EZ to Nurse Pillow for twins

Hi ladies,

For those of you who breastfed your twins or are still breastfeeding, did you use the EZ to nurse pillow? If so, was it inflatable or foam?

Were you happy with the pillow?
If not why?

If you did not use the pillow what did you use instead?

Thank you!
Denise

 

Hi. I have the foam one and really like it. I don't use it as much anymore...maybe 2-3x/week...but I'm still glad to have it for the times when they're both really hungry at the same time. I used it a lot more when they were younger b/f we got into a good feeding routine. It really is the easiest way for me to feed them together although sometimes I make propping with pillows work. Overall I've been happy with it...my only complaint is that it is a bit cumbersome & takes a little time to get everything set up just right, but so does any other way I've tried to feed them at the same time.

 

I can tell you that we sell both here at Twinstuff (http://www.twinstuff.com/store/catalog ) and without a doubt both are among the most popular items in our store and have been for years. I used to think we sold about equally but actually now see that we sell more foams than inflatables. The blue foams are out of stock for the next month or so, but there's a new Twin Prints style that's pretty popular. Inflatables are a little less expensive and quicker to ship. Foams are a little larger although both are large and great items. I usually tell people they can't go wrong with either, but if you're looking for portability go with the inflatable and if you're looking for slightly better quality, try the foam.

 

I use the foam pillow and LOVE it. we didn't get it until about 2.5 months along, and after the first time we used it, i was in HEAVEN!!! it made things SOOOO Much easier! i am glad you are planning ahead. it will truly be one of the best things you buy.

 

Foam was better -- and I tried both.

 

I love my foam pillow - I was so excited to get it in pink

FOAM!!! I would only get the inflatable if you think you'll be traveling a LOT! Jackie (JicJac) reviewed the EZ 2 Nurse pillow here. I really liked mine and found it indispensable for the first few months.

 

I bought a foam one - but I only used it once. I used to feed the girls in the nursery and the EZ2 nurse didn't fit in the chair. I also never fed them both at the same time. I just used a boppy.

 

Yes, the foam is awesome! YOu do have to use a couch to nurse on though!

 

I have the foam one and love it! I still use it and they are 11 months. Getting a little trickier but still doable.

Actually if you put a pillow upright behind your back against the head board of the bed it is also very easy to nurse in bed as well. This is where I nurse them now as it's the only room they don't find a million distractions (only half a million!)
Best money you can spend if you are planning on BF. Get it before they are born and take it to the hospital with you! It's way easier to use than a bunch of pillows and makes starting out a bit less stressful - your not chasing pillows and babies all over the place.

 

I use my foam one 6-8 times a day
