My Brest Friend Original Nursing Pillow vs Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Nursing Pillows: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The My Brest Friend Original is the most supportive, most stable pillow here: firm, flat, and strapped so it stays put. The Ergobaby Natural Curve is the premium runner-up, trading the full wrap for a firm contour that guides the latch and packs down small.
My Brest Friend Original Nursing Pillow
Buy itThe firm, flat, wrap-around pillow that keeps baby at breast height without you hunching.
- Firm, flat foam top means baby doesn't sink - the single biggest factor for latch and your posture
- Adjustable straps wrap around your waist to help it stay put during a feed
- Built-in back support, and the maker lists a waist range of 28 to 44 inches
- Removable slipcover plus a handy pocket for a phone or burp cloth
- The rigid wrap is bulky to store and haul around
- The flat, structured shape is less cozy for lounging or floor propping
Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow
Buy itA firm, contoured foam wedge that rolls baby into an easy tummy-to-tummy latch.
- Thick, firm foam keeps its shape through long sessions instead of compressing
- Curved contour positions baby tummy-to-tummy and reduces rolling away
- Adjustable stay-put strap keeps it from sliding; two sides for different heights
- Compact with a carry handle, and a removable machine-washable cover
- Premium price for a smaller pillow that doesn't wrap all the way around you
- Some find the firm foam and fixed contour less comfortable than a plush wrap
