A nursing pillow is a specially designed cushion that provides support for breastfeeding mothers. It is typically shaped like a crescent or a U, allowing the pillow to fit comfortably around the mother's waist. This design helps position the baby at the right height for feeding, reducing strain on the mother's back and arms. These pillows can also be used for bottle-feeding and can support the baby during tummy time. Many nursing pillows come with removable, washable covers for easy cleaning. They are often filled with foam or fiber to provide comfort and stability during feeding sessions.
