Breastfeeding is a most important phase in the life of every mother and baby: for mother and baby it is in fact an important bonding moment, full of emotion, that conveys a sense of peace and tranquillity to both of them.
It is essential to choose the right position when breastfeeding. Whilst there is no ideal position when nursing, (as every mother uses the one she finds most comfortable for her and her baby), it is essential that the baby constantly remains at the right height.
Scientific research studies have in fact confirmed that maintaining a correct posture whilst feeding greatly reduces the risk of rhagades or irritation from forming on the breasts.
The Boppy infant pillow gives mum the correct amount of support while breastfeeding, whatever her position; it helps her find a comfortable pose, with her back upright which reduces tension in the arms, neck and shoulders. This will prevent fatigue and aching muscles, whatever position she chooses.
Boppy provides the baby with the correct amount of support, helping him to maintain a comfortable and natural position whilst sucking. A natural position is essential for relaxing and peaceful breastfeeding, and it greatly reduces the risk of the baby swallowing too much air and regurgitating his feed.
Boppy adapts to the psycho- motor development of a baby, accompanying him as he progresses.
