Highly Supportive Breastfeeding Cushion for Nursing Twins or One Baby
A highly supportive breastfeeding cushion for mums nursing 1 baby or twins! Our cushion is highly supportive for mother and child making feeding comfortable and practical.
Our breastfeeding pillow was created to support both mother and child when nursing. The breastfeeding position when nursing is essential, our pillow is perfect for mums with back ache, caesarean section pain, twin mums or any mum struggling to achieve the perfect latch.
It comprises of two parts:
-
The U shaped cushion for babies to lie on. It has supports at the rear to keep the cushion horizontal and keep your baby in place (with a little cuddle).
-
The back support sits you comfortably in an upright position. You will find that this is an essential part of tandem feeding twins or nursing a single baby. The back support also enables your piglets to grow. At about 5 months, it can be turned sideways. This will create support whilst sitting you forward and ensuring your babies are not kicking the sofa back.
Our pillow is made from 100% brushed cotton. It is very soft and comfortable for both mum and babies. It is machine washable and spare covers can also be purchased to ensure your pillow is never out of action.
Breastfeeding twin mums will find that the pillow supports their babies in the perfect latch position. However, our nursing pillow can also be used to bottle feed babies when required.
Breastfeeding twins in tandem
- The Piglet Nursing Pillow is perfect for breastfeeding twins. It has been designed to enable the best breastfeeding position possible; for both mother and babies.

- The back support enables you to be supported lean back without disturbing your Piglets feed.

How do you breastfeed twins?
Feeding newborn twins is not easy, but it is possible with our cushion, some patience and by not putting pressure on yourself. Remember that fed is best.
- Gather all items required. Water, nipple cream, IPad, biscuits...
- Place your Piglets on opposite sides of the sofa / bed (not too near the edge!).
- Place the back support in position.
- Sit down & get comfortable, leaning against the back support. Bottom right up against the base so you are sitting up straight.
- Place the U shaped cushion closely around you. If you are lucky enough to have a small tummy, turn the back support side ways so that you are leaning on the skinny edge, this will close the gap.
- Now you are set. Pick up and load on your first Piglet into the rugby ball position. This is where the babies feet point towards the sofa back (please see image). Get baby one latched on and drinking. The Piglet Pillow is very stable and so said Piglet won't wobble off easliy.
- Next, pick up Piglet two and get him settled and latched. If Piglet one becomes unlatched during the process, then continue with Piglet 2 and get him settled. Once Piglet 2 is latched then go back and re latch your first Piglet.
- You are now all in place, cuddled, comfortable and tandem breastfeeding.
