Does anyone have recommendations for twin nursing pillows? I don't know what to buy. I hear I am probably best off with the Anna or the EZ 2 Nurse. If you have used one of these and can tell me the pros and/or cons, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

hi there. i begged my mom to buy a twin nursing pillow for me when i had my boys, and i ended up using it maybe a handful of times. i had the inflatable one... can't remember what it's called. it just wasn't comfortable and it was HUGE... if i was going to nurse both babies at once (which i didn't do very often because it made me feel like a dairy bar ) i just sat up and surrounded myself with pillows from my bed. my babies got too big to use it in such a short time anyway. however, i did LOVE the boppy pillow i had. i used that all the time while nursing (still do!) but it only really works with one. hope that was helpful.

Boppy pillow all the way - my boys are under 6 lbs and the boppy pillow is the only way to keep me from curling up in a ball so they can reach I do find that feeding when not at home is impossible without the pillow right now. All 3 of us are just more comfy be it feeding single or tandem!

I used the EZ 2 Nurse, not the inflatable. I loved it! My boys are 20 mo. old now and I still use it at bedtime, although I am trying to wean now. I brougt the pillow to the hospital with me when they were born and used it right away, and it was great. I could have both hands free once they were latched on. It was one of the best investments I made as far as baby products go.

My twins are 11 months old, and since they were about 3 months, I've used the EZ 2 nurse pillow - it works great. When I used the Boppy prior to buying my EZ 2 Nurse, I had backaches all the time and was going to the chiropractor. It is large - but nursing two babies is a big deal - keep it up!!

Hi! I used a nursing pillow for twins and besides my double stroller, I just loved it. I used it in the hospital's NICU. There hardly was ever an occasion I didn't nurse both at once. It was great. It was so comfortable. And let's be honest-how easy is it to get comfy when you have two little ones to nurse. I used my boppy with my first baby and that worked great for a single baby.

I just love my EZ 2 Nurse pillow, the best thing I bought while I was PG. My girls are 12 weeks old, and I nurse them while my hand are free, and I can burp one while still feeding the other one.

Just throwing in another positive review for the EZ2 Nurse pillow...we always fed tandem, and I doubt we could have managed it so smootly without the pillow!

We even took it when we vacationed!

Best of luck to you-

My twin girls are 19 mo. old now, but when they were tiny I got the EZ 2 Nurse pillow for twins. I see all the rave reviews that this pillow has, but it wasn't that great for me. Maybe it's just me, but I just never could get situated very well with the babies and the pillow. If my husband was around to help me, then it was better. I was always afraid the babies were going to fall off, so I had blankets stacked around the pillow. And after they were a few months old, they seemed too big to fit on it anymore, even though the advertisement says it holds up to 70 lbs. I think. Maybe I'm like the other lady who said she felt like a milk dairy! I just preferred to nurse each one separately even though it took twice as long.
