There are many ways to use this special pillow with your baby and yourself. Here are our personal recommendations:
1. TRAVEL & LOUNGING SUPPORT
No bobbing heads, just pure safety and comfort.
When you are out and about or just simply lounging with baby, you want to make sure that your baby's head and neck is safely prepared for movement.
To use The Butterfly Pillow for car seats, strollers and baby bouncers or loungers, simply let baby's head and neck rest on the centremost part of the pillow and adjust for comfort.
2. NURSING SUPPORT
No shoulder, arm and back strain, just pure bonding and comfort.
Nursing with baby is a time for nurture and bonding and you want to be as relaxed as possible during this time whenever, wherever you are.
To use The Butterfly Pillow for nursing support, position the pillow to hug your tummy and rest your elbow and arm on it. Let your baby lie down naturally whether with a cradle hold, cross-over hold or football hold and adjust for comfort.
3. TUMMY TIME SUPPORT
No worries, just pure physical development, fun and comfort.
Tummy time is one of the best ways to strengthen your baby's neck and back as they push up and down. The pillow supports them and its butterfly wings protect them from rolling over. Personal Note: I did this with my own baby from 2 months onwards to help develop her strength and we are glad to report that she was able to sit, crawl, and walk earlier than norm amongst babies her age as noted by her pediatrician, too.
To use The Butterfly Pillow for tummy time support, place baby's chest on the softest and centremost portion of the pillow with the tummy on the middle recess, let arms and hands rest on the wings of the pillow and adjust for comfort. Play and bond with baby or even let him/her watch a learning video that's full of positively stimulating baby songs.
4. SITTING SUPPORT
No worries, just pure physical development, fun and comfort.
When your baby is just about ready to sit up or learning to sit up, you can always use the Butterfly Pillow to support your baby.
To use The Butterfly Pillow for sitting support, place the pillow on baby's tummy with the middle part on his tummy and hugging chest and the wings supporting arms and sides. Always be beside your baby to provide the necessary support and guidance.
Note: Always use The Butterfly Pillow under adult supervision.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. CAN I LET MY BABY SLEEP USING THE BUTTERFLY PILLOW?
It is not advised to let infants sleep with the Butterfly Pillow to avoid SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In fact, it is advised that an infant’s cot should be devoid of anything that could cause an infant to suffocate such as toys and blankets. Keep any infant’s cot and bassinet free from any obstruction. Infants can sleep perfectly fine on their own. Use the Butterfly Pillow under proper adult supervision at all times.
2. CAN MY TODDLER USE THE BUTTERFLY PILLOW DURING SLEEP?
Toddlers age 2 years old and above are able to adjust according to their comfort and therefore will be safer when they use any pillow during sleep for that matter. The Butterfly Pillow is especially useful during times when your child has a cold and needs a proper pillow to prop up his or her head to be able to breathe better and sleep soundly.
3. CAN I USE THE BUTTERFLY PILLOW FOR MYSELF?
Anytime! Kids and adults can also use The Butterfly Pillow. Here are some ways:
a. The Butterfly – Lay your head on the centremost, softest part of the pillow. Let the lower wings support the neck and rest on shoulder sides or shoulder blades.
b. The Boomerang – Fold the pillow sideways creating a boomerang shape and rest the back of your neck on the recess of the pillow.
c. The T – Fold upper wing of the pillow onto lower wing of the opposite side to form a T-shape, rest your neck on patterned fabric and your cheek on the soft minky fabric.
4. CAN PREGNANT WOMEN USE THE BUTTERFLY PILLOW?
Absolutely! The Butterfly Pillow is a great comforter which pregnant women can use to ease tummy strain while sitting down. They can put the pillow under their tummy, middle recess toward the tummy. They can also use it to ease neck and shoulder strain by resting their neck and upper back on the pillow (see no. 4a. Butterfly way). They can also try to ease back strain by putting it on their lower back when they are sitting down especially while driving or doing computer work. They can use it as their sleep pillow, too, for a more restful sleep.
