The nursing pillow is a firm foam wedge with feeding surfaces covered in softer, cushioning foam. The pillow itself supports baby and is angled to encourage proper elevation of baby's head necessary for good digestion and proper alignment of baby's mouth and mother's nipple. The outer layer of cushioning foam supports and cradles the baby while reducing the amount of effort required by the mother. The pillow has two covers: one waterproof inner cover and one removable, washable outer cover with a carrying handle.
