This pillow has, without a doubt, been one of the main reasons I've been able to exclusively breastfeed by darling twin girls for the past 4 months! (That combined with a lot of stubborn determination from myself, support and encouragement from my husband and many many slices of Nutella on toast!)
When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I was adamant that I was going to crack the breastfeeding and so researched various holds and techniques and learned that getting the babies to the correct height that is comfortable for your back is important to a good latch and spent some time perusing the internet for a pillow of some kind that would enable me to achieve the right position as I knew that I would be spending many hours there. That was when I discovered the Peanut and Piglet pillow.

When it arrived, me and my husband both "had a go" with the pillow and we were instantly impressed with its comfortable shape and the fact that you still have both hands available! Good for handling the babies, yes. But also useful for pointing the remote at the TV or shovelling copious amounts of cake into your mouth!
I took it with me into hospital when I had them and from day one we have mastered the art. Biggest achievement of my life - breastfeeding these twins. So thank you.
