The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A feeding pillow (also called a nursing pillow) is an auxiliary product used to support your baby when bottle feeding or breastfeeding. The baby is placed on the pillow for feeding, which rests the caregiver's arms.

However, the Turkish Ministry of Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) do not recommend pillow use for safe baby sleep environments. A feeding pillow should only be used during feeding time, with the baby's head supported, and under parental supervision. It should never be used for sleep, brief unsupervised periods, or in places like cribs or car seats.

With a breastfed baby, a regular pillow or support pillow can serve the same function during feeding. A feeding pillow is not a necessity but rather a preference; the most important thing is that after feeding, until the baby has full head-neck control (usually around 4-6 months), they are immediately placed on a flat surface.
