Some mums can get by without ‘em, but we’ve always found that nursing pillows are a necessity. So when we got the chance to test drive the YOU Nursing Pillow from local company Positively Pillows, we jumped at the chance. The only problem? We’re not actually nursing any longer. So we passed our pillow onto an intrepid breastfeeding tester, who liked hers so much she wouldn’t give it back. “I can’t imagine one night without it,” she protested.
The YOU Nursing Pillow has an elongated U shape that helps ensure proper latching, offers versatile positioning options and supports your lower back, shoulders and arms. They come in two different options, one with a 100% hypo-allergenic polyester fibre fill, the other, their premium pillow, with a micro-bead filling that molds and conforms to your body. Plus you can choose from nine different cover patterns, and even order a spare cover for backup in case of spit up or other baby-related accidents.
Positively Pillows are looking into more environmentally-friendly fillers as well. And we think it’s great they use up fabric scraps from their YOU Pillows to create eye pillows, sachets and more.
We have to admit, we did test the pillow out for ourselves, and we didn’t want to give it back either. The kids used it for lounging. We used it for reading in bed and watching TV on the sofa. Plus it provided lumbar support for sleeping as well, apparently it’s great when you’re pregnant. And it works for tummy time for your tots too.
Like all our favourite things, the YOU Pillow multi-tasks. So buy one for nursing, and you (and your family) can enjoy it for years.
We LOVE the YOU Pillows. We carry 4 different versions of them. The nursing pillow, the theraputic pillow, the kapok fibers pillow, and the microbead pillow. The theraputic pillow is great for everday use and if you’re a plus-sized mom, it’s a great fit for you. Just that much longer and wider that it works great too. Love them, love them, love them!
