A quality nursing pillow is a critical tool for preventing aches and strains on your body, establishing a good latch, and providing a comfortable position for your baby.

With tie-around design and adjustable firmness, the bbhugme Nursing Pillow can help you and your baby achieve success in your feeding journey.

How to assemble your Nursing Pillow

1. Unpack the pillow from the storage bag. The Nursing Pillow consists of three parts: an inner pillow, a cover and two Pebbles.

2. Pull the cover over the inner pillow, leaving extra fabric at each end.

3. Secure each end with the Pebbles by threading the extra fabric through each Pebble and pushing them toward the center of the pillow.

4. Slide the Pebbles in or out to adjust the firmness of the pillow. For more firmness, tighten the Pebbles. If you want less volume and firmness, loosen the Pebbles.

Adjusting your pillow for use

One feature that makes the bbhugme Nursing Pillow unique is its versatility. While most Nursing Pillows have a static “one size fits all” shape, ours offers adjustable firmness and a tie-around design. This allows you to adjust and adapt the pillow to your body and your baby’s needs.

Start by wrapping the pillow around your waist, and tie the fabric ends in a secure knot. Sit down and place your baby on the pillow, ensuring that they are securely situated.
If you find the pillow to be too firm or too soft, untie it and adjust the firmness by sliding the Pebbles.
If needed, you can adjust the height of the pillow by moving it up or down on your body and securing it again with the ties. If you’re breastfeeding, this adjustability allows you to find the perfect height and position to secure a good latch, which is critical to successful breastfeeding.
As your baby grows, you can continue to adjust the height, shape, and firmness of your pillow to meet both of your needs.

Safety guidelines

To prevent serious injury or death:

The Nursing Pillow is for adult use only. It is designed to use as support during breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Never leave your baby alone with the Nursing Pillow. Supervision is required by an awake, alert adult.

Never let a baby or child sleep on or with the Nursing Pillow, as this creates a risk for suffocation. If your baby falls asleep while nursing/feeding, or you feel you might fall asleep, move your baby to a safe sleep space.

The Nursing Pillow is not meant for co-sleeping or bed sharing, and it is not a sleep positioner. The Nursing Pillow should never be left in a crib, bassinet, or other infant sleep area.

Do not use the Nursing Pillow while standing, as this could create a fall risk for your baby.

Never hold your baby face down in the Nursing Pillow. When using the Nursing Pillow, always ensure that the baby’s head is positioned on the pillow so that their face is visible and their airway is open.

Never let your child unzip the inner pillow. The microbeads inside the inner pillow are nontoxic and non-allergenic, but they can be a choking hazard.

How to care for your bbhugme Nursing Pillow

Inner Pillow: The inner pillow should never be washed in the washing machine. If needed, you can spot-clean it with a damp towel.

Outer Cover: The outer cover is machine washable (104°F/40°C). Hang to dry (do not tumble dry). Since feedings can be messy, you should also consider buying an extra cover to help with frequent washings.

Pebbles: The Pebbles can be washed in the dishwasher or hand washed with warm water.

Use the included travel bag for storing your pillow or transporting it when you’re feeding on-the-go.

We hope your bbhugme Nursing Pillow brings you and your baby comfort and support. For any questions related to the use or care of your product, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
