This is great, awesome even, for my son who likes to read in bed but I'm not sure u would recommend it as a breast feeding pillow. Having tried several options for myself, I would suggest one of those half donut pillows. They seem worthless but really work the best. I can't remember the name, but they are in all baby stores I think.

I use it to read in bed and find it very comfortable... imagine it might be good for breastfeeding....

I found this bed rest to be too soft. I wanted to use it to sit up in bed to read. It did not provide the support I was looking for - not very firm. Personally, I found sitting in a recliner or sofa worked best for me when feeding my baby.

Hi! It would probably work as it isn't real stiff. It is comfortable & kind of soft. Good luck to you & your little one. Munchkin ���

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

I don't know if it will help you get to sleep fast but this is the best pillow I've ever slept on! I sleep through the night - no more tossing/turning or fluffing the pillow all night! They are very comfortable, keep their density remains constant - soft support & comfortable! They never sag, or get lumpy or have a depression from where me head lies! I bought 2 of them, and they are equal in quality & comfort to a more expensiveWamsutta pillow I previously purchased! I would suggest you also buy washable fabric pillow covers to preserve your pillows. Found some nice ones on Amazon & also satisfied! Sweet dreams and wake up rested!

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

I purchased an XL. It didn't work for me at all. I tried it for 2 nights and then had my husband try it. It didn't work. I just went to my Amazon account and went to the Section for returning something. I printed up a return label, including postage, and sent it back to Amazon. They reimbursed the purchase price. I did buy another one of these pillows, just in a smaller size. It has worked fantastic. My problem is shoulder pain and this pillow allows me to sleep on my side without having any pain. It has really been a miracle pillow for me. But if it doesn't work for you, you can return it and get a full refund. Best of luck!

It's hard to answer as I have not tried the other pillow. However, I was a little disappointed with the Cabeau. Using it as a pillow worked for me, however, as long as it was just bunched up and not around my neck. On the other hand, it really works for some people

Sorry Carol, I bought the pillow for my girlfriends daughter cause she like my memory foam pillow so much. Unfortunately her mother and I have went separate ways :-(

I would definitely recommend as my baby is exclusively breast fed and she could easily use this one , she is still using it! She is 1 y o now�

Hi John. I would use when baby is at least 3 months and up. My baby didn't develop a flat spot, but since he preferred one side I was worried he would and got this pillow.

I used the leacho back n belly contoured pillow during my pregnancy and it was the best thing I bought during my long difficult 42 week pregnancy and even the weeks after postpartum. I had severe nausea and back pain so I was bedridden most of the time. This was a lifesaver! I washed the pillowcase regularly and never had bug problems. I highly recommend it! It will do wo ders for your hips and back! I'm 5'3" and small. I never got past 130 Ibs pregnant. Not sure if that makes a difference to others, but I loved this pillow.

yes it sure did for me. I loved the pillow but it was just not for my neck pain/injuries. if it had been a shorter rise (low rise) I'd have kept it. it does not push down much when you sleep on it and it holds it's firmness. yet it's not hard like some foam pillows are. if they ever make a low rise pillow I'm going to get it as I really wanted to keep it. for a good neck it would be perfect.

I did. I believe it's approved for all night sleep. It's great for babies with reflux because it sits them up. Similar to the Rock N Play but without the terrible reviews. We loved this and used it until she didn't fit anymore!!

**As far as the niplettes slipping off, get a $1 tube of personal lubricant. You put it on the entire area, then put the niplette over it. It creates a seal that was strong enough for me to sleep in! Yes! I started using mine as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The longer/more often each session you use them, the faster/better the long term effect will be. I've had flat/inverted nipples my whole life, just never knew the terminology. After 6 children and only the last baby bf successfully for 6 months ONLY because I wore breast shells 24/7 before delivery and for 6 months after, I was determined to bf again... With a lot less trouble! These are great!

I suppose it's possible, however I do have a boppy as well and that's what I use. But for breastfeeding purposes only I recommend this pillow.

Rogges, so did you find this worked for your little one and his/her reflux? I'm debating on whether to get it or not. My 7 wk old is having it pretty bad. Thanks in advance!

The pillow actually ended up being too large for me. I am petite 5'2" and it pushed my neck too far forward. For an average size or larger adult it might be ok. I am currently out of town so cannot measure the exact thickness, but it is quite thick in the center as well as the wing sides. The center of the pillow was also too wide for me and extremely firm. I ended up using one as a lumbar support in my office chair and the other as neck support when I do floor exercises. I hope this helps!
