- Why We Bought - While I was pregnant I started writing a long list of essential items we would need for when the baby arrived. Then whenever anyone wanted to buy us a gift and wanted a suggestion I had a long list of items with a range of prices. It also helped me remember what I still needed to buy, pregnancy can make you quite forgetful! One of the last items left on my list was the Widgey Nursing Pillow. This seemed to be a very popular brand for a nursing pillow and I knew I wanted this over any cheaper alternatives. Only a week or so before I had my baby we went to John Lewis to buy the pillow. - The Pillow - The pillow is shaped like a big ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ When my son was born, he arrived a few weeks early. My wife was also recovering from her C-section, so it looked like mother and child would be staying in for a few nights. Given his birth had taken us by surprise, we weren't really ready for him, so I was immediately despatched to Mothercare for some essentials (or at least what, in my better half's considered opinion, qualified as "essentials"). I was given a list, and being of a bloke persuasion, I spent half an hour aimlessly wandering around the shop and finding most of what I needed quite by accident. However, the last item on the list ...  Read the complete review

The Widgey nursing pillow really is a tough one to review. On one hand, when you need it for feeding, it's perfect. On the other hand, there are quite a few little niggles that mean it falls short of five stars. I had two very different experiences with it with my two pregnancies, the first being twins and the second being a single baby. I bought the Widgey pillow after having my twins - I hadn't thought a feeding pillow to be a huge necessity, but while my sons were in the neonatal intensive care unit, I used a hospital version of this pillow, and it really was brilliant. It also helped me arrange my sons to feed them both at the same time (in the underarm ...  Read the complete review

As mentioned in a previous review when I was pregnant a friend of mine lent me a range of maternity pillows and cushions. One of them was this widgey nursing pillow. I knew it wasn't going to be large enough to breastfeed my twins on but I had been looking at v pillows to prop baby up on and thought that this would do the job instead. The nursing pillow This pillow comes in a variety of designs, the one I borrowed was pink and white spots so ideal for my baby girls. The pillow cover zips open making it easy to remove it for washing, it took a few goes to get the knack of getting it back in the cover but when you're tired even simple tasks can seem like ...  Read the complete review

Now, when you are expecting a baby you receive many wierd and wonderful presents, one of which, for me was a WIDGEY nursing pillow. Who makes them? PHP makes them and you can buy them from Mothercare, Kiddicare, John Lewis etc. The price that my lovely sister paid was £24.95 and they range from £24.95 - £30.00 depending on what cover you get. What are they? Well they are called a nursing pillow but I would actually call them a multi- tasking pillow of many uses! They are a big thick pillow in a horse shoe shape. As mentioned above it comes with a removable cover (which you can throw in the washing machine and tumble dryer with no problem) ...  Read the complete review
