Side-Lying
Primary Use:
1. Best support for baby's back
- The curve/contour of the pillow follow the shape of the baby's neck, and reaches until baby's buttocks, providing the needed solid hold.
- The heavy weight keeps baby firmly attached to mom's body, thus, keep them latched together. The pillow doesn't slip so baby doesn't fall on his back.
2. Very comfortable pillow in-between mother's legs. It is necessary to place a pillow between mother's legs; otherwise, mom's legs will ache ("mangangalay").
