Amazing as it seems, these were the choices available to new moms just 13 years ago. None of these choices stayed in place, and when Moms moved, babies often lost their feeding latch. So mothers would try to stay frozen in place for the whole feeding, which left them sore and uncomfortable.

We know because that's where we came in.

The first pillow specifically designed for breastfeeding                                                             My BrestFriend was developed in a "laboratory" of new moms, babies, and breastfeeding experts who set out to do what no one had done before: create a pillow whose sole purpose was to answer all the needs of breastfeeding moms and babies. Spearheading the effort was inventor Andrew Zenoff, a bachelor who proved that sometimes the best ideas come from those who have just enough distance from a problem to imagine solutions that have never been considered before.

First, Andrew and his team compiled a list of every complaint breastfeeding moms could think of with the existing pillows. The list ranged from lower back pain due to improper support, to poor latch-on, to babies "rolling" inward or away during the feeding due to using U-shaped pillows. This began a lengthy cycle of design and test, followed by redesign and retest until we had built over 50 prototypes in a single year. We poked, prodded, raised, lowered, tightened, loosened, shifted and adorned until, at last, we had a pillow that our mom testers loved so much, they couldn't find a single way to improve upon it. Then, and only then, did we introduce My Brest Friend to mothers everywhere.

12 years later: the pillow loved around the world Today, My BrestFriend's patented, wrap-around design has made fans in over 20 countries where it is sold, as well as being used in hundreds of NIC units and birthing hospitals. It is the #1 choice of lactation consultants, is sold by La Leche League, and consistently earns raves among nursing mothers, many of whom tell us our pillow has helped them achieve longer holding and feeding cycles with their babies. My BrestFriend has helped over 1,000,000 moms breastfeed their babies. Our stylish new prints and fabrics make My BrestFriend the perfect item to register for or give as a gift.

FAQ What is the difference between your regular and deluxe pillow? Both models have all the same supportive, patented My Brest Friend features. The deluxe model offers baby-plush soft fabric and a double-featured strap that combines Velcro for easy-on and the silent-release buckle for a quiet removal that won't wake a sleeping baby. Will your new slipcovers fit my old My Brest Friend pillow? Yes! What fabrics are used to make My Best Friend pillows? The pillow is made of a recyclable foam, covered by a removable, 100% cotton, machine-washable cover. What should I do with my pillow when I am done breastfeeding? Because of the personal nature of this product, we recommend not passing it along to other mothers. You can place your My Brest Friend pillow with your other recyclables. Some moms use My Brest Friend as a support for their own activities like sewing, etc., and some use it as a play pillow for their baby learning to sit up. What if I have a problem with my pillow or slipcover? We stand behind all our products with a one-year warranty. Please contact us and we'll do our best to take care of any problems. Can I use My Brest Friend to nurse twins? Yes! Many mothers use My Brest Friend to nurse twins. As long as the babies are small enough to fit onto the pillow, this should work well for all three of you. What are the two bumps on one side of the pillow surface? These are called feeding risers and they raise the baby's head just a bit, aiding ingestion and digestion. We incorporated this feature into our design based upon the recommendations of lactation consultants. I just gave birth and My Brest Friend doesn't seem to fit - why? Within the first week of giving birth, a woman's uterus continues to be enlarged. As your uterus begins to shrink over the course of the first week postpartum, the pillow should begin to fit more comfortably. What sizes does the pillow fit? My Brest Friend fits up to a 44-inch waist, making it a good choice for breastfeeding moms and even many bottle-feeding Dads. What is the weight limit for my baby with My Brest Friend? The pillow supports babies up to two years of age and about 20 pounds. More importantly is that you and your baby are comfortable.
