pillow didn't really help me much. I was skeptical, but this thing is amazing. I ended up with thumb tendinitis from breastfeeding and this helps me not strain my hands any longer. I love that when my baby falls asleep, this helps me support her weight too for contact naps. I'm shocked this isn't recommended more.

Saved Breastfeeding

This pillow saved my breastfeeding journey. Latching was so much easier for us with this pillow. No more slouching over or baby sliding off bed pillows. So easy to feed baby (even in the car) and give my arms a rest while doing it. Baby falls asleep right on the pillow. There are so many functional design elements that make this pillow useful and comfortable - I especially like the slight bump to raise baby’s head and the backrest. The strap is held to the pillow cover by Velcro which is good for washing and adjusting but is loud so I have to remember to not tinker with it when my baby is sleeping. The other thing to remember is to be gentle with the foam because it damages easily. I ripped off a small chunk while taking off the cover for the first time but was ... MoreThis pillow saved my breastfeeding journey. Latching was so much easier for us with this pillow.

I love this so much I got the inflatable version for trips.

Supportive for baby, not for mom.

I wanted to love this pillow, but unfortunately it’s not built for inclusive sizes. I am a larger woman and since it is only adjustable from one side, the back support and sits at my side. It is definitely supportive for baby, but I would not recommend if you are anything over probably a size 8 or a 10, it won’t fit you properly. Also, it feels quite cheap for the price, does not feel like a luxury high quality item.

What a game changer

An absolute must have!! I lasted about 3 weeks after my little one was born before the pain from breastfeeding was unbearable! My back, shoulders and neck were in agony until I started using the my breast friend pillow.She is now 5months old and i still use it just as much, I love that I can clip it around my waist and have one hand free, it’s a game changer!wether Standing, sitting or moving about the house.This has been the most valuable baby item I’ve purchased.

too much of a hassle & rigid surface for baby

i was looking for an alternative to my U shaped pillow because i had to use extra pillows with it and when baby is crying bloody murder i want to spend as little time as possible getting ready. in that respect this wraparound nursing pillow is good - easy and quick to put on but even after using it for several sessions i just 1) did not like how bulky it was (takes up so much space) and 2) how baby fit on it (too rigid). definitely can't use it on a narrow nursing glider - it would be too high up. i used it while sitting on my living room couch but again it takes up so much real estate both when in use and when not. The clip and velcro are both loud. If baby spits up good luck washing it - the cover is Washable but not the pillow itself because it's foam-like.

Also, I think the instructions said it's perfect for a baby not to fall asleep on but i DID want baby to fall asleep at the breast after eating! i guess it works for some people but not for me. i went back to my U shaped nursing pillow.
