The key to peaceful and full twin babies is giving them the same amount of attention at the same time – which is exactly what this My Brest Friend twin pillow was made for. What I also love about this pillow is that it can fit into a regular chair, an armchair, but it works just as well when you’re sitting up in bed, so you can use it anywhere. A soft polyester slipcover kept the pillow in good condition, and it held up well against several cycles in the washing machine. All stains —there are a lot with twins—washed out of the material easily, and machine washing didn’t sacrifice the plush quality. Bonus: The slipcover is available in several colors, like blue, pink, teal, and green, with the pillow included. You can also buy the slipcover separately in a stunning navy blueor royal purple. Have no straps for securing infants, which can lead to a false sense that babies are safe to be left alone on the pillow; We took time testing the pressure and softness of the pillow, as we wanted to know if the pillows felt adequately supportive, too firm, or too soft. While we understand a pillow's softness is a matter of personal preference, nursing pillows should always be stable and never so soft the baby “droops” or sinks.

The surface of this pillow allows the baby to lie flat and is stable so babies can’t roll over, and they can’t sink in it either.Multi-Use - the Boppy Original is an awesome long term option since it can be used throughout so many of your babies stages, whereas the My Brest Friend is really only beneficial during nursing.

To ease them into this practice you can lay them over a feeding pillow, which will get them used to a new tummy position.Because babies can get quite wriggly and could accidentally hurt your incision scar, you can prevent this by adding a pillow as a barrier.

In addition, it’s foam-free and hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about your little one having an allergic reaction. Considering the sometimes astronomical prices of some baby products, it’s always good to hear that some of them can be used in more than one way – breastfeeding pillows included! Breastfeeding one baby can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. That’s how you know that every mom that’s breastfeeding two is nothing less than a superhero! But one of its best features is that its Miracle Middle stretch panel fits most moms, so yay for that! Since babies and messiness go hand in hand, you’ll be happy to know that this Boppy pillow can be removed and washed.This might not be as easy as it seems at first. That’s why a nursing pillow can be very helpful at this stage. Andrew Zenoff, the inventor of My Brest Friend, observed many of his friends struggling with this very issue. With a business degree, curiosity, and the desire to help, Andrew set out to do what no one had done before: create a nursing pillow with the sole purpose to meet the needs of breastfeeding moms and babies. On the other hand, some moms do find the pillow to be too soft, so keep this in mind if you prefer sturdier models. Over 25 years later, the My Brest Friend nursing pillow is still beloved by millions nursing moms everywhere.

This was a hard choice, but ultimately the BOPPY ORIGINAL PILLOW is our winner for the best nursing pillow. While I love the support provided by the My Brest Friend for breastfeeding, I don't love it for bottle feeding and it's not as user friendly or multi-purpose as the Boppy. Here's more detial on why the Boppy wins out v. the My Brest Friend in my book. Whether you breastfeed or bottle feed your baby, meal time is an important bonding experience for parents and their babies. A nursing pillow is a great option to ensure this time is comfortable for both you and your baby. These help to ensure baby is in the right position for your comfort and theirs, help to minimize poor posture and help to prevent your arm from going numb. For example, with my first one I had a problem with her sinking into the pillow I was using, causing me to hunch over. After all, breastfeeding is one of the most wonderful bonding experiences for a mother and her child. What I love is that it’s light enough to be carried around from room to room but sturdy enough to support the baby.

Customer reviews

Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow:While we loved the high quality and easy-to-clean cover, the pillow didn’t provide adequate support to keep a baby at breast height. Eight testers evaluated 16 nursing pillows in the comfort of their homes for one month, assessing each on several attributes, including quality, ease of cleaning, support, and overall value. We also consulted with Meema Spadola, a postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor, to find out what to look for in a nursing pillow.
