  • That’s why many new moms use pillows on their laps for their baby to rest on the pillow while nursing so that all the baby weight will not be on your arm and you will feel relaxed.
  • But the problem with normal pillows is that they are not too wide, fluffy, or lengthy to hold your baby correctly. And though you keep a pillow in your lap you still have to hold your baby for nursing or you have to bend down a little for your baby to rest on the pillow which is very tiring and you will get back pain because of that.
