My Brest Friend Pillows make vinyl breastfeeding pillows which can be wiped between uses. Great for hospitals, home visits, support groups, and clinics.

I forgot to sign my message .
 I am a first time poster looking to the expertise and experience of the group. I have have been asked to consider the potential infection risk of using the cloth breastfeeding pillows provided in our community breastfeeding support groups.  We have traditionally advised mothers who use these cloth pillows to cover them with waterproof pads that we provide or with their own receiving blankets; is this approach reasonable? This is being viewed by some from an infection control aspect considering breast milk as a body fluid.  I have searched the literature and the Lactnet archives and have not found anything on this topic.  There seems to be an appetite to move to vinyl pillows.  I would appreciate any feedback.
