There are a multitude of different baby pillows on the market today. They all have some unique function, and I actually think some of them are legitimate! There are pillows for all different things, including nursing, sleeping, and riding in the car.
I really like the pillows for the bassinette which are positioned on both side of the baby while they sleep. They positioning the baby so that they are flat on their back, which is the recommended sleep position. These are great baby pillows, but there is a new version that I think is even better. These newer versions include memory foam which will cradle the babys head and really mold to the babys unique shape, rather than making the babys soft mold to the pillow. The memory foam will help to prevent a flat area from forming on babys head. This pillow will also help baby to have a peaceful night of sleep because they will not be able to roll around... they are positioned in one way all night.
An additional type of baby pillow that is on the market today is known as a nursing pillow. These pillows are crescent shaping and come in handy for all sorts of things...not just nursing. While they are a great convenience to the nursing mom, they can also be great for supporting baby and looking at books, feeding with a bottle, or even for extra support when a sibling is holding them. I have found that these pillows have a multitude of uses and should be on every moms wish list, whether they are nursing or not.
Car pillows are great to support babys head while riding in a car seat. They are great for the baby to lean their head on for extra support, especially because they will most likely fall asleep. I like the fact that they keep babys head away from the plastic on the car seat. Most car seats come with a pillow, but I prefer to purchase a separate one. The ones included with the seat just are not quite as cushy as one that you can pick out yourself.
Baby pillows are great for so many uses. They can be used for many tasks, from support when feeding to riding in the car. Some of them are a bit pricy, but they are worth every penny, especially if you buy them for your first baby and use them several times thereafter.
