Why Nursing Pillows? - bnp2 // Hyperlinks

It's Science!

1. Better Position = Better Latch

When baby slips down, they can only grab the tip of your nipple (ouch!). Keep baby level with your breast and studies show 53-76% less nipple damage.[1]

2. Stop the Sliding, Stop the Pain

Poor positioning lets baby slide away from the breast, forcing shallow latch. Research proves incorrect positioning increases nipple trauma risk by 94% compared to proper support.[2]

3. Stable Height = Consistent Success

Lactation consultants agree: baby's chin needs to stay pressed into the breast for deep latch. Firm, level support prevents the constant readjusting that breaks suction.[3]

4. Stop the Hunch, Stop the Pain

Without support, you lean forward to reach baby. This strains your neck and shoulders for hours every day. Research shows 84% of nursing moms get back pain—and poor posture is the main cause.[4]

5. More Comfort = Longer Success

When feeding feels good, you stick with it. Studies prove comfortable moms breastfeed longer and reach their goals.[5]
