I have nmbeen to the physio recently for many aches and pains related to breastfeeding. I am VERY double jointed / flexible, so staying in one position is really difficult without excellent support. I have been using a combination of normal pillows up till now, but feel I should invest in a proper support tailored to breastfeeding. Does anyone have any suggestions for ones to buy in the UK? Would really appreciate your thoughts!

I use a g shape pregnancy pillow and it can be sat up in bed etc to create comfort while sitting and lying down. With my first, breastfeeding and latch was much better when I didn't use a pillow at all as it impacted the position baby was in. The g shape has options to put parts over or under your legs though so it might be helpful for you. The breastfeeding specific one I had last time though was rubbish and as soon as the lactation consultant removed it breastfeeding was much easier

I just got one from Mama's and Papas. Saved my back and shoulders. Still using it now and she's 7.5 months. But I manly use it when I am feeding her in bed now x
