What is a nursing pillow used for and how to choose the right one?
You've probably heard of so-called "multifunctional" pillows, which are used for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. But have you considered choosing a specialized pillow specifically for breastfeeding? Today, we'll explain why this choice can make all the difference for your comfort and that of your baby.
Why a specialized breastfeeding pillow?
Unlike classic 2-in-1 models, which are often bulky, the pillow exclusively dedicated to breastfeeding is specially designed to accompany you during breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
Thanks to its ergonomic shape, perfectly adapted to your size, it offers you maximum comfort and considerably reduces tension in your back, neck, and arms. You no longer spend your time readjusting your cushion: it remains stable, firm, and always at the right height.
What are the benefits of a breastfeeding pillow?
Here's exactly why you'll love this specialty cushion:
-
Perfect ergonomics: it naturally fits your waist and allows you to maintain a straight and relaxed posture.
-
Less bulky: easy to store, it doesn't take up space on the sofa or in your room.
-
Ease of use: you can install it quickly, even with your baby in your arms.
-
Ideal for all breastfeeding positions: Madonna, rugby ball, lying down, or sitting.
-
Designed for both breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
🤔 Nursing pillow VS Pregnancy pillow: what are the differences?
Here is a simple chart to help you understand the benefits of the breastfeeding pillow:
| Criteria | Dedicated nursing pillow | 2-in-1 pregnancy pillow |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Compact, handy | Long, bulky |
| Ergonomics | Stable, ideal height | Often too soft, unstable |
| Practicality in everyday life | Very easy to handle | Difficult to move |
| Main use | Breastfeeding/bottle feeding only | Pregnancy, sleep, breastfeeding |
With a specialized pillow, you get the best possible support for comfortable breastfeeding.

To get the most out of your cushion:
-
Sit comfortably on an armchair, sofa or chair.
-
Wrap the pillow around your waist, just below your chest.
-
Gently place your baby on it, in a side position facing you.
