Natural Curve Nursing Pillow

The ideal nursing pillow should provide support for caregiver and baby and help achieve a comfortable breastfeeding or chest position. It should be easy to use, made of safe, durable materials, and easy to clean.

The primary function of a nursing pillow is to provide both mother and baby with support in breastfeeding positioning for a healthy latch. For Mom - you will want to have support for your arms, with the pillow snug against your body, you will want to be able to lean back and relax your shoulders during the feed. You may also like to use a small stool to elevate your feet slightly. Baby's mouth should be at level of mother's breast. Mom should not be leaning into baby. For Baby - Head, neck, and body should be in a straight line with baby's nose and mouth positioned level to and facing mother's nipple. Baby will need to lead with its chin and open mouth widely to initiate a good latch. Baby should be positioned tummy to tummy with mom. Nursing pillows can play a helpful role early on in providing small infants with a much needed boost in height so that baby's head and mouth are at an appropriate position and angle for efficient and comfortable feeding. They also help maintain appropriate positioning for baby's body during feeding. Early on, keeping baby's head, neck and body in a straight line is important.

Molds may form when items are left wet and unclean, but may be inhibited in Polyurethane Foams. Like any other Polyurethane Foam pillow, you need to ensure that it is cleaned when soiled, and dried well. The advantage of our nursing pillow foam is that, it is made of closed cellular foam which repels water or moisture up to a certain degree. The closed cellular foam will prevent the water or liquid from penetrating the inside of the foam. So, if you clean and dry the liner completely and maintain the integrity of the foam, the foam will last for a long period of time.

Ergobaby's Natural Curve Nursing Pillow foam has one of the lowest odors in the market. But odor may be present, especially for new foams out of the packaging. This odor dissipates quickly in about two days. Simply airing out will speed up the process. If you notice a new foam smell, simply let the pillow air out for a day or two before using it.

Due to the firm supportive nature of our pillow, and our goal of providing moms with comfortable breastfeeding support, the Natural Curve Nursing Pillow does not fit well in armed rocking chairs. We wanted to make sure there was enough surface area to fully support baby, and that the opening of our pillow was wide enough to accommodate moms of varied sizes.

Baby lays beside you, with legs and feet tucked under your arm, hips are flexed and his legs resting towards your back or gently tucked behind your back, if your baby is longer. Baby is facing you, with his mouth at nipple height. A nursing pillow can be a useful tool to help elevate baby to reach your nipple.

The unique curve of the Natural Curve Nursing Pillow was designed to keep baby's head elevated above their tummy, which may aid digestion, while cradling baby in to you, tummy-to-tummy, for that ideal position. You also get the added benefit of getting to have direct eye contact while feeding baby.

The Natural Curve Nursing Pillow is so firm so that it will firmly support baby in a position that lifts him up to your breast so that you do not have to slouch down to achieve a proper latch. This helps contribute to your comfort throughout each nursing session. The firmness of the pillow also makes it so that the pillow does not loose its shape and have to be "fluffed" to provide the breastfeeding support you need.

In order to better align with our sustainability values, we utilized innovative vacuum-compressing technology to compress the pillow and ship it in a reduced-size box. This technology compresses the pillow without impacting the pillow's integrity, firm support, or soft pillow cover. When it's time to unbox your Natural Curve Nursing Pillow, use a pair of scissors or a similar tool to cut the outer plastic wrapping. Remove the compressed pillow from the packaging and let rest for 15 minutes while it decompresses. Once it's full size, add the pillow cover and zip it securely onto the pillow. Buckle your stay-put strap when not using it.
