The Udderly Yours™ Breast Pillow Wins Second Consecutive Award For Outstanding Product










San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 22, 2005

GREAT FALLS, VA, November 22, 2005 – As the first product to address the need for hands-free nursing support, The Udderly Yours™ Breast Pillow has received its second consecutive award for product excellence. After thorough evaluation from real mom testers, the handheld breast pillow which received an iParenting award earlier this year, was also highlighted as the most innovative product and received the ‘Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award’ in the New Baby 2005 category. Designed by a mom to simplify the nursing process, the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow is a crescent-shaped cushion made of high density memory foam that supports and positions the breast upward so that moms no longer need to hold their breast while nursing their baby – ultimately providing a hands-free solution.

“Each mom was very impressed with the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow,” said Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health expert, Parent to Parent, CEO/founder of http://www.AddingWisdomAward.com, the only award program to ever be honored by Disney! “We received three of the Udderly Yours Breast Pillows and all three were tested by regular moms who utilized them for breastfeeding. One mom, who thought she would not be able to breast feed, said it was amazing and she literally cried with joy. Those tears of testament say it all.”

Parent to Parent, an internationally syndicated parenting/family newspaper column, is owned by parent company Martin-Ola Press through which the best, safe and family friendly products for families are recommended and achieve worldwide recognition. The organization is associated with reputable outlets such as PBSKidsTV and Disney.com.

Committee members of Parent to Parent evaluated the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow against many other products geared towards new moms, and praised it for quality and innovation in addressing a very common problem that nursing moms deal with on a daily basis. Designed by a mom to simplify the nursing process, the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow is a crescent-shaped cushion made of high density memory foam that supports and positions the breast upward so that moms no longer need to hold their breast while nursing their baby – ultimately providing a hands-free solution.

Many women find breastfeeding to be an extremely challenging and frustrating endeavor since it often requires for moms to physically support their breast up during feeding in order to provide the best position for their baby. Although this is tiresome and painful to the wrist, it also makes it difficult for moms to focus on bonding with their baby and impossible to do other simple tasks like answering the phone. The Udderly Yours Breast Pillow provides the most comfortable and optimal breast position for nursing, and is conveniently sized so that moms can throw it in their purse or diaper bag and use it on the go.

“For years I have been helping moms with their breastfeeding needs in hopes of teaching them the best techniques, and ways to relax and bond with their baby during this very special time,” said Patty Dougherty, nurse educator who teaches breastfeeding classes to new moms. “One of the most common challenges we see is with the larger breasted moms who are frustrated with having to hold their breast up while nursing so that their baby can latch on successfully. Many people in my field recommend that moms roll up a towel to place under their breast for added support. This, however, has its own challenges since the towel doesn’t always stay in place, may cause pressure, and still doesn’t lift the breast to the best angle. I was impressed by the Udderly Yours Breast Pillow as it’s the first product I’ve seen that addresses a very common, yet highly problematic issue.”

Udderly Yours was established in 2004, and was founded by a mom to help women overcome common challenges they face with motherhood. Its flagship product – The Udderly Yours Breast Pillow – was designed for women who have to physically support their breast while nursing to give moms a much simpler and hands-free process in order to succeed with this endeavor.

Established in 1998, the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award honors products of outstanding quality that support family values and now includes gifts for moms, dads, kids, and babies. Committees look for products that entertain and teach, inspiring imagination and creativity. Additionally, the Family Testers are interested in how products help children grow ethically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically. The Family Testers are real families who test and evaluate before final decisions are reached.

Amazing Creations Launches Conception Curve ‘Fertility Pillow’ on to UK Market and Helps Mums to Be










(PRWEB) April 21, 2006

According to experts such as Dr Ruth Westheimer, conception rates can be improved by the woman lying on her back with her pelvis titled upwards for 20-30 minutes following ejaculation. The Conception Curve Positioning Pillow (™) is the only post-coital positioning device contoured to support a woman’s hips, thighs and buttocks as gravity helps nature take its course. Easy to use, the pillow can be aligned comfortably under the buttocks so the aspiring mum is in the optimum position to achieve a pregnancy – without the need for artificial methods.

