Guide Review - My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow Review

The My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow is designed to be used for nursing mothers at all stages. Each nursing pillow has a special latch rise on both sides. This small bump helps to places your baby's head in just the right spot to help with breastfeeding latch.

Having the right latch is very key to a comfortable breastfeeding experience. This subtle difference in pillows can make the world of difference to a new mom who is trying to get their baby to latch on well. You don't find this in other breastfeeding pillows.

The back support is built in. This looks odd and I wasn't sure that I would like it, but it wound up being very comfortable and made breastfeeding much easier. The pillow attaches with Velcro on the side.

This pillow makes a great gift for the new mother or even a baby shower gift. The company also sells covers so that if you want to reuse it for another baby and want to spruce it up or change its look, it's as simple as changing the cover.
