[blparent] Suggestions about products helpful when baby arrives (nursing pillows)

[Angie Matney]

Jo Elizabeth,

Agreed, that can require some dexterity. Usually I put the pillow on
before I pick him up.

Bridgit (or anyone else), if you have a chance to at least look at
these pillows, you definitely should. If there is a Buy Buy Baby
anywhere near you, I highly recommend going there to check things out.
We made a special trip to the DC area for this purpose, and even
though I was mighty pregnant at the time, it was well worth it. We got
to check out lots of items we were considering. (If you can do this by
a means other than Greyhound and when you are not seven months
pregnant, it will probably be an even better experience for you than
it was for me.)
