First of all you do not need to just be nursing to use this! My initial purpose for This pillow was to just breast feed but I’ve needed to supplement with formula due to lack of milk and I have to say this pillow is absolutely fantastic!!! It allows me to have her close which she demands like 24/7 lol but allows me to have freedom to move my arms and do other things when necessary. I don’t just use this just for feeding I use it for cuddle time (as pictured) so she can nest close to me without putting too much pressure on my back and arms. Rocking and swinging side to side is also a breeze on this I would 100% recommend this regardless if you are nursing or not. 👍
