Can I use this pillow for breastfeeding as well?

It's shape will not allow it to wrap securely around you like an original Boppy, so it may be difficult doing some feeding postions (I.e football or hands-free). I also think the filling is not dense enough to offer ample support for baby. Of couse, my opinion. Others may feel it would work fine.

You could- it's big enough to go over your lap...but it's much softer than a boppy/breast friend pillow so it may not offer enough support. Hope that helps.

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.

Don't know yet... Not due for two more months. But it is great for sleeping

I did. I also used it later when I was bottle feeding to prop him up so my arm didn't get tired. Also used it the make sure he didn't roll off the couch while I went to get get his bottle quickly. Loved this pillow. Had many more used then the other horseshoe shaped ones.

I didn't like it. It doesn't have enough support. The best pillow for breastfeeding is "my brest friend"

No...this would not be a good pillow for shoulder support. The way that it's made it would not be comfortable at all if you had your shoulders on it. The pillow cradles you head & neck only.

It depends on your pillow size. Probably yes. But this is a very pricey soybean. People like me to buy it for soybean milk. In many other stores, you could get nice soy beans by $1/pound.

I purchased this pillow when my daughter was born but didn't really use it for long periods of time until she was 4 months old because she didn't sleep on her own until then. She's 7.5 months and is still using it. Except for her being a wild sleeper and I find the pillow pushed on its side, I really like this pillow. I'll continue to use it until I feel she needs a big girl pillow. It's cute and you can throw it in the washer/dryer.

I bought this pillow, which professional reviews states is suitable from birth although I bought it at about 5 months. I further researched however, that babies don't need pillows to sleep and she has proven that by finding her way flat on the mattress rather than staying on the pillow. It's now used when I can monitor her during her daily naps.

I personally only wear mine on the non-nursing side when my daughter is feeding but it really isn't very bulky so I think you could wear it in your bra. Sometimes I forget to take it out so I bend over and milk has gone all over the place.... just to warn you! Haha.

I bought this support when I was pregnant. It was awful. I don't think it would work super well for nursing. You may be reclined too far back.

Sure. It would be great to use while nursing :) I have 5 kids of my own and nursed them all! Come to think of it, this would have been great for that! Best wishes!

my wife always used it and still using it for breast feeding along with the boppy pillow

It's more firm than most pillows, but it most certainly can be used as one. Honestly though, think of it as something like a stuffed animal, best used for cuddling.

Yes. I machine wash it all the time and my baby has been doing tummy time on it since she was 6 weeks old wthout the pillow.

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!

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

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.

I am not sure why you would want to.... The purpose of the pillow is to allow adjustments to obtain the perfect level of support for your neck.... Without water it doesn't seem like it would be very comfortable and I am sure you could find another product better suited to your needs.

Not really. I use it as a bolster pillow instead of a body pillow because it is too soft. I've had so so success with folding it in half and propping myself up. Hope this helps.

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.
