PHP Gift and Baby Widgey Nursing Pillow with Stars (White/ Grey)

Wish I had it sooner! Save yourself the hassle of trying a ton of different feeding pillows! This one is simply the best, so comfortable yet sturdy enough for babies weight. 3 months of use and counting. Wish it came with a spare case as baby spits up often, but at least the case is washable. Now that my little one is older, I also use it to help her sit up! We used it on a long train journey also, where she fed then slept on this, was truly life saving!

This pillow has been brilliant for helping my bad back whilst breastfeeding my baby. I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. I've really struggled with my back and it's down to a hard and long labour, lifting, feeding and bad posture. Just to be able to sit up straight in a chair and have this around me and my baby resting on it with his head on my arm is fantastic. I'm a very small build and have a small chest too so I usually have to support him a lot with my arms and can never relax my shoulders. This pillow helps a great deal. I would say it could almost do with being a tad bigger so it goes around my waist a bit better but as long as you're sitting straight it does he job just fine! The only time I don't use it is out and about because I don't really want to be carrying it around with me as its bulky and I think I would be less discrete feeding him in public with a great big pillow around me. It's hard a enough trying to deal with ignorant people whilst breast feeding as it is and this would probably make that more difficult. However it's great at home and I'm happy with that!Oh, it's also very soft and firm but spongy too which is lovely! My baby sits in it as he's learning to support himself.

I specifically bought this as a sitting aid for my little one (from 5 months). It is nice and firm (unlike other cushions on the market ending in "oppy") and perfect for the purpose I wanted it for. I have also used it as a support during feeding as my arms are getting tired now that little one is so much bigger, and as a bottle rest while I'm expressing. My only complaint is that it has a really strong smell, very plasticky, which is taking a long time to dissipate. It seems to be whatever the cushion is filled with that gives off the smell.

On the whole it did the job of helping out my tired arms/ back with feeding my baby, but I found that you had to be in a specific seat/ sofa for it to work perfectly. I had to always prop up the side I was feeding with another pillow below the nursing pillow, which I felt slightly defeated the point. I shall be researching another option for baby #2.

This is a great feeding pillow. Bought for my second baby but wish I'd had it for my first. I found it easier to use in a "c" shape so my back was supported and then baby's head was raised up for feeding. It also comes in a thick plastic case which can be used for travel. I'd recommend having a spare cover too.
