Nursing Pillow for Twins

Hello! Just wondering if any of you moms to twins out there can give me a little advice. I've gotten both a boppy and "My breast friend" pillow from friends of mine... However I keep seeing that the EZ 2 Nurse Twins pillow is better for twins and tandem breast feeding.

I'd rather not buy the Ez 2 Nurse pillow if one of the other pillows I received will work just as easily. They don't look all that much different from the twin pillow.

Any suggestions?

 

I had a really hard time nursing even just one with the Boppy. I don't know if it was b/c my boys were so small or what. Outnumbered (a member on here who isn't on very much) used the EZ one for over a year. She did tandem feeding all the time. It was big, but she loved it. I loved my Boppy's for bottle feeding later on though, so I'm not sure you should get rid of that one quite yet! It was also great for tummy time where the boys could still see stuff.

 

the only the that worked for me and tandem feeding was the EZ2nurse pillow, the first month when they were really little, I had to prop them up a bit and put blanket underneith their heads so they would reach my boobs, or I put pillows underneith the pillow, on my legs, to get pillow to sit a bit higher....
it worked for me until babies were 4 months old, then they just started to end feedings or burp at different times and wiggle, so I had to stop that. I continued to do one on one BF, the boppy pillow only worked once babies were bigger. we do love them now!!! the kids would lay on the floor with head on pillow and drink their own bottle!

If you're going to do tandem I'd definitely go with the EZ 2 Nurse Twin pillow. I tried with a boppy once for the heck of it and I couldn't do it. I love my pillow and I couldn't imagine not being able to tandem. In person the twin pillow is huge!! One big advantage I've found is you can bf hands free with the pillow so you can eat / get on laptop / read, etc... I love that aspect.

 

EZ 2 Nurse gets my vote too....I loved it! We just use the couch pillows or sit next to mommy to nurse now.....but in the beginning, you can't put a price on it!

GOod luck! We are here for you!

 

it is worth EVERY penny! I wouldn't have been able to nurse tandem for this long without it. In the beginning I tried to use two bobby's or something, and it was so much trouble! The EZ 2 Nurse Twin pillow is the way to go!!!

 

Okay I'm sold! Going to buy the EZ 2 Nurse Pillow... Wish they had it on BabysRus so i could register for it...

 

EZ nurse was the only way I could do it. It was very difficult in the beginning because they were so small and floppy but I was hard anyway. It gets better. Definately go w/ EZ pillow.

 

I also found the ez2 pillow essential & 2 boppies - boppies not for nursing, but many other things!

 

im an ez 2 fan as well! but remember to get the foam and not the inflatable.

 

Definitely a must.
