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.

Good Fit
This fits the My Breast Friend pillow well. It comes with the strap if you want to strap it around yourself. There’s also a small pocket in front which is helpful to stick my phone or the TV remote in. I’ve only had it around a month but it’s held up well so far.

Great material and easy to clean
This was one of the better covers – not all are the same material and this one is soft for baby and easy to clean when you drop / baby spits up / etc.
