I used this as my go-to nursing pillow for newborn feedings. It’s firm and holds shape well, and the snap/strap keeps it from sliding while I fed the baby. The cover is soft terry and zips off for washing — I washed it a few times. There’s light pilling and a few faint marks from normal use but no tears, smells, or stains that show up from a short distance. Great for feeding, propping, and short tummy-time sessions.
