The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A breastfeeding pillow is a very practical helper for mother and baby, especially in the first months. Its main function is to support the baby in the breastfeeding position, relieving strain on the mother's arms, shoulders, and back. This allows the mother to sit more upright and comfortably, while the baby is positioned at breast level.

Most common use: wrap the pillow around your waist and join the ends in front, then lay the baby on top. You can also use it as back support when side-lying to breastfeed, or as a sitting support pillow for your baby as they grow older.

Pediatric perspective: A breastfeeding pillow is a safe helper, but it should never be used as a sleep surface for your baby—the safest sleep surface for babies is a firm, flat mattress.
