The Kinder Caterpillow is perfect to use as a body pillow whilst pregnant, and also a feeding aid for when your baby arrives. It can be used in various positions to help take away those aches and pains during pregnancy, to help support bump, back and knees and help you to get into that comfortable position., Research shows that whilst pregnant, sleeping on your left side is best for your baby, because it helps the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta. It also helps your kidneys to get rid of waste products and fluids from your body. Our specially shaped 9ft Caterpillow is made to curve nicely around your neck and allow you to sleep comfortably on your left hand side; as it comes down the side position, its thinner, to allow your bump to rest on the pillow, taking strain away from your back., The pillow then gets wider and thicker, as it is recommended to sleep with 2 or more pillows between your bent knees, to take pressure away from the muscles around your hips and pelvis., During the day time, the pillow can be used whilst sitting/relaxing and place under your legs, keeping them slightly raised, which will help to reduce swelling in your ankles and feet. It can also be rolled up and used as a feeding aid when your baby arrives, and also as a sitting aid/for tummy time when your baby grows. It comes with a lovely silver star pattern cover, which can be removed and machine washed.
