Baby nursing pillow models designed for newborn babies allow mothers to establish a comfortable seating arrangement for a long time, while helping babies to feed more comfortably. Their functional designs maximise the intended use of the pillow and facilitate every use. Thanks to the adjustable features of the pillows, the most comfortable position for both mother and baby can be easily found. These products can be used not only during breastfeeding but also at different times of the day. They strengthen the bond between mother and baby with the comfort they provide.

Baby nursing pillow models can be equipped with various accessories and additional features. Some models have extra pillowcases or waterproof covers.

What does a nursing pillow do?

A nursing pillow is a special product designed for the mother to hold her baby more comfortably on her lap. It is of great importance to ensure that the baby is in the correct position during feeding and to minimise back and arm pain that may be experienced by the mother. These pillows help to reduce the stress that may occur during breastfeeding.

The baby nursing pillow, which is necessary to protect the physical comfort of both mother and baby during breastfeeding, improves ergonomics in the feeding process. While preventing the pain that may occur in the mother's back and waist, it also allows the baby to feed more safely and comfortably. In this way, the breastfeeding process is more enjoyable and less stressful for both mother and baby.

The use of a nursing pillow ensures that the baby is kept in the correct position, allowing the airways to remain open and a healthier breathing process. The correct position can also help prevent certain discomforts such as gas pains in babies. Considering the frequent breastfeeding needs of newborn babies, the use of nursing pillows is also of great importance in terms of practicality. With its quick and easy installation, mothers can meet the baby's urgent needs with less difficulty.

Another benefit of using a nursing pillow regularly is that breastfeeding becomes more regular. When the baby is more comfortable with the physical support of the pillow, the frequency and duration of feedings often settle into a more predictable routine. This helps new mums to have more order and control in their daily lives. The soft and comfortable baby textile materials used around the pillows protect the sensitivity of the baby's skin and provide extra comfort.

How to use a nursing pillow?

"How to use a baby nursing pillow?" is a matter of curiosity, especially for new mothers. To do this, the pillow must first be positioned in a suitable place, usually on a sofa or bed. The pillow can be adjusted according to the space and should be positioned so that it is suitable for the mother's waist in terms of height. This supports the mother's back and helps to prevent back pain during breastfeeding.

Another important point to consider when using a pillow is the durability of the product. The pillow should be firm enough to support the baby and soft enough. The ideal nursing pillow should be designed to maintain the natural position of the baby's head and spine, so the shape and filling of the pillow should be chosen according to these requirements.

When using a nursing pillow, mothers should ensure that the baby's neck and spine are properly supported by placing the baby's head on the pillow. This ensures that the baby is comfortable and reduces the risk of suffocation during feeding. The space between the bottom of the mother's arm and the pillow should be adjusted correctly so that the mother can support the baby comfortably without using her arms too much. You can warm your baby during the feeding process with baby blankets that you can use in cold weather.

An ideal nursing pillow should be chosen according to the mother's own body type and sitting habits. Another important factor to consider in this selection is the height and width of the pillow. The right height allows the mother to sit comfortably, while the width contributes to providing enough space for the baby.

It can sometimes be difficult for the mother to find a comfortable sitting position during feeding. To solve this problem, the nursing pillow provides support for the mother's lap structure and helps to distribute the baby's weight evenly. This prevents the mother from getting tired during prolonged feeding sessions and prevents possible discomfort such as back pain.

Why use a nursing pillow?

Nursing pillows provide great comfort to the mother during prolonged feeding sessions. The benefits of a nursing pillow include keeping the baby's airways open and making breastfeeding safer for both parties. These pillows, which reduce the fatigue and discomfort of mothers during long breastfeeding processes, provide optimal support and enable the mother and baby to take a comfortable position. Reducing physical difficulties for mothers allows the feeding process to be more enjoyable and less stressful.

The use of a nursing pillow can help prevent posture disorders and prevent health problems in the long term. Correct posture is critical for spinal health and the nursing pillow is effective in maintaining this correct posture. Like IKEA's range of baby towels and burping cloths, IKEA's range of nursing pillows are made from safe materials, giving mums peace of mind about product safety. The covers of these pillows are usually removable and machine washable, making them easy to clean and hygienic to use.

In addition to facilitating the breastfeeding process, the nursing pillow also supports the mother's physical recovery in the new postpartum period. The pillow provides the necessary support to the mother's waist and back area, thus helping the body to return to its former form more quickly. With their modern and functional design, these pillows will be a great help in your first days with your baby. When all of these features come together, it becomes clearer why it is so important to use a baby nursing pillow. These products, which facilitate the feeding process for mothers and offer health and safety for babies, offer professional solutions to the needs of both parties.

