Nursing Pillows That Make Breastfeeding a Breeze

What did mothers do before all of the posh pleasures of newborn life were introduced to the modern world?

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.

Baby Bump: My Brest Friend

My Brest Friend ($35 - $45) may not be your best friend forever, but we can pretty much guarantee that it will be your best friend for a while.

My Brest Friend ($35 - $45) may not be your best friend forever, but we can pretty much guarantee that it will be your best friend for a while. Created by a man, it's a blessing for new mothers.
It is a cushion that has an adjustable strap to snap around your waist and serve as a platform to rest your baby on while you nurse. It also has a pocket to hold bottles, nail clippers, or your remote control. And because all babies spit up every now and then, it comes with a machine washable slipcover. If you can afford the splurge, go for the $45 plush version with the Velcro strap.
