Guide Review - HoneySuckle Nursing Pillow

The HoneySuckle Nursing Pillow was nice in that it reversed sides rather than try to be both sides at once. This way you just flipped the pillow over to the other side when you moved your baby. This meant the pillow was smaller and easier to store.

It also had a nice lip to help hold your baby on the nursing pillow. This really helped when trying to use both hands to nurse, particularly in the early days of breastfeeding. But it wasn't large enough to get in your way should your arm stray that direction.

The body of this nursing pillow is slanted with one side larger than the other as well as taller. I'm fairly tall for a woman, 5'9", though my torso isn't so tall. If I wasn't sitting on an armless chair it was nearly impossible to get my breast and the baby in the right spots let alone the same spots. So I'd have to change seats. Sometimes I'd rather be sitting on the couch nursing!
