Benefits of technology

The invention is a breastfeeding pillow that supports a woman breastfeeding an infant while also providing support for the woman's back and neck. The pillow may have straps that connect the sides and back, and a raised portion on the laying portion for the infant's head. The pillow may also have a foam filling material to provide comfort and adjustable positioning. The technical effects of the invention include improved support and comfort for breastfeeding mothers and infants, as well as improved posture and efficiency during breastfeeding.

Problems solved by technology

Of the breastfeeding pillows that do provide back support, said support is incomplete, coming only partially up the back.
As both women and infants come in a wide variety of sizes, fixed-size breastfeeding pillows do not always fit the woman properly, and do not always lift the infant to a position where the infant's mouth comes close enough to the breast.
This makes these pillows uncomfortable or even useless in assisting breastfeeding for some women and infants.
