I was going to order the my best friend one which is meant to be very good, but I don’t know how long that will take to arrive from the US.
Can you recommend me a good quality one please? That you have personally used?
Thanks

None of them. They can make positioning the baby really hard / ineffective.

Plus, if used for example twins or to support with any physical needs, they need to be tried in person.

If you’d like to buy a breastfeeding gift, pay for a lactation consultant appointment :)

I’m not a fan either (having BFed for four years in total). I find it much easier to get comfy with a few normal cushions that you can move around as needed.

I’d only get one if you absolutely know it’s needed and wanted, rather than as a generic baby item.

None of them, they just get in the way

I thought I could do without a pillow and was absolutely wrong.

Random cushions were a PITA.

My sister got me one that hooked up at the back in a ring - much better than the shallow ones at the front.

None i breastfed a singleton and twins and found they got in the way.

I’ve been breastfeeding my baby for 17 months now and use the Bella Moon pregnancy cushion for feeding (it’s a 3 in 1 cushion so converts to a breastfeeding one) - I’ve found it really comfy and supportive and still use it for every feed.
