My Brest Friend Nursing Stool ~ Review and Giveaway




When I was at the ABC Kids Expo I sought out My Brest Friend to personally tell them how much I LOVE their nursing pillow.

Seriously, Love - it was one of the products that made breastfeeding a little easier for me. Unlike other nursing pillows I didn't have to slouch over to get a correct latch.

While I was talking to Jessica she showed me their newest product, The Adjustable Nursing Stool! Designed to make nursing a more comfortable experience by allowing you to adjust the level of your knees. A comfortable nursing position will in turn reduce strain on your neck, shoulders, back and wrists.
Some of the unique features this little stool provide you are: (From My Brest Friend)

  • Adjustable to different angles for optimum nursing support
  • Provides comfortable positioning for breastfeeding
  • Alleviates stress on you back, shoulders and neck
  • Becomes a step stool after nursing
  • To use adjust the stool to the desired angle and turn knobs securely into place.

Unfortunately, I was right at the end of our breastfeeding career when I received the stool to review, but I can tell you it has been uses for many things since I got it.
(Which is great, bc it isn't just a product you buy for one use, and put away after!)
  • Putting my feet up while I type on my laptop.
  • Standing to get the items above the kitchen fridge that are just a little out of reach.
  • Rocking at night while Squish was sick. (It really does make rocking easier.)
  • And of course Squish thinks it is the perfect size for his little bum!
Here he is using it as a drum! He loves that it is just his size!

Seriously, my Squishy loves this stool. I imagine it will be used to access the sink in the future, as well as continue to be his little perch. I am looking forward to using it with any more children we have. Simply using it for Rocking the Squish, I can already tell how much more comfortable it will make breastfeeding.

On the Squishy Rating Scale the My Brest Friend Adjustable Nursing Stool gets a
VERY SQUISHABLE!

I learned that they're the number 1 choice among LC's! I would use the stool AS a nursing stool in front of my rocker. I have rocked the babe until my legs ached and wished I had one!

I used the Brest friend for my second son and loved it so much more than some other pillows. I had no idea that they sell vitamins and would love the stool for my next breastfeeding experience!

i could REALLY use this! my son is a very sleepy nurser so a stool to put my feet up would make me much more comfortable during our loooong nursing sessions. i also learned they're the #1 choice among lactation consultants.
