WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR REGULAR, DELUXE, AND SUPER DELUXE NURSING PILLOW?
Both models have all the same supportive, patented My Brest Friend features. The deluxe model offers baby-plush soft fabric and a double-featured strap that combines Velcro for easy-on and the silent-release buckle for a quiet removal that won’t wake a sleeping baby.
The Super Deluxe foam insert offers additional lumbar support for moms and babies who require additional support. The Super Deluxe has a double fastening system, with a deluxe buckle and one-handed Velcro adjusting belt.
The Super Deluxe foam insert is therefore thicker and only compatible with Super Deluxe Slipcovers. The Organic slipcover will not fit the Super Deluxe pillow, but we do manufacture the Organic Modern Art Designer pillow cover that is 100% Organic and fits our Super Deluxe Model foam insert.
WILL NEW SLIPCOVERS FIT MY OLD MY BREST FRIEND NURSING PILLOW?
Yes! The Original, Deluxe & Organic slipcovers fit the Original and Deluxe foam inserts. The core of the Original and Deluxe models are the same dimensions, so these model covers are interchangeable. The Super Deluxe and Twin model pillows have a different sized foam inserts and require covers specific to their model.
WHY ARE THERE TWO BUMPS ON ONE SIDE OF THE PILLOW SURFACE?
These are called feeding risers and they raise the baby’s head just a bit, aiding ingestion and digestion. We incorporated this feature into our design based upon the recommendations of lactation consultants.
I JUST GAVE BIRTH AND MY BREST FRIEND DOESN’T SEEM TO FIT – WHY?
Within the first week of giving birth, a woman’s uterus continues to be enlarged. As your uterus begins to shrink over the course of the first week postpartum, the pillow should begin to fit more comfortably.
WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR MY BABY TO USE MY BREST FRIEND?
The breastfeeding pillow supports babies up to 18 months and about 20 pounds. More importantly is that you and your baby are comfortable.
WHY DOES THE FOAM IN MY PILLOW HAVE A BIT OF A FUNNY SMELL?
If your foam has a slight smell, it is not harmful. It just needs to air out a little more. We recommend taking the cover off and exposing the foam to the open air for 12-24 hours. Do not place it in direct sunlight.
WHICH MODEL PILLOW WILL BE THE BEST FIT FOR ME?
We cannot say exactly what size will fit best because we produce the pillows to be one size fits most. We try to fit as many body shapes and sizes as possible, but we cannot fit them all. However, to help you choose the pillow that is right for you, we can provide an approximate range. The Original, Deluxe or Super Deluxe could be a good fit if your waist is within the approximate range of 28-inch waist minimum to 44-inch waist maximum. We also offer the Twins Plus pillow model which could accommodate approximately a 32-inch waist minimum to a 46-inch waist maximum comfortably. Please note these approximate size ranges are not a guarantee.

Would have given up breastfeeding without the help of this product!
This pillow was a lifesaver for me when it came to breastfeeding my newborn daughter. While I really love the Boppy for comfort while holding my little one, I had no success with it for breastfeeding support. When I visited a lactation consultant she had a Brest Friend pillow in the office that we tried. What a difference! After trying it there, I purchased one the same day. It was a perfect support pillow for nursing and really helped us find a comfortable position that worked. I really struggled with breastfeeding and without the support of the Brest Friend pillow I might have given up! We’ve already outgrown it but it was well worth the money as it allowed us to form a good nursing latch and establish our breastfeeding routine. Highly recommend this product!!

Definitely better than a Boppy! Helped me successfully breastfeed!
I chose this over the boppy pillow and I’m so glad I did. The boppy would have given me troubles with positioning and my son slipping between me and the pillow-definitely not what I would want while learning how to breastfeed (that’s challenging enough as it is)! This has a wonderful clip around the waist and a nice pocket for storing a few things. This product made me a successful, nursing mama!

Must have for new moms! Makes breastfeeding 100% easier
A must have for new moms planning to breastfeed. I wish I had this at the hospital with me from day one with my daughter, but I didn’t find out about it until a week later when every woman at my lactation support group had one!

Stays put. Super support
A shoulder and neck saver. My body was hurting after three weeks of feeding without this. One use and I know it’s gonna be a game changer. The wrap around support is key, so no matter what your sitting position. It stays in place.

Game Changer
Wow! This pillow has completely changed my breastfeeding experience. I was feeding the traditional way and ended up having a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders due to bad posture. This pillow is easily adjustable, sits comfortably under the breasts and my baby seems to feed much better. Well worth the money.
