Nursing Pillows Australia - Breastfeeding Support Pillows for Mum and Baby
A good nursing pillow is one of the most-used items in those early newborn weeks and months. At Peekaboo Baby, our range of nursing and breastfeeding support pillows helps position your baby at the right height and angle for comfortable feeding - reducing strain on your back, neck, shoulders and arms during those frequent sessions. Browse alongside our nursing covers, nursing bras and nursing tops for a complete breastfeeding setup. Our breastfeeding category covers everything you need to feed with confidence.
Nursing pillows are not just for breastfeeding - they are equally helpful for bottle feeding and, later in infancy, for tummy time and supported sitting. The C-shaped or wrap-around designs cradle your baby securely while wrapping around your waist, keeping your arms relaxed even during longer feeds. Look for washable covers made from breathable fabric to keep things hygienic and comfortable for both of you. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in a nursing pillow
- Firm, supportive fill - the pillow should hold its shape during a full feed rather than flattening out under baby's weight
- Wrap-around fit - a C-shape or crescent design that wraps around your body keeps baby close and reduces reaching
- Removable, washable cover - feeding is messy, so a cover you can strip off and wash easily is essential
- Breathable fabric - your baby's face will be close to the pillow, so choose materials that do not trap heat
- Versatile use - pillows that double for tummy time and assisted sitting offer more long-term value
- Size and portability - some pillows are more compact for travel or smaller frames; consider where you will use it most

Nursing Pillows - Frequently Asked Questions
While not strictly essential, a nursing pillow makes a significant difference in comfort, especially in the early weeks when you are feeding 8-12 times a day. It lifts baby to breast height, reducing hunching and arm strain. Many mums say it is one of the items they use most. It also works for tummy time and supported sitting as baby grows.
Yes - nursing pillows work equally well for bottle feeding. The positioning support helps you hold baby at a comfortable angle for paced bottle feeding, which is recommended to reduce overfeeding and wind. It also means less arm strain during longer feeding sessions.
You can start using a nursing pillow from your baby's first day home. As baby grows, the pillow continues to be useful for supporting their weight during feeds and later for tummy time from around 3-4 months.
No - nursing pillows are designed for supervised feeding and play only. Baby should never be left to sleep on a nursing pillow unsupervised, as this poses a suffocation risk. Always place baby on a firm, flat sleep surface on their back, following safe sleep guidelines.
Most nursing pillows come with removable covers that can be machine washed. Check the care label for temperature guidance. The inner pillow itself may be spot-cleaned or hand-washed depending on the fill material. Having a spare cover is useful so you always have a clean one ready.
A maternity pillow is a large pregnancy pillow designed to support your bump, hips and back during sleep. A nursing pillow is a smaller, firmer pillow designed to support baby during feeds after birth. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
