1. Do you really need a nursing pillow or feeding pillow?

Well, it’s definitely depends on the person whether it is beneficial or not. Some mothers experience tremendous back pain due to long and regular feeding sessions. A feeding pillow will take off the baby weight and provide a comfortable position for you to feed. Instead of a feeding pillow, you can just use a normal pillow while breastfeeding. However, the special design and structure make it comfortable to use feeding pillow, especially during the initial months. Even if you are not planning to breast feed, it can still make bottle feeding comfortable.

2. When does a mother need a nursing pillow?

You will use a feeding pillow whenever you breast feed your new born baby – which can probably be more than a dozen times. However, once your baby reaches 4 – 6 months of age, they will be able to hold their neck and head without support. Then nursing pillow may not be no longer needed. In that case, you can use it as a support who cannot yet sit up on their own.

3. Is it ok if baby sleeps on feeding pillows?

It’s definitely no. According to American Academy of Pediatrics, pillows (of any kind) should not be used. Because if they accidently roll, pillows can cause suffocation which is completely dangerous.

4. What is the difference between a normal pillow and nursing pillow?

A nursing pillow is completely different from normal pillows. Conventional or normal ones usually allow the baby to sink quickly so it is doesn’t add much support to you or your baby. However, a nursing pillow has to be round enough to snuggle against your abs. The high quality foam cushion is firm enough to hold the weight and position of the baby while breast feeding.

5. What are nursing pillows made up of?

Mostly the materials used for making baby feeding pillows are cotton and polyesters. These both materials are soft, durable and safe to the baby’s delicate skin.

6. Is it ok to wash baby feeding pillows?

It is not recommended to wash baby feeding pillow. However, every pillow comes with a removable and washable cover. It can be either hand-washed or machine washed for hygienic conditions. If you still want to clean the pillows, then we recommend to sponge clean them or gently hand wash. And make sure to dry them under sun completely before using them

7. Are all baby feedings pillows a fit for all sizes?

Nope. Not all nursing pillows are a fit all size. However, they are adjustable so it provides enough fitting and comfort.

8. Can I prop my child using a feeding pillow?

Actually it is not fully advised to use a nursing pillow for prop up or sleep. Yet some manufacturers seem to recommend it. However, make sure not to leave the baby unattended.

9. What can I do with nursing pillow once I am done using it?

It is not advised to pass it over the feeding pillow to any one (be it your relative, friend or neighbor). Once you are done with the feeding pillow, place it in recyclable stuff. You can also use the pillow as support for babies who are learning to sit-up.

10. Can I use the same nursing pillow for my twins?

Yes, you can as long as it has the space to accommodate both the babies. You can also purchase a nursing pillow that is specially made for twins.

11. I just gave birth but my feeding pillow seems to be tight?

Actually, your uterus still continues to grow in the first week of child birth. However, it will shrink back in second week. So, you will be able to fit into the nursing pillow.

12. What is weight limit of a feeding pillow?

It depends on the brand, type and other factors. So, it is better to confirm with the manufacturer or read the instructions present behind the product before making the purchase.

13. How long can I use baby feeding pillow?

This actually depends on how fast the baby grows. However, it can usually last for 9 months at least.

14. Why does my feeding pillow smell funny?

If your pillow has just a little smell, then it’s not harmful. Just air it out to remove the smell. Remove the cover let the foam have some air circulation for at least 12 – 24 hours. Remember that they should not be placed in the direct sunlight.

15. Can I take my feeding pillow on a plane?

This usually depends on how big the nursing pillow is. If you have a smaller one and need support through a long flight, then you can take without any problem. If you travel a lot, then consider purchasing a C-shaped neck pillow or another that is specially designed for travel.

16. Does a nursing pillow have any chemicals or stuff that is harmful for my baby?

Usually, most of the nursing pillows from top brands don’t have any stuff that is harmful for mother or baby. However, we recommend reading all the information from the manufacturer before making the purchase.
