Everything you need to know about nursing pillows
Pillow for pregnant and nursing moms
When the tummy begins to make it difficult for mom to fall asleep in a comfortable position, a large C pillow, which is as long as 180 cm, will be perfect. The cushion can be molded and adjusted to a given position, it can be perfectly adjusted to the shape of the belly, so you will gain support and comfort during sleep. Later, such a pregnancy pillow will serve you as a nursing pillow, or simply - for sleeping. It perfectly relieves the pressure on the spine, making sleeping with a big belly comfortable. You can also use it as a backrest when sitting.
And how to use it? It's nothing difficult, in fact, the use of the pillow is intuitive. You put your head on one end of the pillow and put it over your shoulder. We put the pillow through our legs, placing it between our knees, and support our back with the other end. The middle part provides excellent support for the abdomen and creates safe sleeping conditions even for women with advanced pregnancy. Such a position of a pregnant mother is certainly comfortable and natural, in addition to being very safe and reliable. Let's remember that during pregnancy it is best to sleep on the left side! We introduce you to the possibilities of using a pillow:
Feeding is a daily and often time-consuming activity. In our opinion, a nursing pillow should be in every layette. It positively affects the health of mother and baby and is a convenience during feeding.
The most important advantage of a nursing pillow is that it provides safety and comfort for the baby and mom. This is guaranteed by the right size and elasticity. A wide pillow allows the baby to lie down freely, especially a larger one, which slips from a pillow that is too narrow. It should be firm enough to give support to the whole body of the baby and keep it at the desired height, at the breast. The nursing pillow largely takes the sweet weight, thus relieving the mother's hands and spine - taking into account the aspect of frequency and length of feeding. Mom can comfortably lean back while feeding, while having a straight spine, it also relieves pressure on the entire shoulder. In addition, during the preparation for feeding (searching for the right position or unfastening the shoulder strap) we can freely lay the baby on the pillow and have free hands.
In our offer you will find two types of nursing pillows:
The construction of the horn pillow, specifically the horns, allow you to hold it on your hips. With such a pillow in place, it is easy to reach for the baby in the crib and sit up directly.
Type C pillow, on the other hand, is a pillow as long as 180cm and can be arranged and shaped at will.
Keeping in mind the health of the child, the materials from which the pillow is made are important. Only high-quality fabrics give us a guarantee of this safety.
The filling of the pillow should be soft enough not to compress the child, but at the same time stable enough to provide proper support. Siliconized ball is perfect for this role, it does not deform and is flexible enough to return to its previous form.
As our pillows have a removable cover, keeping them clean is trivial, just remove and wash.
A hidden zipper is sewn into the inner layer so that it does not pinch or irritate the skin.
How to use the breastfeeding pillow?
The breastfeeding pillow is designed to provide comfort to the baby and mother that an ordinary pillow will not guarantee. How to use the pillow, here are some tips:
- place the pillow around your waist - choose a horn-shaped pillow and wrap it around your waist so that the ends are on either side of your body.
- arrangethe baby on the pillow - place the baby on the pillow so that his head is at breast level. This will provide stable support for the baby's head and the baby's body.
- adjust the height of the pillow - make sure the pillow is at the right height so the baby can easily grasp the breast.
- provide a comfortable position - during feeding, the pillow should help maintain a comfortable position for both mom and baby.
At a later stage of the toddler's life, you can use the pillow as a support for the baby's pecker when it starts getting ready to sit up.
