all about YOU
Filed Under Multi-tasking, Pregnancy and Birthing, Stuff | February 26, 2009
You might be thinking that you’ll put your nursing pillow to good use post partum, but if it’s a Canadian-made and designed YOU Nursing Pillow don’t wait, the sooner you can get your pregnant paws on one the better.
YOU Pillow’s nursing pillows have a unique, elongated U shape which makes them perfect to use as a body pillow to keep your pregnant self in better alignment while sleeping. Our testers also loved the head and neck support they provide for lounging about watching TV or reading in bed. Your pillow can also be used for labour support and once your baby’s born they comes into their own as a nursing pillow, of course. When your babe’s a bit bigger you can use your pillow to prop them up during tummy time or give them added support while they learn to sit. In fact the YOU Pillow pretty much defines multi-tasking.
Pre-nursing we do recommend you get a quick demo from a professional on how to use the YOU Nursing Pillow correctly, as it’s not completely intuitive until you’ve used it right. The YOU Pillows creators, two mums (natch!), will be on hand at lots of upcoming events to answer your questions and show you how to get the most from your pillow. And taller or plus-size mamas-to-be may find the YOU Therapeutic Pillow a better fit. It does all the same great things, it’s just a bit longer and wider.
You can also mix and match to create the perfect YOU Pillow for…well, you. Start by choosing from either a 100% hypo-allergenic polyester fibre fill or micro-beads that mould and conform to your body and then pick a cover from lots of bright, washable prints and even add additional covers to match your moods, your home or your outfits. If you prefer a more environmentally-friendly pillow hold off for the Eco-YOU Pillow with an organic cover and natural Kapok fill that’s debuting this spring.
But just be sure not to let your partner know how useful and supportive your pillow is, or they may well co-opt it for themselves.

I love my You pillow. During the pregnancy it was all that kept me the least bit comfortable. Now it is used everyday for nursing and back support while on the laptop.
