Dear  Friends:
I am sure that most mothers I work with have enough  pillows and cushions
in their beds and sofas to support any baby. Again,  note the reliance on
product...
Yes, NIkki! I see so often that breastfeeding is made difficult by all  sorts
of *things* that are said to be a must for breastfeeding. All that is  needed
to breastfeed are a willing baby and a willing mom with at least 1  working
breast. Only in situations that are out of the normal (that is  biologically
normal) scope of lactation things may be needed in order to replace  what is
missed.
I really fear that, besides the formula-business, medicalisation of
breastfeeding is the biggest enemy of the return of the normalness of  breastfeeding.
Using special-made breastfeeding pillows and other gadgets is  part of this.
