Allykat's Tales
One of the best gifts that a new mom can receive is a nursing pillow. It is often forgotten about, but is a practical gift that is going to be used more than any other item purchased for the baby. Owning this pillow will help a new mom in so many ways.
The nursing pillow was designed to help a new mom when breastfeeding, but many moms have found that it is wonderful to use it when bottle feeding as well. The pillow will help to position both mom and baby for optimal comfort when breast or bottle feeding. You will have less strain on the back area and extra support for your arms and neck. This equals a more relaxed and happier feeding experience, plus better quality of bonding time.
A breast-feeding pillow can also be used during non-feeding times. Many moms use the pillow during tummy time to help support the baby when laying on the floor. Also it can be used to help babies that are just learning to sit by themselves by giving them extra back support.
A nursing pillow can also be used before the baby arrives to help a pregnant mom when sleeping. It is just as comfortable as a body pillow and will enable you to get so much use out of this purchase. Additionally, many moms use the pillow as a seat cushion after giving birth, as it makes sitting much more comfortable after labor.
You will be able to find nursing pillows in many different colors and patterns to match your layette. They are decorative and fun as well as useful. There are also several shapes to choose from. Some have a hole in the middle and others are shaped more like a round pillow. This is the baby purchase that you will definitely not regret!
