The Original Willow Pillow - Baby Bottle Holder, Trainer and Bib

I have 3 kids under age 2 (twin babies and a toddler) and these pillows are a lifesaver!! I use them all the time. My twins know a bottle is coming when I put these on them.2 suggestions that would make this pillow even better:1. Lengthen the elastic strap so it can hold all sizes of bottles. The fatter bottles can be a challenge to secure.2. I almost never use the snaps in the back. If my babies could sit up by themselves they would be useful. Instead, I lay my twins on boppy pillows, lift up their head with one hand and put the straps behind their neck with the other hand. Sometimes they unintentionally grab the pillow and yank it away from their mouth. If there was velcro on the sides of the pillow where I could easily secure the neck straps in place, that would be amazing.I suppose I could make these changes myself with a little sewing. Ha! I mentioned I have 3 kids under 2, right??

I bought this pillow because I was looking for something that would work for feedings when in the car running errands or traveling. I chose this one specifically because although more expensive, it had decent reviews compared to other similar items. I figured, you get what you pay for, and the difference in cost was worth it so long as it worked well and held up over time. When the pillow arrived, I was immediately a bit disappointed. The stitching was really uneven in places and the Velcro to hold the bottle in place was way too long. It was impossible to make small enough to hold the bottle. As a result the bottle would constantly slip out of place or just fall out out. There is another Velcro attachment on the opposite side of the pillow but it also was way too big and poorly placed to hold the bottle. I use Dr. Browns 4oz anti-colic bottles which are pretty standard size. Not like I’m using some tiny little doll bottle. It also started falling apart after the second time using it and after the first wash. There is also a flap opening on the back of the pillow so you can remove the cover and wash it when needed. That would have been a great feature if it was zippered instead of just an open flap. My 5 month old easily gets his hands inside the flap and then gets stuck and can’t pull them out. To sum it up, I was disappointed with this pillow. It didn’t hold the bottle well, the Velcro straps were too loose and too big to hold the bottle in place and it could have been designed better with a zippered opening to remove and wash when needed.

This is a good try. It’s perfect for one of my twins, but the other one doesn’t keep her head still while eating for it to help. Finding the perfect position/angle of the baby is a bit tough, and getting the thing on and off with one hand or burping the baby mid-feed is also tough so I just tuck it behind his shoulders and it stays pretty well.

This did not work for us. tried quite a few times and i’m not sure if it was our bottles or what. we used Como Tomo bottles and the roundness and size was just awkward. I also felt like the strap around the neck seemed dangerous. thought i would be able to use it without the strap and they were able to just knock it around and move it out of place.

I got this to prop a bottle up for my son and keep it held in place, which it does... unless your baby grabs the whole cushion and move it around. Lol. Also, after washing it a couple times, it started to come apart. I dont like to fasten it behind his head because i want him to be able to push away from the bottle or turn his head freely if he decides he is done. (Also wanted to mention that the fabric is super cute, very gender neutral)

Lifesaver when you have 4 kids, and not enough hands! I looked at a bunch of bottle holders, and tried the hands free bottles with the tubing, but this works the best! Love that it has two sides, one with the Velcro closer and one with it farther away. We usually prop a burp cloth under it to get just the right angle for the bouncer he's sitting in at the time, and it works great! I have washed the pillow and the cover both, and they hold up great!

Great, BUT the fabric where the snaps are does not have stabilizer underneath and the Velcro is not great. It may not seem like a big deal at first but once this has gone through the wash a few times it starts to fall apart very quickly. Wonderful idea and very helpful product for this twin Momma, I just wish it would have lasted longer.

This is a lifesaver with twins- it cuts the feeding time in half. I have to elevate the bottle holder a little more as you can see by my picture by putting a blanket or burp cloth under them but that’s only because my babies have reflux and need to be a little more elevated. I’d highly recommend for any twins parents looking for an easy way to feed both at once by yourself!
