How a Nursing Pillow Helps
Because you will feed your baby frequently in the first few months and sessions cAN take as long as an hour, you may experience back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Using a nursing pillow allows you to avoid these pains. Moms who underwent C-sections will find that having a nursing pillow between their abdomen and the baby makes a big difference.
Since the pillow brings the baby to the right height, it also encourages latching.
