Newborns are so tiny that it is often like trying to fit a puzzle together to get them to breastfeed correctly, and maintain their latch. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing, but when a new mom has just given birth and is trying to learn how to do it all, each little bit of help is a big thing. I bought the same breastfeeding pillow everyone had, and I had my issues. It never seemed to stay in place and because it was only a half-moon it was not always long enough for the positions my newborn wanted to breastfeed in. I wish I had had the My Brest Friend (love the name!).
My Brest Friendwas developed in a laboratory of new moms, babies, and breastfeeding experts who set out to create a pillow whose sole purpose was to answer all the needs of breastfeeding moms and babies. 50 prototypes and a global patent later, the pillow is loaded with features moms love.
My Brest Friend wraps around and secures to the body of mom which helps to maintain positioning and latch-on. It has wonderful features like:
* Back rest helps you maintain good posture during feeding and prevents sore back and neck
* Firm, flat cushion keeps baby from rolling
* Adjustable, silent-release strap fits Moms or Dads comfortably and unlatches without waking baby
* Arm and elbow rests eliminate shoulder stress
* Convenient Pocket keeps water bottles, burp cloths, phone, and other items within reach
It is the do-everything breastfeeding pillow. The My Brest Friend website has testimonials of how wonderful the pillow is. There is a good reason it is the number one choice of lactating consultants. They even have a breastfeeding support group on the site. Run, don't walk to get one of these wonderful pillows if you are or have plans to breastfeed.
My doctor's office has these and it was so nice to use. I used a boppy for nursing and it did not work well. I wish I had known about MBF sooner, it would've been especially helpful in those early weeks when positioning and latch are so tricky. Oh well, maybe for #2 if I ever go there again :)
