Breastfeeding is a special moment for mother and baby; in fact it is not simply a physiological need for the baby, but more importantly a bonding moment, full of emotion and new experiences for the senses. A baby finds love and reassurance when he suckles his mother’s breasts, not simply good nourishment, and this is essential for a correct psychophysical development.
It is also an opportunity for mothers to bond with their babies; a way to care for them, comfort them and give them all their love and affection. The result of this symbiosis is that babies who perceive that their mothers are relaxed and content, also grow up in a happy frame of mind.

One of the most important aspects of correct breastfeeding is to find the right position, which can be helped by using the right pillow. Read through the document prepared by Prof. G. Moro for further information.

Research studies have shown that Boppy can help a mother and baby to face breastfeeding in a much more relaxed and gratifying manner.

 

It is essential for babies to be positioned correctly when they attach onto the breasts, otherwise they may tug at the nipples and cause rhagades or irritation. Boppy has an exclusive padding which is just perfect for providing comfortable and flexible support for the baby, whilst ensuring he remains in the right position during feeding.

The Boppy pillow helps both mother and baby to find the right position during feeding which greatly helps to reduce strain on arms, shoulders and neck; mums can sit in a more upright and comfortable position and avoid leaning forward over the baby which can be tiring and painful for the back.
