<I can see how these "nursing pillows" might be at least sort of useful, if the mom used them to support her arms as they hold the baby, rather than just to plop the baby onto.> I love my nursing pillows and I make them for friends as well. I don't just lay the baby on it like a beached fish, I hold the baby is proper tummy to tummy position or in football hold. I'm very large breasted and I never have a free hand as I support my breast with my opposite hand. These pillows are very useful if used properly IMO. ~Marni LLL member *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
