- My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow
A smart pun that makes them stand out, My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow is an innovatively designed wrap-around pillow with adjustable straps that gives the mother proper and stable back support during breastfeeding.

With this pillow, you can easily remove the covers to give it a good wash, ensuring the pillow stays clean and the sponge and shape of the pillow is not compromised. You can purchase one of the 9 designs that they have on both Shopee and Mothercare Malaysia
