Welcoming a new baby into the world is a magical moment — but it also comes with long nights, aching backs, and endless feeding sessions. The Dreamgenii® Feeding Pillow is designed to make feeding more comfortable for both baby and parent — but its usefulness doesn’t stop there. Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or looking for extra support during postpartum recovery, this clever multi-use pillow is your new must-have.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through how to use your Feeding Pillow for feeding and beyond — plus a few unexpected ways parents are getting the most out of it.
Why the Right Feeding Pillow Matters
Feeding is one of the most intimate and frequent parts of newborn care — so comfort and proper support are essential. Our Feeding Pillow helps:
- Maintain better posture during feeds
- Reduce neck, shoulder, and back strain
- Elevate baby to an ideal height for latching or bottle feeding
- Support bonding time with a calm and cosy setup
How to use our feeding pillow for breastfeeding
Step 1: Get Comfortable
Sit in a supported chair or bed with your back upright and feet flat on the ground. Place the feeding pillow around your waist.
Step 2: Position Baby
Lay your baby across the pillow in a classic cradle or cross-cradle hold. The pillow raises baby to breast level, reducing the need to hunch or strain.
Step 3: Relax and Feed
Let the pillow take the weight of your baby so your arms can rest. This encourages a longer, more comfortable feed for you both.
How to use our feeding pillow for bottle feeding
Even if you’re not breastfeeding, our feeding pillow offers brilliant support for bottle feeding too.
- Sit comfortably with the pillow around your waist
- Hold your baby in a semi-upright position across the pillow
- Use one arm to support your baby and the other to hold the bottle
👉 Tip: This setup is especially handy for partners, grandparents, or older siblings who want to help feed the baby.
Beyond Feeding: 5 Unexpected Ways to Use Your Feeding Pillow
The Dreamgenii isn’t just a feeding tool — it’s an investment, a nursery essential with versatile, long-term uses:
1. Tummy Time Support
Prop your baby on their tummy over the pillow (always under supervision) to help strengthen neck and shoulder muscles during tummy time. It makes those first wobbly attempts at lifting their head much more manageable.
2. Sibling Bonding Pillow
Let older siblings safely cuddle or “hold” the baby while the pillow provides support. It creates a special, safe bonding moment — with a few cute photos to match!
3. Pregnancy Support After Birth
Even after baby arrives, the Dreamgenii Feeding Pillow can still help mums recover. Use it to support your lower back while sitting or under knees for elevation and leg relief.
4. Postpartum C-Section Recovery Support
If you’ve had a C-section, placing the pillow gently across your lap can protect your incision during feeding. It gives a buffer between your baby and your tummy, allowing healing to happen in comfort.
5. A Travel Pillow for Baby (or You!)
On car trips, flights, or even quick visits to family, bring the Dreamgenii along as a travel-friendly support pillow. Use it for naps, feeds, or back support in unfamiliar chairs.
Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or just need a little extra support during those early days, the Dreamgenii® Feeding Pillow is designed to support you as much as your baby. And the best part? It grows with your family — becoming a staple far beyond the newborn stage.
