What are the benefits of using Koala Hug Baby for feeding?
There are many benefits of using a nursing pillow: it helps mum maintain a comfortable posture, it helps position baby correctly and it lets you hold your baby in a comfortable, relaxed position.

link, where you’ll find the complete manual.
Which positions can I use to feed with Koala Hug Baby?
There are several positions to choose from to feed your baby.
It’s important to choose a quiet private place for feeding time, to sit in a comfortable position which doesn’t restrict your movements and to be able to change position without straining your back or arms with your baby's weight.
You can find further guidance on the various positions you can use on this
link.
Can I use Koala Hug Baby for bottle-feeding?
Of course! It’s also ideal for bottle-feeding. Position your baby towards you or dad with their head resting on the higher edge: it’s perfect for a calm, cosy cuddle after feeds.
In addition, the pillow reduces tension in your shoulders and arms.
What recommendations should I follow to ensure I use Koala Hug Baby pillow correctly?
It’s important not to use the pillow when your baby is sleeping, and also to ensure your baby's airways are always clear.
When using it for relaxation, avoid resting your baby snuggled in the middle of the pillow or resting too high on the pillow to ensure they can breathe properly and freely.
The pillow is not designed for use in cribs or beds.
How can I tell if my baby is in the right position at the breast?
Your arms and shoulders should be relaxed and ready to bring your baby close to your breast.
When your baby is in the right position, you should both feel comfortable and relaxed.
Once your baby is in position, bring them closer to your breast, making sure that their mouth is in front of your nipple.
Your baby should suck with their mouth wide open, taking in most of your areola and nipple.

Can I use Koala Hug Baby for nursing my baby to sleep?
Koala Hug Baby is only designed for use under adult supervision and for while your baby is awake.
How long do I have to wait for Koala Hug Baby to reshape to its original size before use?
Koala Hug Baby is delivered inside a vacuum pack for two main reasons: to ensure maximum hygiene during delivery and to minimise volume, thus, reduce impact on the environment.
Once the vacuum pack is opened, the pillow returns to its original size within approximately 24 hours.
How can I wash Hug Baby?
It can be machine-washed at 30°. You can also tumble dry it on a low temperature cycle.
What’s the difference between Koala Hug Baby and Koala Hugs and Hugs Plus?
