For Infants in the first few WeeksUse the curved or flat side of the pillow to support your arms while they support baby. Make sure to support baby's head, neck and shoulders to keep baby's body in a straight line from head to neck to tummy. As baby grows, you will more than likely transition to utilize the pillow to support the baby without your arms underneath. Experiment with various positions to see what works for you and your baby. |

Football HoldPosition the Natural Curve Nursing-Pillow-with the curved side positioned around your side with one of the raised ends resting on your lap. Pick up baby so his head is on the pillow resting on your lap, with his body lying next to you at your side. Experiment with positioning of pillow and baby to find what works for you. |

As Baby GrowsIf a baby is getting bigger and may be feeling a bit cramped, allow one side of the pillow to move away from your body, giving more room for baby's legs while still offering support to baby's head. Try rotating the pillow around you to place baby's head on a lower point along the curve. |
What to look for in a Nursing Pillow?
The ideal nursing pillow should provide support for mom and baby and help achieve a comfortable breastfeeding position. It should be easy to use, made of safe, durable materials, and easy to clean.
What is the primary function of a nursing pillow?
The primary function of a nursing pillow is to provide both mother and baby with support in breastfeeding positioning for a healthy latch. For Mom - you will want to have support for your arms, with the pillow snug against your body, you will want to be able to lean back and relax your shoulders during the feed. You may also like to use a small stool to elevate your feet slightly. Baby's mouth should be at level of mother's breast. Mom should not be leaning into baby. For Baby - Head, neck, and body should be in a straight line with baby's nose and mouth positioned level to and facing mother's nipple. Baby will need to lead with its chin and open mouth widely to initiate a good latch. Baby should be positioned tummy to tummy with mom. Nursing pillows can play a helpful role early on in providing small infants with a much needed boost in height so that baby's head and mouth are at an appropriate position and angle for efficient and comfortable feeding. They also help maintain appropriate positioning for baby's body during feeding. Early on, keeping baby's head, neck and body in a straight line is important.