With durability in mind, the Conception Curve comes with a removable, machine washable, satin-soft waterproof cover and is lined using a water resistant material which means it can easily be wiped clean. It is highly portable with handles on either side.

Costing just £39.95, the Conception Curve offers great value for money as it has multiple uses after conception – for example, as a foot rest. Doctors recommend pregnant women put their feet up every day (higher than their heart) to prevent varicose veins and swollen ankles. The pillow can also be used as a back support for breast feeding, when reading a bedtime story to the little one, or as an ideal companion for watching TV, chatting on the phone or working in bed.

Caroline Coughlan, managing director of Amazing Creations, came across the product after trying for her last baby in 2005. She says: “I was trying to conceive for 13 months, so I know how stressful this process can be. I was surprised that hardly any products are available to help women conceive naturally. I discovered the Conception Curve a month after I became pregnant and thought it was a godsend for mums to be.”

The Conception Curve is endorsed by fertility specialist, Dr. Christopher D. Williams. He says: “It stimulates what I do in my office after a woman has undergone artificial insemination. I normally raise the hips and allow the woman to rest for 20 minutes in that position.” The Conception Curve is also a winner of the Orca “best products” media guide.

Besides selling the Conception Curve, Amazing Creations also distributes Swaddleaze – a baby sleeping bag and swaddle duo chosen by celebrities.

(PRWEB) August 21, 2006

Made in Water (www.madeinwater.co.uk), a website dedicated to those who believe that childbirth should not be a medical procedure, but a gentle, natural process, has announced a sharp increase in demand for their organic Lulla-Luna moon nursing pillow. The pillow offers a more durable and natural alternative to the cheaper polyester and polystyrene pillows and fits snugly around the front of the waist, making it an excellent support for mums when they are breast feeding or nursing their baby.

The Lulla-Luna pillow is made with 100% certified organic cotton (Kba) making it kind on skin and soft to touch with its supersoft, washable, plush cover. As well as babies and mothers, the whole family can also benefit from the pillow. Recommended by chiropractors, the pillow supports the natural curves of the head and body in every position. The pillow acts as a head and back support when sitting, reading, or in the car on long journeys – perfect for the whole family to use.

The pillow is filled with spelt allowing a pleasant natural aroma to sooth the baby while the large grains of spelt husk offer a soft and gentle support perfect for baby massage. Spelt is traditionally known for its therapeutic effects in Europe and Asia and is recommended for backache and spinal problems, migraines and insomnia.

“Many women want the best possible start for their babies. The natural and positive effects of the organic Lulla-Luna pillow let women and their baby feel relaxed and safe, encouraging successful breastfeeding. The spelt grains move freely, conforming to the natural contour of you and your baby so the pillow provides greater comfort than standard pillows. At Made in Water we aim to provide natural products that are of the highest quality to assist mothers from pregnancy through to birth and the pillow is proving to be very popular indeed.”

Carine Pouypoudat, Founder, Made in Water

Carine Pouypoudat founded Made in Water in 2004 after she experienced a very personal need for comfort and more natural and ethical products during her own pregnancies. In 2005 Made in Water’s range of 100% organic pillows were developed for pregnancy and nursing. The full range of Lulla-Luna pillows also includes a body pillow for full support during pregnancy and a wedge pillow for heavy and tired legs. Today, Made in Water provides information and advice for mothers whether they are choosing to have a home birth, hospital birth or to use a birth centre. Their range of natural products assist mothers through their journey and beyond.

Notes to Editor:


Spelt is a grain traditionally used for centuries in Europe and Asia where it is well known for its therapeutic effects.

Spelt was first cultivated in the area now known as Iran about 5000 BC for its relaxing virtues. A kernel of spelt looks like a large grain of rice. It has a tough outer husk that protects its nutrients. Spelt has become a top-selling product in the organic and health food markets.
