WHAT LACTATION CONSULTANTS SAY ABOUT THE BILLOW
From a Lactation Consultant opening a new practice:
I am a newly licensed lactation consultant and just opened up my own private business. I would like to have a few of the pillows. I did my training at Kaiser and loved the product as did the new mothers.

Maternal and Infant safety is ever hospitals number one concern. Our facility has successfully and safely used the Boston Billow pillow to assist mothers with breastfeeding for six years. The Boston Billow is an excellent product!

From a Lactation Consultant at one of the largest health systems in the country:
I am a health educator at Kaiser Permanente and teach baby care basics. I just had my boy on Father's Day and have had a hard time finding a comfortable adaptable pillow for nursing my baby. Then I was told about the Boston Billow and got to try one. It was GREAT. I love the Boston Billow.

From a lactation consultant at a major birthing hospital:
We have used the pillow for the last four or five years. We are striving to increase the overall breastfeeding rate. Devices that assist with and promote continued breastfeeding are invaluable. The Boston Billow has proven to be such an invaluable device.

All day, 5 days a week, I help mothers and babies figure out how to nurse. The single factor that is most helpful to moms and babies is positioning. There is no cushion on the market that matches the Boston Billow for being comfortable, easy to use and putting baby in exactly the right spot!

Mothers love using the Billow to help position baby at breast. We have sold many in the past 18 months and have never had a complaint of any kind.

The Boston Billow is the best breastfeeding support pillow I have ever used. It fits around all shapes of mothers and can be used to correctly position the baby at breast. Correct position is very important for a beneficial breastfeeding experience.
This pillow is most important for very small and weak infants.

I have been using the Boston Billow for more than 5 years to help mothers breastfeed their babies. Positioning an infant at the breast is key to an effective latch (attachment) in the early weeks. Boston Billow is the only nursing pillows I use, because I think it is safe and will adjust for mothers of different sizes and shapes.

I have used the Boston Billow nursing pillow with nursing moms who found the other pillows to be wrong size or shape for them. The Billow pillow allowed women of all sizes and shapes help in supporting their babies.

I and my moms love the Boston Billow nursing pillow as it is so much easier to "schmush" to conform to mom and her bay than some of the other pillows out there.

I have used the Boston Billow nursing pillow with clients for the last five years. No complaints or problems. Not all pillows are alike and repeatedly the clients choose the Billow Pillow. The proper support during nursing helps with success and decreases some potential problems.

This product has been invaluable in my practice as the Outpatient Lactation Consultants at my hospital. I use the BillowPillow in all my consultations, and mothers are quick to realize how it truly is different. It enables and encourages good latching technique, even in awkward situations to get the babies well-latched.
I am sure that the Billow's use by mothers facilitates effective breastfeeding, thereby being a means to truly preventive health care, and to healthier babies and mothers as a result. Your BillowPillow is a positive factor in helping me provide such care. Thank you for a GREAT product.

I would like to give my unreserved endorsement of the Boston Billow nursing pillow. This pillow is different from the Boppy in many ways. The difference is probably best illustrated by the fact that many of the mothers who use my office Billow during outpatient lactation consult will purchase one on their way out, despite the fact that they
already own a Boppy. The Billow is flexible, "mushable", enabling the mom to adjust it's thickness and firmness to best meet her needs in latching her baby well. Since effective latch is the critical foundation for effective milk transfer (and resulting supply for mom, gain for bay, and ultimate health of both), this difference should not be taken lightly.
The BillowPillow is by far the best pillow we have ever used in my hospital.

As a lactation consultant I found a pillow that was comfortable for all the mothers I worked with, no matter their shape or size. Due to the movable filling inside the Boston Billow nursing pillow, mothers are able to keep the babies at breast level by moving the filling around. Many mothers find the Boston Billow comfortable for themselves to use as a back rest or to sit on when they have a sore perineum from delivery. I work in an area that does about 1,000 deliveries a month. Many of the mothers have other nursing pillows. When they use my Boston Billow during a consult they are very pleased and usually purchase one.
I am glad there is such a great product available to mothers and babies!

I have worked with nursing mothers and babies for more than 25 years, and have seen and tried many, many "nursing pillows" in my time. The Boston Billow is my all time favorite. It helps enormously in positioning a baby comfortably at breast.
It fits women of ALL sizes and shapes, unlike most every other pillow out there.
The unique design of the Billow allows it to sit comfortably around a woman who has recently had a cesarean birth. It is truly the best nursing pillow available. Many mothers and babies have benefitted from the use of this product. Mothers love it. Lactation consultants love it. Babies thrive because of it.

About 30 % of mothers deliver by C-section these days and the Boston Billow allows moms to breastfeed with a light weight pillow that does not put pressure on her incision. The baby is fully supported and mom does not have to strain to hold the infant.
This is the most useful pillow, in fact, for all new mothers and the Boston Billow is superior to other nursing pillows in every way and I have nothing but positive feedback from moms.

I am a lactation consultant - coordinator for one of the oldest outpatient centers in existence for more than 20 years. A few years ago, our patients brought to our attention the versatility and function of the Boston Billow.
We have stocked it in our NICU now for several years and these are the ones preferred there also.
The pillow is light, washable, and adjusts easily to all sizes of babies and all sorts of mom position.
We have had other pillows (several brands) that we have tried and found different problems with. The Boston Billow is the best in our opinion and that of our patients and customers.
