Overview

Description

My Brest Friend Pillows stay securely in place, without shifting or sliding.

The wrap-around design secures the pillow to the body, helping to maintain ideal positioning for latch-on while preventing back and neck pain. Arm and elbow rests help eliminate shoulder stress, and there’s a convenient pocket for supplies and other accessories.

The firm, flat-front cushion and adjustable, silent-release strap eliminate any gap between you and baby.

Is this good for the football hold when BF?
Ali r

It won't work as well for the football hold. The My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow is designed to support your baby in a gentle cradle hold. It positions your little one in a semi-reclined, tummy-to-tummy orientation so that their head, neck, and body are comfortably aligned for optimal latching during nursing.

Is the removable cover different between the deluxe and original? Are either for cool weather / warm weather? ?
April & Becka L

The Deluxe Nursing Pillow has a plush, ultra soft fabric while the Original is a polyester fabric. They're not made for different weathers- it's a personal preference for which texture is preferred.

Kim M
Is the cover removable and washable?
Lauren C

Yes, the cover removable and washable.

Alison S.
Does it come with the waterproof cover? If not can I get one?
Keri N

It doesn't. This pillow comes with a washable cover, but waterproof covers are available for purchase separately.

Rhodora N.
Does it come with a cover?
Tracey M

It does! The organic slipcover which is soft and breathable against baby’s skin provides extra comfort.

Jen A.
What is the largest size body this will fit around?
Caitlin T

This pillow is suitable for waists ranging from approximately 28 inches minimum to 44 inches maximum.

Camille C.
Is the cover machine washable?
Elina C

Absolutely! The cover can be machine washed in warm water on a gentle cycle and hung dry. Make sure the zipper is closed when washing and never put the cover in the dryer. The foam insert should be spot cleaned.

Camille C.
What is the difference between the original and the deluxe?
Laura G

The My Brest Friend Original and Deluxe nursing pillows offer the same supportive, patented features. The Deluxe model has a softer fabric and a double-strap system that makes it easy to put on and take off without waking a sleeping baby.

Camille C.
What is the cushion inside made of?
Nicole D.

The foam cushion inside is made of polyurthane with no added chemicals or fire retardants.

The pillow is fine, but I didn't end up finding it useful. Having to get up from seated and use two hands to put it on is prohibitive. The cover is hard to put back on after washing.

Definitely Recommend!
I genuinely loved this nursing pillow!! I have a shorter torso so it worked a lot better with getting my baby in a good spot! I started with a different brand, but my baby would slide in between me and the pillow and not get a good angle to latch. This comes right against your tummy to prevent that. I also had a C-Section and this was gentle as it could be against my tummy. Obviously some discomfort because of the tenderness of the incision but you can tighten and loosen the strap as needed! The support in the back really did help with my posture and made you feel more secure! It comes with a cloth cover that is removable and washable too! Which comes in handy often hah!

Love it!
Absolutely love this pillow for nursing. My baby was latching inconsistently and I was struggling to position him correctly while I was using a regular pillow. When I started using this one, he latches better, eats for longer, and his head is perfectly aligned. It is also comfortable and provides good support.

Must Have
Invaluable! Really helped my breastfeeding experience. Makes a huge difference to have the pillow attached to you and be able to keep it up high at your waist. Acts as an extra arm to keep baby secure. I do wish the cover was waterproof, since the foam gets grungy from spit up, drool, etc. I keep one in the nursery and one in the family room, and store it upright in a large gift bag from the baby shower (for example, the “Large ABC’s and Animals” bag from Target is the perfect fit) since it is a little awkward to store.

Best Purchase for Breastfeeding Success
Definitely get this if you plan to breastfeed. The boppy pillow is cuter in my opinion, but this is hands down more functional for nursing a newborn. My lactation consultant recommended this pillow when we were having trouble with a good latch in the first few days and it made all the difference in the world. Some people do just fine without any nursing pillows, but for us, this was THE most important purchase to help us be successful with breastfeeding. Highly recommend! (Caveat: I did buy a waterproof liner for under the pillowcase so spitup, etc doesn't soak into the foam, and that has proved very useful.)

It wasn’t my breast friend at all
This helped a bit Bfing my newborn but at 2 months she was too long to bother using this. Not to mention it’s such a hassle to get it on and off while your new baby is crying.

Get the Deluxe
Wish I scrutinized the reviews better. Had I known I would have sprung for the Deluxe version with better specs and inner waterproof cover! Because of the structure I still have a better nursing experience when I use this pillow than any bed/lounge pillows, so I will keep using. Baby loves it, though at 3 months her legs are hanging off.
It’s a bummer that this version isn’t waterproof (you have to buy a separate inner cover—lame), and you really should get an extra cover so you aren’t SOL while waiting to clean/dry your cover because the foam is useless without it. Babylist doesn’t sell it for this model (also lame). So do I spend another $40 to get an extra outer cover and inner cover? Probably not. I may get the Deluxe when I’m feeling spendy.

Go for another pillow
I was excited to receive this and wanted to love it so much. I didn’t like it at all. Material is awful, rough and synthetic-like. Inside feels like hard foam, not soft at all. Returned.

Disappointing pillow
This pillow came highly recommended. It was too much effort to use, especially at night. I ended up just using a regular pillow instead and I liked that much better. If you are wanting back support though this might work for you.
