Breastfeeding Pillow: Storage

If you're an organizer like me, no doubt you wonder where is all your baby items going to go? And you might even spend time thinking about where it can go, so everything has a place to go when its not being used. Maybe the urge is coming, because you are expecting and nesting? A new mama with baby accessories galore? Or maybe a mom who is gaga for all the cute baby gadgets and couldn't resist leaving the baby aisle with one? Whatever the reason, I am sure you want to know where you can put your breastfeeding pillow if you use one. Here is a list of different nursing pillow storage solutions I have tried with mine and the potential problems I have discovered and thought of with each of them.


Nursing Chair:


On The Seat

Pros: This one might have been the obvious first pick. Just leave it in your nursing chair. This does not require you to buy anything extra and its always handy when you need it.

Cons: This works great, as long as its not a chair in a main room where you will have to play musical nursing pillow when someone else takes a seat in it.


Behind The Chair

Pros: Depending on how large your chair is, it might be able to completely conceal your pillow from view when not in use. This one does require you to buy anything extra, but might require you to need to move your nursing chair up to leave enough room to drop it behind.

Cons: If your nursing chair does do a good job concealing your pillow, you can forget its back there when you're trying to get all your nursing items in a rush. Pulling it from behind your nursing chair might be a pain. Moving your nursing chair forward a little may not be a big deal for some, but if you are particular with how your furniture lines up and appears, this may bother you or maybe a problem for you if you have limited space.



Closet:


Coat Closet in your Living Room

Pros: This does not require you to buy anything extra and can sit on top of a shelf. This might be a great option for a large nursing pillow and or someone who more than one nursing pillow. This is great, because when its not being used, its out of sight and its organized for those moms who really like things to have a specific place.

Cons: Some potential problems, the pillow might be too large for your shelf, thus hanging off of it. This could possibly lead to it falling off. Also if your pillow is too small, you might require some extra help to reach it if it goes to the back of the shelf. Having to go in your coat closet every time you nurse, might become a pain over time for some.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
