This is how the nursing pillow supports you when breastfeeding

There are these types of nursing pillows

Nursing pillow filled with ESP beads

• Durable
• Hygienic
• antiallergic
• Easy

You should pay attention to this: The pearls can smell pungent. They are made with styrene, which is necessary for the foaming of polystyrene. This in turn is processed into the pearls. When buying nursing pillows with ESP beads, pay attention to the workmanship and quality. If this is bad, the styrene can outgas and be carcinogenic. A good tip is therefore the smell test. If the nursing pillow smells funny, you should definitely refrain from buying it.

Nursing pillow filled with wool balls

• Flexible
• Soft
• Malleable
• Pleasant

You should pay attention to this: Since the filling is made of wool, the nursing pillow can quickly become damp. So you should keep it dry. For some babies, the wool filling is too soft and they “sink” into it. However, you should try this out yourself with your child, because this soft material is particularly suitable for some babies.

Nursing pillow filled with grain

• Store body heat
• Stable
• Made from natural material
• Adaptable

You should pay attention to this: If you are allergic to spelled or grain, a nursing pillow with these fillings is not recommended. Like the wool pillow, you should store it dry, otherwise mold can form in the pillow when it gets wet. The nursing pillow is much heavier than the other pillows, so you should consider beforehand whether it is suitable for your needs (if you use it mainly as a base, a heavy pillow can be an advantage, if you want to carry it mainly, or in your arm as a support for your baby, a lighter pillow may be more suitable).

Before you decide on a nursing pillow, you should test different designs. Maybe your girlfriend or midwife has a nursing pillow that you could try? You will quickly notice which filling you get along with best. It can also be an advantage if the nursing pillow has a zipper so you can ventilate the contents.

Nursing pillow during pregnancy: The ideal pregnancy pillow

Nursing pillows can help you relax during pregnancy. You can use it in different positions and for different purposes: under the back to relieve the spine, on the stomach to support it, under the legs to elevate them and so on. You can place the pillow exactly as it is comfortable for you.

Nursing pillow as a positioning aid when breastfeeding

Breastfeeding your baby often takes a long time. Especially if your baby is very close to you during a growth spurt . It is all the more important that you put your baby on so that you are comfortable too. Above all, you should take care to relieve your back and neck as well as your wrists and elbow joints. This is very easy to do with a nursing pillow: You can lay your baby on the pillow while breastfeeding so that it lies comfortably and makes breastfeeding easier for you. No matter in which position you prefer to breastfeed, the pillow can always be of help.
