What is the Breastfeeding Buddy?
Are you still using a rolled-up towel to provide under-bust support for breastfeeding patients?
Meet 'The Buddy' ... a game-changing solution designed for maternal health experts and mums alike.
Inspired by our founder Claire Hains' personal struggles with breastfeeding positioning, The Buddy was created to make breastfeeding easier for everyone. What started as a simple idea has become a trademarked, patent and design pending innovation that’s transforming breastfeeding worldwide.
The Buddy is designed to sit comfortably under the bust, lifting the breast and nipple into the ideal feeding position. It replaces the need for rolled up towels or face washers, reduces stress on breast tissue and supporting muscles, improves feeding posture, and can help free up a hand. Perfect for mums with larger breasts or challenges like downward-facing nipples and soft breast tissue, The Breastfeeding Buddy is here to make breastfeeding more comfortable, effective, and enjoyable for all.

Join us on this journey to help make the experience of breastfeeding better!
