Twin Nursing Pillow Guide
A comfortable twin nursing pillow
will surely help when feeding twins (together or separately). Not to mention, dad, grandma, or other helper can use it too for bottle feeding. Read on for more detailed information on the most popular choices.
The EZ-2 Nurse Twins Feeding Pillow
Popular among twin mothers, this was designed by a mom of twins herself! This pillow really helps to emulate the position of how a mother brings a baby to breast in the bend of her arm. Notice how the babies are clearly coming to her at an angle. The angled top surface allows you to bring your babies to the pillow and position them on their sides so they are facing you. When nursing, a baby should never be placed on a flat surface because then he'll have to turn his head sideways to meet the breast. Not only is that position uncomfortable but it also impedes the natural swallow reflex and digestion. The perfect solution for breastfeeding twins. Made of durable precision-cut fire retardend foam. Foam is thick and firm and supports up to 70 lbs. Cotton cover is velcro and removable for machine wash-and-dry. Included is a soft detachable back pillow for moms extra comfort and support, as well as a handy carrying case. You can order one for around $59.
The Twin-Z Nursing/Feeding Pillow
A pillow with a lot of versatility, the Twin-Z is another great twin mom invention. To use for breastfeeding just tuck one side down and the large surface provides a firm area to nurse your twins. Alternately, leave the side out to have an extra holding area for one baby while you nurse the other. For bottle feeding the Twin-Z easily supports two babies while you support their bottles. As babies grow they can lay on the pillow and hold their own bottles. The Twin-Z is a pillow for tummy time, sitting up and playtime too. It also features unique snaps to close the ends of the pillow to keep small babies in the pillow snugly. There are a variety of prints to choose from including some sport theme prints for dad. Get your own Twin-Z for $49.99.
The Ever So Tiny Twin Nursing Pillow
Recommended by Hospital Nurses, Lactation Consultants, Chiropractors and parents of multiples, the Ever So Tiny Twin Nursing Pillow has been specifically designed for and by mothers of twins and triplets. It's roomy enough for nursing twins on each side of mom. Also, it adds comfort and ease when bottle-feeding one or more babies by either parent, grandparent, friends or caregivers. Proper positioning is a key to successful Breastfeeding. Good latch-on can be achieved by having your baby somewhat elevated. But this is not always easy - many women experience stress & pain in their back & shoulders due to improper posture. A good breastfeeding or nursing pillow provides back support so Mom does not hunch forward. Lactation consultants also recommend a pillow that straps securely to Mom so that the pillow is not constantly shifting. You can order this pillow from Ever So Tiny for around $75.
Basic Comfort Nurse EZ Plus Breastfeeding Pillow
Big enough for twins, comfortable for all, the Nurse EZ Breastfeeding Pillow is great for breast feeding and bottle feeding, too. It has a nice, thick contoured shape and the back strap keeps the pillow comfortably in place. The covers come in blue, lilac, pink or sage. You can find this pillow for around $47.
