1. Boppy

The Boppy was not originally designed as a nursing pillow, however, it has come to be used quite frequently for this purpose. Many moms really love the dual use of the Boppy as a nursing pillow and a baby toy. The one complaint about the Boppy for nursing is that it doesn't fit all moms around the waist. Lots of colors and patterns and now removable covers on some models.

This breastfeeding pillow is less circular and therefore fits your lap rather than your waist. It offers bright designs and can be used for other purposes.
3. Utterly Yours Breast Pillow

The Utterly Yours Breast Pillow is a bit different than most breastfeeding pillows. This one supports your breast for hands free nursing rather than supporting the baby. This is a great gift for a new mom and works really well for mothers with larger breasts.

This pillow wraps around your waist for a secure fit while you feed your baby. It also has latch risers to help ensure a proper latch for breastfeeding babies. Pockets help store items needed while feeding baby.
5. Honeysuckle Pillow
The HoneySuckle Nursing Pillow is a great breastfeeding aid. It probably works best for moms with long torsos or those who will be on a chair without arms.6. Twin Nursing Pillow

When you have more than one baby, you need just the right breastfeeding pillow to help. A normal nursing pillow just doesn't cut the mustard because you have two babies. If the babies are smaller, they need evern more support and you have fewer hands...
