Which nursing pillow?

staceymack · July 2013

Which nursing pillow do you recommend for twins?

My best friend deluxe, Twin Z pillow, standard boppy or new two sided boppy?

The best friend deluxe looks like a good option but not sure if that back support would be bothersome.

TIA!

I have a breast friend and love it!! My girls are 9 months and we still use it daily. Standard boppies were a waste for me. Are you thinking the back strap would be weird? I really rely on the strap because the pillow pushes forward otherwise and drives me nuts. You could always just not strap it if you choose not to use it!

I love the my breast friend pillow! I have been tandem nursing with it from the start and my twins will be 5 months in a few days. I tell people all the time how helpful it has been. I also appreciate the back support. And once I get them both latched on I can have both hands to do whatever I want and let the pillow do the work.

I used the regular boppy for my singleton and it worked fine for one baby. I do not think it would work well for two.. haha.

Funny, I asked my midwife this question yesterday and she said she only recommends the My Breast Friend for twins...she said its the best quality and most practical one out there. She also mentioned it's very useful in Csection cases since you can strap it up higher and shield the incision from contact while you heal.

I ordered the MBF Deluxe and got it yesterday. I tried it out and the back support isnt too bothersome but you can also remove it if you choose to.

LOVE the Breast Friend twin pillow. I highly recommend it! If the back support bothers you, you can either take it off or put another pillow behind you on. Top of the back rest part so your whole back is supported.

I loved my My Breast Friend Pillow. I used it to attempt tandem nursing but we had non pillow issues (low supply, preemie who wouldn't latch, etc). I ended up pumping but still using the bottle to tandem feed. I held them in modified football holds with the bottle in my hand instead of using the breast. I loved it! and I didn't always use the back piece.
