Made in the USA: Blessed Nest Organic Buckwheat Nursing Pillow

blessed nest organic nursing pillowI have breastfed two children, and I never had a nursing pillow.  In fact, I was pretty much anti-baby stuff and tried to minimize the infant paraphernalia in my little cabin. No changing table, no boppy pillow, no bouncy chair, etc. entered my home, as I wanted to save money, space, and my impact on the earth for these items whose usage would be short lived.  Had I seen the organic Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow, my attitude towards nursing pillows would have been different.

The Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow is made in the USA, like many of the items available from Bambino Land.  It is 100% organic!  The washable slipcover is made from 100% organic cotton, and the inside of the pillow is filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls. What I like best about the Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow is that you can mold it to any shape you need to support your nursing baby and your body, your younger child holding your baby, propping your infant up, etc.  Unlike a Boppy, which is rigid and I could never figure out how to use properly, the Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow provides just enough flexible support. I really wish I would have had this pillow when nursing my son after his open heart surgery, instead of the four hospital pillows the nurses tried to arrange for me. 

Great Organic Pregnancy Essentials

Bamboo Belly BandAs I enter the middle of my third trimester in my third pregnancy (don’t come after me, environmentalists), I’m trying to do my best to not only take care of my baby but also myself. For me, that means seeking out organic products and remedies that actually work and make life a little easier and comfortable.

Like many people these days, my budget doesn’t afford me the option to purchase completely organic items for myself and my baby and I’m not the crafty type by any means, but there are several organic pregnancy essentials that I’ve found I just can’t live without.
