The breastfeeding diet is a big concern for mothers, and most of all for those who feed their babies on breast milk only, with no formula supplements. This concern is natural, because some substances in the foods moms eat pass into breast milk, then into the infant’s digestive system. First of all, you need to know that breastfeeding is not the same as pregnancy, so you won’t have to avoid so many foods. While you can eat and drink almost…
This nursing pillow is designed for night time breastfeeding. It helps providing a proper spine-pelvis alignment for the baby, thus helping avoiding complications that might occur as a result of improper positioning. Nurse N Glow was invented by a Doctor of Chiropractic, Laura Bartner. It won the JPMA International Innovation Award and iParenting Media Award in 2005. This pillow features a built-in soft glow light, just enough for the mother to see what she’s doing, without having to wake up…
Twins! What a blessing! This is the first thought that comes to mind when you hear you’ve got twins. All thoughts that follow are related to making sure to buy everything in double size or quantity: double clothing items, double diapers, double-sized stroller, double cribs. It's true, your wallet will surely feel the difference from one to two babies, but it’s maybe a good thing to have the children growing together and save you from going through another birth again.…
Leachco Cuddle-U is really more than a nursing pillow. It has a seat wrap which prevents sliding out and offers an additional support. It can be adjusted to the baby’s size, so you can use it on newborn babies as well as on bigger infants. Being much softer than My Brest Friend, this pillow is a winner for more difficult babies who don’t like to lay down on the stiffness offered by the firm foam that’s inside of My Brest…
Boppy is a doughnut-shaped pillow that was initially designed only as infant support, but it quickly became one of the most popular nursing pillows. Inexpensive, simple and functional, the Boppy conquered the heart of many breastfeeding mothers, because it offered them the freedom to use only one hand when nursing and do other things with the other hand such as answering their emails or using the cell phone.
Although cheap and easy to put on, there were mothers who…
Leachco Cuddle-U is really more than a nursing pillow. It has a seat wrap which prevents sliding out and offers an additional support. It can be adjusted to the baby’s size, so you can use it on newborn babies as well as on bigger infants. Being much softer than My Brest Friend, this pillow is a winner for more difficult babies who don’t like to lay down on the stiffness offered by the firm foam that’s inside of My Brest Friend. Leachco Cuddle-U can also be used as a support for the baby when he learns to sit or when resting after breastfeeding.
The dimensions of the pillow are 20” x 18” x 7” and its weight is 2.3 pounds. The pillow is not adjustable to the waist size, so big mothers will have troubles in fitting it on. However, they can try to use it sideways, if they don’t find a better option for keeping the baby in the correct position when breastfeeding. The pillow features a hidden pocket on the bottom side, thus being very easy to get ready for breastfeeding when the time comes (or when the baby says the time came).
The main drawback is that the pillow doesn’t have a removable slipcover, so cleaning it can be tricky. Anyway, making a pillow cover is quite an easy do-it-yourself project, so any mum can find some fun in it, provided that she has minimum sewing skills. Because of the slightly elevated, yet comfortable position offered to the baby, the Leachco Cuddle-U can give great results in reducing symptoms of infants suffering from acid reflux.
One of the features appreciated by many mothers is that the pillow is compatible with Angelcare monitor, if you set this one on the highest sensitivity level. Another feature that’s in top of the preferences, is the harness, which makes it impossible for the baby to fall out or wiggle out from the pillow.
