When to Use a Nursing Pillow and Why

Using a nursing pillow prevents hand, wrist, back, and shoulder pain. While it may not be needed for every feeding, it's helpful for cradle, cross-cradle, or football positions, and can also assist with bottle feeding.

You can also use a nursing pillow for better support while bottle feeding. It can be a helpful tool for dads, grandparents, older siblings and other caregivers while bonding with a baby.
