What is the Breastfeeding Buddy?
The Breastfeeding Buddy was born from my personal struggles with breastfeeding positioning and latch. Persistent arm, neck, shoulder, and back pain made breastfeeding increasingly challenging, motivating me to create a solution. Determined to ease this experience for mothers everywhere, I developed the first prototype. The positive impact it had on my own journey made me realize its potential to help others.
Four years later, we’re proud to introduce the Breastfeeding Buddy—a trademarked, patent- and design-pending innovation that’s transforming breastfeeding.
Designed to sit under the breast, “The Buddy” lifts the breast and nipple into the optimal feeding position, eliminating the need for makeshift solutions like rolled-up face washers. It reduces strain on breast tissue and muscles, improves posture, and frees up a hand—helping prevent issues like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Ideal for women with larger breasts, soft or sagging tissue, downward-facing nipples, or tubular-shaped breasts, The Buddy provides relief for those experiencing discomfort in the shoulders, neck, or back during breastfeeding.
