I bought this because I thought if I don't use it as a feeding pillow it will at least be good as a pregnancy pillow. I've found the opposite - it was useless as a pregnancy pillow because my knees still came together or it would slip in the wrong direction. When my baby was newborn, the pillow was not helpful for breastfeeding. But now, at about 7 weeks, it is great, because he is getting too heavy to hold in my arms and he just lays on the pillow and I can feed him without (mostly) having to hold him - I just keep an arm on the pillow to make...Read more

After fluffing around with pillows from home, I had finally sucked it up and bought a double Milk Bar. I thought the single would pretty much be like using another pillow from home. It was a very good height for me and my baby but he has now kinda of outgrown it. He became too big at 4 months. However, I still occasionally use it to prop him up. I love how it's so versatile and can be used to seat him up and to feed him. It's got a removable case for easy washing. The belt is good as it keeps it stationary but it comes loose very easily and it'...Read more

I found the milk bar useful! particularly when trying to establish breastfeeding it was good to have 2 hands available in order to get baby attached correctly.

I would recommend a breastfeeding pillow to any mother to be, and the fact that this pillow is contoured, firm but a...Read more

I actually use it more to support my arm when I am feeding than to lie the baby across it, I find regular cushions/pillows were too soft and didn't provide the necessary support. Having said that I only use it when I am feeding in the nursery chair, I use regular cushions when feeding elsewhere (on the lounge etc)
Like all feeding pillows they are not really essential for breast...Read more
