Using the Adjustable Breastfeeding Pillow is simple and intuitive. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Position the Pillow:
Place the pillow around your waist, with the curved side snugly fitting your body. Ensure it's positioned comfortably, allowing your baby to rest securely.
2. Adjust the Elevation:
Add or remove layers to achieve the desired height. Use the Velcro straps or snap buttons to secure each layer in place. Start with a lower elevation and adjust as needed for optimal comfort.
3. Prepare for Feeding:
Once the pillow is adjusted to the right height, sit in a comfortable chair with good back support. Make sure your feet are flat on the floor or use a footstool to maintain a comfortable posture.
4. Place Your Baby:
Gently place your baby on the pillow, aligning their head and body to facilitate a proper latch. The pillow should support your baby's head and neck while keeping their body aligned with your breast.
5. Begin Breastfeeding:
Hold your baby in a comfortable breastfeeding position, such as cradle hold, football hold, or cross-cradle hold. The pillow will help support your arms and your baby's weight, reducing strain and fatigue.
6. Adjust as Needed:
If you need to adjust the height or position during feeding, do so gently to maintain your baby's comfort and latch. The adjustable layers make it easy to find the perfect angle.
7. Post-Feeding Use:
After feeding, the pillow can be used for other purposes such as tummy time, propping your baby up, or providing support while they learn to sit.
8. Cleaning and Maintenance:
The pillow cover is removable and machine-washable. Follow the care instructions to keep it clean and hygienic for both you and your baby.
By following these steps, you can make the most of your Adjustable Breastfeeding Pillow, ensuring a comfortable and supportive feeding experience.
