The Nesting Pillow- Organic Nursing Pillow with Washable Slipcover (Paloma)

I’ve tried a lot of breast pillows in my almost 3 month breastfeeding journey. MyBreastFriend, FridaBaby pillow, the Nest, and of course normal bed pillows. Of the nursing specific pillows, the Nest was my favorite and continues to be used. It’s bean inside allows you to mold it so if you need a little less support by the breast and more on the body then you can accommodate. Since it’s moldable, it also fits if you have a little pouch leftover from pregnancy. You can scoot it right into the spot you need it to keep baby close. Fantastic for football hold and larger breasted ladies. Some of the other pillows didn’t allow me to comfortably recline against the bed backrest or weren’t the right height with my breast. Also no need to worry about back pain because of a strap! It’s quite heavy and stays in place well. Baby didn’t seem like she’d roll off it easily if I wasn’t paying attention. Relatives have also used this to help prop up an arm or my husband has used it as a pillow when he lays on the couch with her. Very nice pillow. Allows for multiple positions.This works relatively well for babies with reflux as you can may it on your leg if sitting crossed legged to have an angle to feed baby. Other pillows like the myBreastFriend or FridaBaby are strictly shelf pillows and only allow for a flat feed. This made my baby vomit as she has GERD so we needed the flexibility to feed her so her head was higher than her tummy.

This pillow might seem pricey but it’s 100% worth every penny. I tried others… they scooted away, were too firm for my c section belly, were hard to get on/off, didn’t provide support, made of bad materials, I could go on and on. I finally gave in after using this one at the pediatrician and bought it. I love that it has so many uses (unlike many others, lookin at you MyBrestFriend), doesn’t scoot away, and I don’t have to shove pillows or blankets under it to get the right support. Also it’s made from such quality materials and I’m supporting a small business, just makes me feel better about spending all the dough. But for real, don’t buy two or three pillows to meet your needs. Buy this one and it will meet every need!

I was SO excited about this pillow. My lactation consultant had one and I tried probably 5 popular brands of nursing pillows without success. There is little more frustrating than nursing a newborn at all hours and not being able to support them/you comfortably. I thought this was the answer because it is the only one on the market that keeps its shape when you adjust it. However for baby 2 finally caving and splurging almost $150, I found that it is comfortable to have on your lap but really doesn't hold its shape and is pointless for me to support my baby. It's like a flimsy, loosely filled bean bag. I don't know if it just doesn't have enough filling? The product otherwise is exceptional from a quality standpoint but functionally just does not meet my expectations, particularly in light of the price.

I was gifted a Boppy before baby was born but finally caved and decided to purchase this pillow anyway because of the phenomenal reviews I'd read on some blogs and because of the organic materials, and I'm so thankful I did. This pillow has made learning to breastfeed so much easier for both baby and me and has helped so much during our first week home. The weight of it is amazing for post partum cramping during nursing and it conforms so nicely to both baby and me in any position, whether sitting or lying down. I've tried the Boppy once and aside from the price, can't see why it's the #1 selling nursing pillow. I seriously don't know how people get by without one of these. I was hesitant because of the price, but can totally understand the cost with the organic materials and being made in the USA and honestly the price is insignificant when it comes to success with breastfeeding which is so challenging as it is.

I am plus size and the standard boppy nursing pillows just did not work for me. I was having tremendous back pain within a week of nursing my little one. This pillow worked great for when little guy was newborn and still works great now that he’s 4 months old. It’s like a beanbag, so that may be a turnoff for some, but it’s perfect for me because I can shape it just how I need it for each nursing session. It was pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion.

Best breastfeeding pillow out there. Worth the expense as the materials are organic, and the product easily conforms to your body and baby for optimal support in any breastfeeding position. This is my number one recommendation for new moms. It is noticeably different than other breastfeeding supports on the market. After bringing my Blessed Nest to the hospital for the first two days after my baby was born, the midwifes, nurses, and doctors all commented and recognized how the Blessed Nest seemed comfortable for both baby and mom no matter what position we were breastfeeding in bed. Now after three months of daily use, I consider my Blessed Best invaluable to our comfort and am pleased by the quality and durability. I appreciate that my baby is spending all of her breastfeeding time on a pillow made of organic and natural materials. I have since purchase a Nest Egg as well for my own neck comfort when nursing in bed or in different chairs around the house or to provide additional height under the Blessed Nest at times.

Buy a Brest Friend. Way better product and much cheaper. Tried to return this pillow and the seller will not accept because it has been opened. Unfair practice.