Is a nursing pillow necessary?

Although some mothers prefer to breastfeed directly using their own arms or with standard pillows, using a nursing pillow can make this process much more comfortable and healthy. For new mums, these pillows help make the feeding process less challenging. The nursing pillow provides the necessary support for the baby's head and spine, allowing the correct position to be maintained. This improves the comfort and safety of the baby during prolonged feeding sessions.

The use of a nursing pillow also significantly improves the comfort of the mother. With the right support, lower back and back pain during breastfeeding is significantly reduced. The mother's body is less tired and physical difficulties in the feeding process are minimised. This can make the breastfeeding process more prolonged and enjoyable for the mother. The ergonomic design of the nursing pillow adapts to the mother's body structure and prevents unnecessary strain.

Using a nursing pillow can make the feeding process healthier, safer and more comfortable for mother and baby. IKEA aims to meet the needs of every family with various models of nursing pillows. Designed to suit the needs of mothers, these products minimise the difficulties in the feeding process, helping to turn this special period into a more enjoyable experience.

Another use of the nursing pillow is for mothers with twin babies. For these mothers, the pillow can be positioned to support two babies at the same time, so that each baby can be comfortably breastfed on either side of the mother. This offers a very practical solution, especially at night.

Learning how to use a nursing pillow is important for mothers who are new or struggling with baby care, because proper use helps to protect the health of both mother and baby. Nursing pillows strengthen the mother-baby bond by increasing the physical contact between baby and mother, making these special moments more comfortable and enjoyable for both parties.

What are the sizes of baby nursing pillows?

Baby nursing pillow sizes are in various sizes and shapes and offer an option suitable for all kinds of needs. Our designers, who are experts in comfortable, safe and healthy baby pillows, prepare various models for ideal sizes in these products. The dimensions are optimised according to the intended use of the nursing pillow and the comfort of the mother. While they are usually designed to fit the standard seat height, some models may have adjustable features. These features are important to adapt to different body types and sitting positions.

An ideal nursing pillow should also be assessed according to the size and weight of the baby. A large or small pillow can prevent the baby from taking the correct position during feeding, which can negatively affect the comfort of both the baby and the mother. For this reason, choosing a pillow of the right size will provide optimum support and comfort.

The height of nursing pillows usually varies between 15 and 20 centimetres, while other dimensions such as width and depth vary according to the model and design used. The dimensions are designed to maximise the baby's safety and support for the mother. The height of the pillow helps the mother to maintain the natural position of her spine while holding the baby on her lap.

The covers of nursing pillows should also be removable and washable. This allows hygiene to be maintained during long-term use of the products. The fact that the covers can be easily removed and put on provides great convenience for mothers. The covers should be made of hypoallergenic materials and should be soft enough not to irritate the sensitive skin of babies.

What should be considered when buying a baby nursing pillow?

One of the main factors to focus on when choosing a nursing pillow is the quality of the material the pillow contains. Products with hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties protect your baby's health and do not lose their form even in long-term use. IKEA offers cushions produced using fabrics that are suitable for babies' sensitive skin and free from harmful chemicals.

Another important point is that the pillow has an ergonomic design. Products designed in accordance with the baby's body structure should correctly support the baby's head, neck and spine alignment. Such pillows allow your baby to breastfeed comfortably while allowing the mother to be comfortable.

The surface and outer cover of the pillow are also important. Being easily removable and washable ensures that any dirt, bacteria or milk stains can be easily cleaned. IKEA's baby pillows come with machine-washable covers, making it possible to maintain hygiene at all times.

When buying a nursing pillow, it is important to consider different usage needs. Lighter and more portable products can be preferred for travelling. IKEA provides ideal options for use at home and outdoors with models that offer portable and practical transport solutions.

The balance between price and quality is another factor to consider when making a choice. IKEA offers affordable nursing pillow solutions without compromising on quality, offering alternatives suitable for all family budgets. All IKEA products promise long-lasting use, so you can buy once and use them safely for many years.

Thanks to the wide range of products, it is possible for everyone to find a nursing pillow with the features they need. Our products, which stand out with their ease of use, ergonomics and durability, have been tested and approved in accordance with health and safety standards. You can choose IKEA for baby products and nursing pillows with this assurance.
