The right nursing pillow will help support a breastfeeding baby, making nursing more comfortable for parents and babies alike.Over the past nine years, we’ve interviewed 11 breastfeeding experts, conducted online research, and tested almost two dozen nursing pillows with four focus groups of nursing mothers.After our latest round of testing, we continue to recommend the Luna Lullaby Nursing Pillow, the Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow, and the My Brest Friend Twin & Plus Nursing Pillow, and we’ve added the Boppy Uplift Nursing Pillow to our lineup.It’s important to know that the pillows in this guide are not safe spots to allow a baby to sleep; the only safe place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface, like that in a crib, a bassinet, or a playard. In September 2024, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a federal mandatory standard that reiterates the safety hazard of allowing a baby to fall asleep on a pillow, and companies including Boppy and My Brest Friend state that these pillows should be used only for feeding.Everything we recommendThe Luna Lullaby Nursing Pillow is a notably soft and, well, pillowy option.
