  • I don't see a difference in a nursing pillow and a normal V-pillow. I bought a cheap V-pillow from Argos and drape it with a towel. (my lo was a very messy eater) It did what it had to do with no problems and was very comfy. Could not justify spending about 30 pounds on something I could get for 6.
  • I just got a boots inflatable one- ??10. It seems quite good and holds LO higher up than a normal V pillow as it's firmer, also handy for travel as can obv. deflate it!x

    I bought that one as well, but it did not work for me. Lo has to be lower with me so just packed the inflatable away for the moment.
  • I had this one from Mothercare:
    http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Multi-purpose-support-pillow/dp/B000TLUG4U/sr=1-3/qid=1253219809/ref=sr_1_3/279-8228893-0277561?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=79275031&mcb=core

    and would NOT recommend it! I thought I didn't need one and would just use normal pillows, but sent my mum out for this when lo was a few days old as I felt I wanted something shaped - I found this one very flat though, and always had to lay it on top of a normal pillow or cushion anyway! I will definitley be getting a new one for next time - like the look of the 'widgey' ones but will be asking for recommendations! I think it's worth spending ??30 for something good rather than ??20 for something rubbish!
  • Ive got the mothercare one and it works for me. I have very large boobs, and the firmer ones are too high for me. The mothercare one is a bit flatter which for me works,a s the firmer ones lift her too high!
  • Pom has a point, I have tiny boobs so needed something to lift him a bit higher and I found the mothercare one too flat.
  • thanks for the advice girls, had better get my skates on, baby is due on sunday!!! x
