Hello I bought this snoogle pregnancy pillow and love it. But can it also be used as a feeding pillow?

I believe so. You can wrap it around your belly and it gets higher and higher, and probably high enough to support your baby. By the way, I am not pregnant or the mother of a small child, but I do teach childbirth preparation and host a new mom's group. I deal with breastfeeding issues all the time and I think this would make a wonderful feeding pillow. If you still have the card that came with the pillow, they give you different ideas on how to use the pillow. Give it a try! And good luck!

I thought it was perfect for night feedings. My baby slept in a co-sleeper next to the bed, and I would just sit up, wrap the Snoogle around me, feed, then get right back to sleep. It was perfect to offer support for the baby, and also my back while I sat up. It's a little too much to deal with for day feedings though, a Boppy was better for that.

Hi, it is a bit too big to use as a feeding pillow. However, if you position it right in a spacious area you can use for feeding, I can be useful. Thanks!

No. I agree with Elizabeth Emami answer!! The purpose of the pillow is to allow the perfect level of support for your neck. Thats the real purpose for this kind of pillow.

Sorry, we had to return the pillow because it was too large for my little mother.I don't think from looking at it that it would be comfortable for sleeping. More for sitting.

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.

As far as filling, the one I got is fairly firm and stuffing doesn't seem to move around, I don't think using it as a body pillow would do too much harm to it.

1. You could use this for tummy time, but if your child is using their legs to push off at all (like when they're starting to crawl), they might go over the front edge if they're on their belly. 2. You can use this pillow immediately after birth! I found it when my daughter was about a month old, and she is almost 3 months now and still uses it.

It can be; this pillow is a bit more stiff than the usual type of pillow so it does take some getting used to but I wouldn't go back to a regular pillow ever; I am a side sleeper and manage to sleep just fine on it; I do tuck my shoulder under it and push the pillow under my neck to cradle and support it more, but I am using it for side sleeping.

It is too big to breastfeed with it on your lap. You could possibly put baby in it and nurse while leaning or partially laying but it would not be comfy.

It could work for that but not as well as a regular nursing pillow. The Boppy and Mombo are much more firm than this pillow.

I actually find it a bit uncomfortable for my neck with a normal pillow; I need a much softer pillow with the wedge I use (which is 7 inches not 12). The pillow is really designed more to alleviate reflux, which it does for me, and maybe reduce snoring if you have sleep apnea.

I think it would work just fine. That's actually what I had planned to do until I saw that a full sized "soft" Walmart pillow was flimsy enough to fit inside and only cost me $3. It makes for a firm pillow but I don't mind a bit! Especially not for $3 :)

I dont suggest you use it as a pillow. I sometimes use it as a pillow when my kid rotate in the bed and I have to rotate as well. In the morning I will feel my neck is stiff and hurt

The wedge is too narrow to use for pre-natal massages. I returned it. If the infant doesn't move around much I suppose it could be used to lay an infant on to sleep. If the infant fell to one side she/he could be on their face.

I'm not sure if it can be used while breast feeding. I believe it's too big to fit in your lap, and the middle is lower than the edges. It would be difficult to position. I have the standard Boppy as well. I think this serves a completely different function.

I would have to say no. The pillow is great, and my son loves it for his naps at school, but that is only for an hour. I don't think it was made for long periods of time like a full night. Maybe if you put a small sleeping bag underneath?

Yes, you can! I just bought this pillow last week, queen size. It was too high for me, so i opened one end, removed almost two grocery bags full of stuffing(its just loose foam pieces ). Now its perfect, fits in the pillowcase better too. I'm saving the stuffing in case i need to add some later.

No, this is not meant to be used as a nursing pillow as it does not contour your body. It is meant to be used in addition to a regular boppy. A place for them to chill out while you are getting ready to nurse or right after you finish.
