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.

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.
