The time we live in is amazing. So many interesting and necessary things are sold in stores. Sometimes you don’t know what this or that thing is intended for. My daughter, before the birth of her child, had already managed to prepare the room and fill the bag for the new mother.

The usual bottles for us, diapers, diapers, oils, creams, etc. Only a pillow for feeding children was not bought. In principle, it is not particularly needed. Is it worth spending 40-50 dollars on such a trifle? There are so many decorative rollers in the house! I myself gave birth to twins and used two pillows when breastfeeding them. But these were all my thoughts. My daughter thought that a pillow for feeding children is a must, as she had read reviews about it.

Let's go to the children's goods store. In the department for newborns, they finally found pillows (shops for children are huge and it’s not always easy to find what you need right away). In the section where they were, there was such a large selection that we were confused. What only options were not! Different colors, sizes, styles. And we were stuck here for two hours. We measured so many, selected colors, considered the quality of tailoring, whether there is a cover, whether there are good Velcro, what it is filled with. Of course, we chose a good pillow, comfortable, with a pleasantcoloring - for the boy. And when the baby was born, and she worked at full strength, we realized how convenient this little thing is for feeding a baby.

But even before the birth of the baby, the expectant mother herself basked on this pillow. I must say that my daughter was very comfortable on it. Since the pillow turned out to be multifunctional, it was suitable for both a pregnant woman and for feeding a baby. It supports the mother's stomach during sleep, creating comfort and coziness. True, there are also separate pillows for pregnant women, but we bought one big one - for the baby, and mom adapted it for herself.

The baby feeding pillow helps make this process easier. The woman's back is straightened, she sits without straining, the muscles of the hands and the spine do not get tired. At this time, you can even drink tea, turn on the TV, talk on Skype, read and even work on the computer, because your hands are free. You just need to properly lay the baby on the pillow, raise his head to the desired height, attach to the chest.

You can put the baby at different angles so that he and mom are comfortable. Long feeding - 15-30 minutes - will not be so tiring. The child feels comfortable and secure on such a pillow, relaxes, falls asleep, and the feeding process can take up to 40 minutes. If we assume that he consumes his mother's milk every three hours a day, then for her this is, in fact, a big burden. Therefore, the baby feeding pillow is convenient for both mother and baby.

How to choose and buy a pillow forfeeding

1. Pay attention to what fabric it is made of. It must be cotton so that the child does not sweat and does not get allergies.

2. Read what filler is in the pillow. The best material is holofiber or polystyrene foam balls, as well as spelled scales. The synthetic winterizer is not desirable, as it shrinks and loses its shape.

3. Check if there is a removable pillowcase with a zipper. This is necessary due to the frequent need for washing.

4. Ask if there is a bag that the pillow folds into. When traveling, it is necessary - the pillow does not get dirty and will always be there.

5. Check the quality of the Velcro, if it doesn't hold well, don't buy it. You can buy a nursing pillow in stores for children, order it online. But before you do this, read the reviews of moms who have already used it. After all, she will help you until the child grows up. It will be comfortable for him to eat, and sit, and lie next to you, and sleep, and, leaning on the pillow with his arms, he will learn to raise his head.
