PHP Widgey Nursing Pillow

~~~~~~~~~~~ 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

I desperately needed something to help me breastfeed my daughter. I gave up breastfeeding my first daughter quite early, partially for not getting comfy and getting a bad back, but due to other reasons too, and I didn't want the same thing to happen this time.

The cushion was about £25 from mothercare and is decorated with a cheerful cow print. You can buy extra covers for about £10, useful to have in case your baby is sick on it.

It's great for feeding in bed or in a nursing chair although as it's ...  Read the complete review

My friend recommended this to me to help with breastfeeding. I was great for when I was breastfeeding my daughter - meant I could support her with the pillow and still have one hand free to eat/drink/change the channel on the tv etc... It also saved my back and arms from holding on to her as well. My husband also finds it useful to cuddle our daughter as they tend to make each other very hot and this emans that she isn't snuggled into him as much so they aren't making ewach other as hot! He also found it great in those first few weeks whilst he was getting used to holding her as it gives some extra support. Since we stopped ...  Read the complete review
