A breastfeeding pillow is a support tool that helps you sit in a more comfortable position while nursing by supporting your arms, back, and neck, and positioning the baby at breast level. Especially in the first months with frequent and long nursing sessions, it reduces back, shoulder, and arm fatigue.
The most common use is wrapping the pillow around your waist and laying the baby on top to nurse; this brings the baby to breast height so you don't have to lean forward. It can also be used for tandem nursing (twins) and to reduce pressure on the belly after a cesarean.
According to general pediatric views, the breastfeeding pillow supports nursing success indirectly by improving mother comfort—but it's not essential. You can also get support from a regular pillow or blanket. What's important is positioning the baby's head and body in a straight line, belly toward you, and nose visible. Using a pillow makes maintaining this position easier.
