The 5 best nursing pillows of 2024
Getting a comfortable position to sleep in during pregnancy or to breastfeed can be a challenge. In this mission, a nursing pillow can be your best friend.
When you start breastfeeding, having a pillow to help position the baby can be a godsend to avoid neck and shoulder pain. Nursing pillows are not the same as the traditional pillows we use on our couches and beds. With different shapes and sizes, nursing pillows are designed to provide support to the new mother. Depending on the needs, they can be used as a support to bottle-feed the baby, rest your arms during breastfeeding, and later use as a support for the baby to sit. Depending on the model you choose, some pillows are also designed to provide support to your belly during pregnancy sleep.
How to choose the best nursing pillow?
Some aspects should be considered when choosing the pillow. The main ones are: the shape, the ease of cleaning and the firmness of the filling. The shape depends on the need of the mother and on how it will be used. If you are buying a pillow after the baby's birth, you may not need a pillow as long, for example. The firmness ends up being more subjective, because some people prefer softer pillows, others prefer harder ones, so it depends on personal preference. As for cleaning, all the pillows here chosen have covers that can be removed and sanitized in the washing machine. Some parents prefer to buy extra covers, because during breastfeeding it may get dirty with milk and it may be necessary to change it.
Many mothers need to try several pillows before finding the ideal one, we hope our post will facilitate your search.
