In February 1994, after having some issues breastfeeding her third child, Nancy came up with a notion that she could design, and make a C-shaped pillow to assist mothers in feeding their infants. After a few prototypes Nancy came up with the Cozy Cuddles Nursing Pillow and sold her first pillows in March 1994 to friends in Scarborough, ON. Now 30 years and nearly 33,000 pillows later, that same design has been sold throughout Ontario, North America, and even into Hong Kong!
Congratulations on 30 years of helping nursing mothers around the world nurture their newborns!!

If you’re using the cradle hold, position the part of your Cozy Cuddles Nursing Pillow that is supporting his head on top of the arm of your chair and tuck the other end under the arm under the chair arm, so his head is elevated. You can also nurse in the laid back position, supporting your head and shoulders with your Cozy Cuddles pillow and positioning your baby on your chest elevates his head so that gravity will help him. Also, don’t lay the baby down for 30 minutes after feeding – propping using your Cozy Cuddles Nursing Pillow can be helpful.
