What did mothers do before all of the posh pleasures of newborn life were introduced to the modern world? Technology and genius inventions have made the life of a mama much easier to manage, even breastfeeding. Where a pillow and a couch were the only accessories a mom once needed, she can now sit in the lap of luxury with a plush nursing cushion that adjusts to her specifications and even has a pouch to hold her nipple cream and water. Some offer a separate layer to adjust the child's positioning while others turn into lounge chairs for the wee ones. While any woman could get by with her own two arms and her babe, it makes the lactating world a more pleasant place to be when mommy can rest easily.
Fair warning, I've heard of certain men taking control of these tools of motherhood for their football watching frenzies on Saturday afternoons and turning the pouch into a beer and remote control apparatus.

1No nursing pillows were helpful for nursing in my case. They all set right on my c-section incision and brought the babies up too high to nurse comfortably. However, I found the Boppy very useful for playtime or being able to set them down long enough to pee. It made them feel cradled, so it took them longer to realize they'd been set down. My only complaint is how expensive the different covers are.
2Perfect timing! I was just researching pillows!
3I have a Boppy. Haven't used it yet, but that's what most of my mommy friends recommended.
4I had a c-section and the boppy was great. I am going to buy a new one before my second is born in two months. It is one of the top five things I recommend you have with a newborn.
