I have a newborn and my wrist is in a splint with tendinitis so I really feel the weight of the baby's head on my arm. I want to buy a nursing pillow - I'm currently a size 14-16 and am bottlefeeding. I heard the Boppy pillow is narrow and doesn't fit around slimmer waists than mine! Please recommend if you can. Thank you!

I just got this one, very cheap and the covers are about only £3 each (you'll need spares, I found that I tended to spill/drop my food more than baby sick but I am breastfeeding so stuck under baby for hours).
I got 2 actually, one for bed and one for the sofa. Perfect for feeding, makes no difference what size you are.

Argos

I loved my feeding pillow. It was similar to the Argos one, although I got mine in TKMaxx.

I used to put it behind my neck as well if I was watching t.v in bed on the rare occasions DD slept.

I don't get how the v shaped pillow helps me support the baby's head with my bad arm?

Did you look at the Argos link?

My Brest Friend is good but quite expensive.
