Has anyone used this to support their backs for nursing?

I bought this support when I was pregnant. It was awful. I don't think it would work super well for nursing. You may be reclined too far back.

I have not used it for that purpose, but I would think it would work fine for nursing as you would be sitting straight up the same as you would be in a sofa or a park bench.

I haven't, but I wish I had had it when I had babies - I think it would have been perfect!

No. Actually to be very honest I don't know what that one is for. It's not comfortable or soothing at all. It did nothing for my very pain filled back. But several of the other attachments did work very well.

Yes. Just give it a slight turn when feeding on the other side. It still gives you the back support needed. I love it over the boppy!

I have not done it, but from the looks of it I don't see what not. One thing to note, you should not use this for heavy items as it will sag in the back. The only support is in front.

I find it to be very sturdy. It does not lean back as an office chair would but it is not meant to. Its purpose is to provide support for your back which it does very well. One of the best purchases I have ever made for my drumming and bad back.

I don't think so- it sure has helped my back. If in question- take a chance-

I do not find that it is supportive of my back. It does go lower than my waist line.

I bought this as a part of a workout program I am doing. I use it mostly for soft tissue work. But I have used it on my back. Mostly for just stretching out muscles. That said, I have noticed that it really does help with tightness in my back when I use it. As a consequence, I now use it sometimes when my back is hurting. However the exercise program I am doing is also helping strengthen my back muscles as well. Long answer but this is how it is working for me.

Yes it can. It can support the back when it placed properly behind the back. It is soft and firm enough to support the back and neck also. This pillow is great for those whose back muscles are not strong. I use it to behind my back when I want to sit up for long periods of time while I am reading my favorite book or watching TV.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

On days that my back has been particularly achy, I have turned the entire chair around and used the back as an armrest. I don't know if this is a recommended use or not. At the time I received mine, no recommended exercises were included. I received mine as a gift about 10 years ago and it is still in use and shows no sign of "wearing out" I LOVE IT. If it ever pops or falls apart, I'll order another!

I have used mine for years . and use as needed. I also use my inversion table , . they due stretch your back, but not the same way . so it may help, but it may not! That depends on what your goal is . Good Luck !

Yes fabulous back support. You place the center part behind your back and the sides buckle in front of you. Go to Twin Z website to see a video and photos

Yes, that is why I bought it. I like to have the back raised when I exercise my shoulders, arms. This somewhat duplicates one of the machines at the therapist I went to.

No, this is not meant to be used as a nursing pillow as it does not contour your body. It is meant to be used in addition to a regular boppy. A place for them to chill out while you are getting ready to nurse or right after you finish.

Sorry for the delay in answering this. Used the pillow today and yesterday it does support most of the upper back if you're not a very large adult.
