Breastfeeding pillows are not designed for putting a baby down to sleep. Their soft structure can pose a breathing risk during sleep—the AAP recommends that baby sleep environments should be free of pillows, blankets, bumpers, and other soft objects.
Places where you can use the breastfeeding pillow:
- For support during nursing (in the mother's lap, for baby positioning)
- During tummy time with the pillow under the baby's chest for support (under supervision)
When the baby sleeps, they must always be placed on a firm, flat surface (crib, play yard), without a pillow.
