What to consider when buying a twin breastfeeding pillow
An excellent twin feeding cushion should have the following qualities:
It needs to be big enough for two growing babies and for you. A v-shaped pillow with wide ‘sides’ or a W-shaped twin specific cushion are both perfect options.
Make sure it comes with a removable, washable cover. If it doesn’t, make sure you can buy or make one. Leaking breastmilk, spilt formula, nappy explosions and frequent spit ups will mean your breast feeding cushion will need a ridiculous amount of washing.
Ensure the fabric is soft, smooth and suitable for delicate baby and boob skin. Brushed 100% cotton would be perfect.
Think about the level of support you and the babies will need. Breast feeding pillows with anti-sag filling and back support are vital. You need to be comfy so that you can concentrate on enjoying real moments of serenity with your little ones.
Accessories you might need when feeding twins
Feeding twins is time intensive, especially when they are tiny. We’ve picked out a few useful products that will make you life easier.
Breast feeding pillow cover
It’s a good idea to buy an extra cover for your pillow. Most products will come with a removable, machine washable cover which is great. However, an extra cover will be a life saver if you need to feed while the cover is washing and drying.
Gentle washing powder/liquid
‘Bambino Mio’ Mio Care
You and your babies will be spending a lot of time snuggling up together on your new pillow. It’s important that delicate, sensitive skin is protected so purchasing some delicate washing powder is a wise decision. ‘Bambino Mio’ Mio Care detergent is enzyme free, dye free and perfume free. It is bio-degradable, 100% natural, vegan and cruelty free.

Breast feeding cover up
Cheeky Chompers Multimuslin
An organic cotton, breathable cover up for when you’re breastfeeding on your twin pillow. There’s no need to be shy or embarrassed about feeding your babies. It’s a natural and beautiful thing. But if you have guests who may be a little more sensitive then this is a great product. The fabric is super-soft, and it has a cute, neutral design. It can also be used as a blanket, comforter, pram cover, swaddle wrap and teething blanket.
A nursing pillow is a great accessory to avoid back pains wether you chose to breastfeed or bottle feed. It’s even more important when you have to do the job twice.
