My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow, Soft Rose

I just had my first baby and this product has been a HUGE lifesaver! The easy Velcro snap is great for easy adjustment or if you want to take it off completely. The back part is soft yet firm and provides amazing lumbar support when feeding! The shape ensures there are no gaps between you and baby so they don’t slip between you and the pillow. There are also two little “bumps” on both ends of the main let of the pillow which help elevate babies head to the nipple. Fabric is incredibly soft and the cover can easily be taken off and washed as needed. Even though this product is spendy, it is 1000% worth it! I recommend it to everyone!

My baby is currently 9 weeks and this pillow has saved my back! After 6 weeks of using the bellamoon pillow, which was way too big IMO (baby keeps falling between gap of you and the piillow, meaning I’m having to hold the baby completely and the pillow isn’t providing any support! This pillow allows me to attach it at the perfect height, allowing me to be mostly hands free when I’m sat in the correct position. The pocket is great for storing muslins, your phone etc. The size is a lot smaller than other pillows so I’m not sure how long it’ll last but I think for the first 12 weeks this is comfortable! Only downside is the cost hence 4*

The pillow is sturdy, is well fitted around waist so it does not slide when baby moves and provides great cusioning - I found it as a perfect solution after C-section as it protects the scar. However, for over GBP100 price tag the quality of materials is disappointingly very low (see pics - the foam inside whdn taking off the cover is such cheap material and looks as if smb cut it out at home and glued together :-) ). If a European or Asian manufacturer would come up with similar C-section friendly pillow design, it would be both cheaper for customers and would be a great business idea, as I‘m sure would get a lot of demand.

It says it was deluxe version but the supposed deluxe cover has bobbles already. I paid over 100 pounds for this and quality is not expected.

Particularly poor quality, material was bobbled and threads hanging from everywhere. Looked like it had been used, at least the cover. Returns process is also a pain but the people were very nice.

I swore by this pillow for my first two pregnancies but to my dismay, when I got this for my third, it was my mistake to NOT read what the ‘soft plush’ fabric was. It’s 100% polyester. Omg. I’d really think that after so many years one would improve and for babies with delicate skin, this should NEVER be used. It’s hot, scratchy and I can already foresee rashes. I’m Super upset but I’m due soon and it was my mistake to just chuck it all aside until 2 weeks before my delivery to wash everything and saw this horrid thing. So be warned.

Firm pillow, great especially for newborn stage as it helps raise baby up (rather than sink him like other softer pillows). Only complaint is that for the price, would be better if a cover was included (I bought that seperately, really helps to keep the sponge part clean and prevent discolouring).

One of the key benefits of this pillow is the support it offers. It elevates my baby to the right height, reducing strain on my back and arms. I no longer experience discomfort after extended feeding times, which is a game-changer for nursing mothers! It comes with a removable, washable cover that makes cleaning a breeze. I appreciate that it has held up well in the wash and still looks brand new after multiple cycles. Overall, I highly recommend this pillow to any nursing mother. Its combination of comfort, support, and versatility has transformed my breastfeeding experience, making it enjoyable for both me and my baby. It’s definitely a must-have item on any breastfeeding journey!

A lactation doctor recommended this product to me as a tool to make nursing more comfortable. The back support is amazing. The baby loves it. We have been using it for 3 months now. I had gone a month before without it and can attest that life with the pillow is better. Boppy is great for child sitting and tummy time but the Brest friend is far superior for nursing or even bottle feeding in a cradle position. Highly recommend and also suggest the waterproof cover which comes in handy when then baby is old enough to drool.

After hearing rave reviews from friends who had this nursing pillow I decided to give it a try. I was a little skeptical when it came because it is so different from the boppy that I already have. I have to say that I absolutely love this pillow though! It has made nursing so much easier as far as the flexibility I now have to move around the house as I nurse. I have a 3 month old who is a little over 7 lbs and I can comfortably nurse her while I stand up or walk around (I hold her in place while doing this, and this may not work for everyone or every baby) because of how secure the pillow stays around my waist with the lumbar pillow in back and the velcro strap that goes around it. This pillow is so much more comfortable than my boppy for several reasons. *First of all it is taller, and because of this I no longer have to worry about hunching over to nurse. I can adjust the pillow to sit higher on my waist if I need to, or it just sits comfortably on my lap as well. *Second, the pillow is wider and flat on top instead of being rounded like the boppy. Now my baby no longer rolls towards me or away from me due to the rounded top of the boppy, and she no longer "falls" into the gap between me and the nursing pillow. *Third, the velcro strap really is very secure and with the deluxe pillow I can adjust the velcro to fit snugly against my body and can use the plastic clasp to unbuckle it so I don't wake her by pulling on the velcro strap. *Fourth, the pillow is a good size around, and what I mean by that is that it isn't bulky on the sides, and I can fit into pretty much all rockers and gliders easily. Whereas the boppy was so wide on the sides that I didn't actually fit into all the chairs I wanted to nurse in. The lumbar support on the back is great also, making this pillow very comfortable to use no matter where I'm sitting. I do use the little pocket to put my cell phone in, especially if I'm walking around while I'm nursing, and I imagine it would be a good place for burp clothes or pacifiers as well. It is actually a good size pocket with a little velcro tab that keeps it closed at the top too. Overall I am very pleased with this pillow and really wish I had skipped buying the boppy and had this one from the very beginning. It really does make nursing much easier, more comfortable and more convenient.
