Breastfeeding

With the arrival of a new baby, there are many decisions to make. None is more important than deciding which form of nutrition is best for you and your baby. Breastfeeding has many important advantages: numerous government and private industry associations today recognize and promote the importance of exclusively providing breastmilk to babies in the first twelve months of life.

In addition to the health benefits, breastfeeding requires mom to take some quiet relaxed time for herself and her baby, helping you both bond. Physical contact is important to newborns and can help them feel more secure, warm, and comforted. Breastfeeding mothers may have increased self-confidence and feelings of closeness and bonding with their infants.

There is no ideal position when breastfeeding, as every mother uses the one she finds most comfortable. The use of a nursing pillow makes it much easier to find the best position for you and your baby. This can help prevent problems with nursing and make it a more comfortable experience for both you and baby. However, not all pillows are alike. The Boppy Feeding Pillow has been voted America’s favorite baby product a record nine times. And the Boppy Feeding Pillow has been tested by the CHICCO OBSERVATORY, which recommends it as the most simple and ideal aid for mothers and babies during breastfeeding.
