breastfeeding pillow

[suzi2]

I've tried the archives but couldn't find anything even though I know there was some discussion about this.

Anyway, a friend is due with her first in a couple of months and I was telling her that I found a feeding pillow very handy (still do!) and know that others have found them handy, even more so after a c-section. Anyhow, I have a giant beanbag sausage thing that I used as a body cushion and while it is good, I don't think it is ideal as the beans shuffle about a lot. I do recall that someone recommended something else? Also, what do you think of \link{http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/BruHome/BruFeeding/BruFeedingBreast/BruFeedingBreastAccessories/736880?ref=Search\this one?}

I have one like that and found it great. I used it more for cosleeping than feeding as I was paranoid I'd squish dd so would put itsort of round her feet, but away from her face, iyswim, so I'd lean on the cushion not her. Also used it to give her tummy time so she could see a bit more and when she was learning to sit up, so it was always good for something. Oh and it also made a great footrest in bed on the nights I got her into her cot!
Can't go wrong

I used a Boppy cushion £25ish from John Lewis - fantastic. The ToysRus one looks very similar

I had this one - much better than the ones full of beanbag beans \link{http://www.expressyourselfmums.co.uk/My-Brest-Friend-breastfeeding-pillow/prodnum/49/areanum/181\brestfriend}

I got mine from Blooming MArvellous via a NCT nearly new sale. I also have a mothercare one but the Blooming Marvellous one is much bcetter.

Thanks everyone. I'll forward this thread onto her.
