Best Breastfeeding Pillow!

I can’t let World Breastfeeding week go by without mentioning my absolute favorite breastfeeding “accessory.”

The Nesting Pillow – Organic Nursing Pillow with Washable Slip Cover

The Nesting Pillow by The Blessed Nest.

This is THE BEST nursing pillow on the market. I say this for many reasons, and here are my top 3:

  • It’s made of organic cotton, and filled with organic buckwheat. Need I say more? No, but I will: most nursing pillows are doused in flame-retardant chemicals and made with synthetic fillers and materials. Your newborn baby will be nestled up to this many times per day, with her nose mere centimeters from the toxins. Have you considered that?
  • It does not have to strap on or “clip on” to your body. Great for moms of all sizes, and those who don’t want to feel restricted while breastfeeding. This non-rigid design also means you can use it before the baby comes as a body pillow, can use it to nurse your baby long past the newborn stage, and a toddler can use it to lounge on…
  • It is great for travel! I take mine on the plane, and it serves as a great “bed” for my baby to nap on (on my lap) during the flight. Hmm, laying on a blissfully comfortable organic, eco-friendly and familiar pillow, or laying on the metal seatbelt??? What would your baby choose?

World Breastfeeding Week

Every day this week is dedicated to mama’s milk.

If you are currently breastfeeding a newborn, hang in there! It will get easier!

If you are currently breastfeeding a baby 6-12 months, congratulations on making it this far!

If you are breastfeeding a toddler, I’d love to hear from you! How is it going? What are the challenges you are currently facing? Do you have any words of wisdom to share?

My 22 month old son now politely asked for the “nurse cover” when we are out in public. The first time he did that my heart melted. I love how patiently he waits as I dig around in my bag for it.

If you are breastfeeding now (or will be soon) I highly recommend the Breastfeeding Support Kit by Earth Mama Angel Baby.

Breastfeeding Support Kit

I had mastitis a total of 5 times, and I couldn’t have lived without the Booby Tubes.  The Nipple Butter was a miracle worker those first few painful weeks- I had a jar by my bed, the couch and the shower at all times. The tea is also good- not overpowering like some of the others out there.

Keep up the good work mamas!

Free Nursing Cover!

I have lots and lots of new mom gifts to buy this summer, and one of my favorite gifts is a nursing cover. I am STILL using mine.

It’ a practical gift, but also one that can be fun! I’ve posted before, but it’s worth visiting again- here is a link to a site that offers free nursing covers!

Pineapple Mania

I know we don’t want tons of kitchen gadgets cluttering up our kitchen, but if it’s something that will help up us actually eat more fruits and veggies, I’m all for it. And that’s why I have to recommend another magical fruit cutter!

I’m in Hawaii, and I’ve discovered The Pineapple Slicer

Have you always wondered how to cut a pineapple? Try this gadget- it’s great because you can leave the shell of the pineapple intact and put the cut fruit back in it, then use it as a centerpiece!
