Embodiment Construction

[0006]This invention combines the “C” shape into a wedge form. It has a firm foam core, with a small layer of memory foam on both sides. The “C” shape of this pillow is designed to fit securely around the waist of the nursing mother, or another person that is bottle feeding an infant. The wedge shape of the pillow keeps the baby nursing at an incline to prevent acid reflux. The firmness of the foam keeps the pillow at the proper height, without sinking down, so that the nursing mother may keep proper posture. The memory foam layer allows the baby, and the mother's arms, to nestle into the pillow to provide a feeling of comfort and security. The wedge is designed to flip from side to side so that the nursing mother may evenly utilize both breasts for feeding. The height of the highest side of the pillow allows baby to nurse at breast level. This height, coupled with the firmness of the foam, helps to prevent the back pain associated with having to slouch while nursing. The sides of t...
