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 mums 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.

Great breastfeeding pillow
This is well made comfortable and supports mum’s back and baby comfortably.

Comfy and supportive
This works so much better than the classic semi-circle soft nursing pillow. I’m tall and have a big baby, and my back and wrists were bothering me. My baby was also uncomfortable unless I spent the entire nursing session repositioning him. With this pillow, I can get him set comfortably and let him be as he nurses. The foam is firm and supportive, the shape is ideal, and the pocket on the front is great for cell phone, vitamin D drops, etc. I never write reviews but this thing is worth every cent.

Best Nursing Pillow
First things first, splurge on the super deluxe. I have tried both the deluxe and super deluxe and the super deluxe is far superior. This pillow will make your breastfeeding journey so much better. It is the perfect pillow for the cross-craddle hold that they show you to do in the hospital (or really any hold). It offers a good amount of back support and good support for your babies head with the little lumps. The fact that you can buckle it to you makes it very secure and comfortable around your waist. This is so important because once your little ones starts getting more active and moving while feeding, you don’t need to worry about the pillow shifting around. Add this to your registry or purchase it yourself and don’t waste your time on pillows like the bobby, they are not great for breastfeeding and honestly make the first few weeks of breastfeeding more stressful. If you are going to spend money on anything, it should be a breastfeeding pillow that you are going to use 589525390529 times over the course of the next year (or however long your breastfeeding journey lasts).

Do yourself a favor and just buy it!
I loved this for breast feeding and my husband used it for bottle feeding and raves about it too. I ended up buying one after a lactation appointment and discovering how much easier breastfeeding was with one. Overall, this is easy to clean, soft, the perfect size for a newborn, and adjustable height with the Velcro.

Great pillow
I have back issues and this pillow has been great as it brings the baby up higher so I don’t have to lean over. Also, already I have had to clean the cover several times due to accidents and I appreciate that there is a plastic cover under the soft cover. As great as this pillow is there are still 2 things missing. 1. A handle so with one hand I can easily grab it to lift it up 2. A strap to strap in the infant. It just needs to be a simple strap to prevent them from falling off. My baby is 5 weeks old and can use her legs to roll over which becomes an issue while I’m trying to hold her with one hand and attach my nipple shield.

Very helpful
I love my Brest Friend pillow it very much has helped our bonding during nursing time. Comfy baby=happy baby= happy mama. They use these pillows at the hospital for their nursing class and that’s when we knew we had made a great purchase.

I absolutely love this nursing pillow. I had been using another pillow but it was always sliding around and the C shape was ineffective. Since getting the My Brest Friend it’s cut down on back pain, provides a great and comfortable surface for breast and bottle feeding, and is super easy to use. I absolutely love it.

This nursing pillow was so helpful while my little one was a newborn. It helped me aching back and arms during those late night nursing sessions in the early weeks. It also helped me to have a free hand to trim his nails while he was nursing as a calm newborn. For us, it stopped be useful by about 2.5 months of age… but this was SO helpful for those first couple of months!
