Nursing Pillow
Although there are studies investigating the effects of breastfeeding pillow use on breastfeeding success, comfort, and positive outcomes for both mother and baby, no study has been found examining the effect of breastfeeding pillow use on nipple pain and maternal comfort in women who have undergone vaginal delivery.
