Review: Theraline Wynnie Nursing Pillow

AD

 I recently had my third baby and as you can imagine my house is full to the brim with baby paraphernalia. But one baby item that I had never tried out before was a nursing pillow. As any parent to a baby will tell you even though babies are tiny they do start to feel rather heavy, your arms begin to ache when you are feeding them.

When Jacob was born I was very kindly offered the chance to try out a Theraline Wynnie nursing pillow . Theraline is a company who specialise in maternity and nursing pillow's, but they also sell other products such as baby pillow's - to help prevent flat head syndrome, neck pillows, for children to use on car journeys and maternity products.

Theraline Wynnie Nursing Pillow

We received a Wynnie baby feeding pillow in pale yellow, which is a lovely neutral colour that will work well for either a boy or a girl. You can also get it in different colours and patterns, I recently noticed that Theraline have brought out some really lovely new covers. The pillow is shaped like a crescent and is designed to fit around mums waist and to support baby comfortably whilst feeding. The cover is removable and washable which is perfect as we all know how sickly newborn babies can be.

So what did I think? 

The first thing that I noticed when we received the Wynnie pillow was just how soft the cover was, it is a really nice super soft material. I also had a good squidge of the pillow and it is nice and firm but also really squidgy and not hard. When you place baby on the pillow they look really well supported and comfortable.

Even though Jacob is a bottle fed baby I am still using the Wynnie pillow to feed him, as he is such a chunky baby and using the pillow stops my arms aching. The pillow is nice and comfortable for both of us and defiantly so much better then using the cushions on the sofa. 

This pillow has little features to it that I really like, such as you can remove and wash the cover easily. I also believe that you can buy additional covers for the pillow which would be perfect for having a spare when your cover is in the wash. Another thing I like is that the zip for the cover is on the bottom of the pillow and it is hidden away, so that it does not dig in or catch on parent or baby. 

The cover has remained super soft even after weeks of use and being washed in the washing machine. The pillow has retained its shape and firmness very well, it looks and feels exactly the same as when we first received it and we have been using it daily. 

Another great thing is that not only can it be used as a feeding pillow but also as a support for when the baby is a little bit older and is trying to sit up, it is the perfect shape and size to help stop them toppling over and help them gain there balance. My 16-month-old daughter is always pinching this and sitting on it to watch the TV. I think that we will be getting plenty of use out of the Wynnie and it will last us well past these early newborn weeks.

Nice and comfy for mum & baby

Good Point's

• Suitable for breast and bottle feeding

• Lovely, super-soft cover

• Removable,, washable and changeable covers

• Firm and comfy and perfect for supporting babies

• Can be used as a support for when baby is older to help them sit up safely. 

My Verdict

Would I recommend this product to others? Yes, I would do as it is great for breast and bottle feeding, it is nice and comfortable for mums and babies and you can also use it as a support aid to help baby learn to sit up.

I would give the Wynnie pillow a 9/10

You can buy the Theraline Wynnie pillow and all the other Theraline products on line from www.theraline.co.uk so why not go and have a look at the products they sell. I have heard that the maternity pillows are rather amazing. The Wynnie pillow we were sent is priced at £23.95 which I think is really good value for such a good quality and useful product.
