My Brest Friend Deluxe feeding pillow
A firm, wrap-around feeding pillow that clips on and holds baby at breast height, sparing your back.

We researched feeding pillows because hunching over a newborn eight or more times a day is hard on your back and shoulders. My Brest Friend wraps around your waist and clips on, so it stays put, and its firm foam keeps your baby level instead of sinking. It has a small backrest and a pocket, and the cover comes off to wash. ProductReview owners rate it 4.6 out of 5. Trade-offs: it is bulky and does not fold for travel, the clip can be awkward to undo with a sleeping baby, and it does not suit every body shape. It is for feeding only, never for baby to sleep on.
