I had such high hopes because I know how convenient a good nursing pillow can be, but the lack of structure and support has made this one nearly unusable for me. Every body is different, so maybe it will work better for others, but for me it has been...

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/10) We like this bath, but it’s not my favorite. Both of my kids were chubby babies 🥰, so unfortunately we didn’t get a ton of use out of it. It’s a good option, but it just didn’t work as well for our family.
