Breastfeeding Products for Moms with Spinal Cord Injuries

April 15, 2011 By Karen Koch


Breastfeeding is a challenge for most mothers, but for mothers with a spinal cord injury there are many issues that need to be addressed before even beginning to worry about the suck, swallow, breath sequence consequence.

Positioning a baby for breastfeeding when postural control is compromised requires positioning supports and possibly a lap tray. Here are three of our picks, if anyone knows of other products that assist with breastfeeding, please post we need suggestions. We’re all in this together.


Leachco Natural Boost-Adjustable Nursing Pillow 

This pillow looks like it would give more support, but a lot of people say it’s pretty soft (per the reviews).

My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow
This pillow gets good reviews, but honestly I’m a little worried about the way it wraps around the back.
