Nursing pillow for relief
A nursing pillow is an ergonomically shaped pillow that provides targeted support for expectant and breastfeeding mothers. It is often used as a side sleeper pillow during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, a nursing pillow helps to position your baby at the right height and relieve pressure on the shoulders.

Use before or after the birth
A nursing pillow is often worth using from the 6th week of pregnancy as a comfortable sleeping support. After the birth , the nursing pillow makes breastfeeding easier . As a soft, stable base, the pillow supports your baby's body, making it easier for it to reach the breast and lie comfortably. At the same time, it relieves pressure on your shoulders, neck and arms. After breastfeeding, it remains versatile: as a positioning aid, gentle support or as cozy support in everyday life with baby.

What should you look out for when buying a nursing pillow?
Nursing pillows are available in different sizes: which one is right for you depends primarily on how you want to use the pillow.
Buying criteria for a nursing pillow
-
Size & shape: Should suit your body size and area of use. A longer nursing pillow is particularly suitable as a side sleeper pillow during pregnancy, while more compact models often offer advantages when breastfeeding (easier to handle, quicker to place).
-
Filling material: Crucial for comfort and stability. Most pregnancy pillows are filled with EPS beads. These are dimensionally stable, adaptable, lightweight, quiet and usually washable.
-
Cover & care: A removable and washable cover is particularly important in everyday baby life so that the nursing pillow remains hygienically clean.
-
Material & skin feel: High-quality, pollutant-tested, soft materials ensure a pleasant and supportive sleeping and breastfeeding climate, especially for sensitive baby skin.

Frequently asked questions
Midwives recommend nursing pillows that bring mother and baby into an ergonomically optimal breastfeeding position. It is important that the baby is at breast height so that the mother's shoulders and back remain relaxed while breastfeeding. Particularly recommended are pillows that:
- provide stable support and are not too soft
- adaptable, for example, through flexible, elastic fillings
- washable, tested for harmful substances covers possess
- pleasantly large so that they can accompany pregnancy, breastfeeding, and later as a support pillow
In short:
- Ideal as a sleeping aid from the 2nd trimester onwards
- Perfect for breastfeeding after the birth and for the first few months with your baby
To ensure that the baby's tummy is well supported, the nursing pillow should be adjusted to the tummy and the ends should be pushed under the head and between the legs. The Träumeland breastfeeding pillow is particularly stable, which relieves pressure on the back.
Mini tip: If you use it as a side sleeper pillow, it should provide stable support, but not be so high that your knees or shoulders are "weird".
The right filling depends on how you want to use the nursing pillow. Each variant has special advantages:
- EPS microbeads- Very adaptable and shape-retaining. They reliably support the belly, back, and baby – ideal for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Additionally, they are lightweight and ensure good air circulation.
- Polyester hollow fibre- Extra soft and cuddly. This filling is easy to care for and offers pleasant lying comfort – especially when the nursing pillow is also used as a side sleeper pillow.
Yes, many parents use it as a nest, positioning cushion or as support when learning to sit. A nursing pillow can comfortably surround your baby during the day - for example when playing or cuddling - as long as you supervise them at all times. It provides a feeling of security and prevents the baby from rolling to one side.
