A nursing pillow is a specially designed cushion that provides support for breastfeeding mothers. It helps position the baby at the right height and angle, making feeding more comfortable for both the mother and the infant. The pillow's shape often resembles a crescent or a U, allowing it to wrap around the mother's waist. These pillows can also be used for bottle-feeding and can support the baby during tummy time as they grow. Many nursing pillows come with removable, washable covers and are filled with materials that provide both comfort and support.
