A really cheap mattress is likely to leave you tossing and turning, but is the same true for pillows? We sent 71 staffers home with an expensive and an inexpensive pillow of the type they normally use: polyester, feather/down, or memory-foam. Each panelist was instructed to sleep on each pillow for five consecutive nights. And, while fully awake, our textile expert assessed the pillows' construction quality. Although some testers said that expensive polyester-filled and down-filled pillows were more comfortable than their cheaper counterparts, personal preferences about pillow firmness, fluffiness, flatness, and size were almost as important. For memory-foam pillows, the inexpensive and pricey versions offered about the same comfort, sleep quality, and construction quality. Depending on their preferences, memory-foam fans could have saved more than $60 by buying the less expensive pillow.
Compare firmness by placing pillows on a flat surface and compressing them with your palm to about half of each pillow's original thickness. The more pressure you have to apply, the firmer the pillow. The faster the pillow returns to its original shape, the more resilient. Check for neat stitches, straight seams, evenly distributed filling, a usable zipper, and piping that reduces wear on the edges. A tightly woven cover protects the fill. Memory-foam pillows can have an odor, so take a good sniff. Tempur-Pedic claims its pillows' odor dissipates over a short time with regular use. If you're keeping the pillow, it's OK to tear off the tag that warns against removing it under penalty of law. The tag is meant for pillow manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

Your baby may easily latch on and start nursing away, but if not, it doesn't mean breastfeeding is a no-go. It might just mean you need a little help. Find a nursing support group or a lactation consultant in your area, and then check out these genius breastfeeding accessories, which may help you work through your feeding challenges.
The REAL Way to Prep for Breastfeeding Issue: It hurts to nurseThey say breastfeeding shouldn't hurt, but a lot of moms in the nursing trenches will tell you it can, at least at first. Make sure your baby has a proper latch by checking that he sucks the areola—and not just the nipple—and that both top and bottom lips are turned out. A silicon nipple shield can also give you some relief and create a stronger latch, providing a barrier between you and your babe's mouth. Issue: You've got inverted nipplesBoobs come in all shapes and sizes, and for some mamas that means flat or inverted nipples, which might be hard for baby's mouth to grab on to. The aforementioned nipple shields can help here, but so can these breast shells. Wear them when you're not nursing—even before you have the baby—to pull nipples out. A word of warning, though; you'll look like, uh, you're very cold when wearing these, so you might want to limit them to home use. Issue: Your nipples are soreJunior's been feeding away, and you've got the cracked nipples to prove it.
Using a shield will help take some of the ouch out of nursing. Also, applying Lansinoh will help the girls heal faster, and since there are no preservatives or additives in it, you don't have to wash it off before putting your baby back on the breast. Issue: Your back hurtsIt's easy to hunch over when you nurse. Considering you're doing it every two hours (or more), it can really do a number on your back. The Boppy props baby up to your level, so you don't have to bend at all. For lower back aches, you can also try putting a stack of books or a low stool under your feet to help you sit tall. Issue: You can't tell if it's workingYou think you're doing it right, but how can you be sure? Count wet diapers (6 to 8 a day is normal) and check in with your ped at those well-baby visits to make sure your baby's gaining weight. But if you're worried in between appointments, it might make sense to invest in a scale so you can weigh baby as often as your neurotic new mom heart desires. This model also coverts to a toddler scale when you remove the tray.
Issue: You need some sleepSleep deprivation can be torture, making it really hard to cope with all the changes in your life. Pumps aren't just for working mamas, they're also for new moms about to lose their sanity. Extract some milk during the day and let Daddy have a turn with a bottle, preferably at 3am. Issue: You fear nipple confusionYou're dying to get a break by trying a bottle, but won't your babe get nipple confusion? Talk to your pediatrician first, but if you plan to introduce a bottle (conventional wisdom suggests between four and six weeks, although many moms use them from the start), we recommend Adiri's super-soft model with its super-soft, boob knock-off design. Issue: You're shy about nursing in publicSome women are proud to feed around others without a second thought—good for them! If that just doesn't feel like you, get a little privacy with a nursing cover, which cocoons baby while he eats, but lets you peek in from above. Issue: Your breasts are leakingYour cups runneth over—sometimes way over.
Avoid an embarrassing wet spot on your shirt by using nursing pads in your bra to absorb any leakage. Issue: You've Got VNPL (Visible Nursing Pad Lines) You've got a fancy event, and the telltale outline of your nursing pads just won't work in a slinky dress. These silicone pads don't absorb but they do claim to put enough pressure on your nipples to keep them from leaking. They will remain invisible all night, even under something clingy. Issue: Your supply seems lowIf it seems like your body's not making enough milk, talk to your doctor or a lactation consultant about ways to build up your supply. You can also ask about trying the herbal supplement fenugreek, which some moms say can stimulate milk production. It's rumored to make you smell like maple syrup—anyone feel like pancakes? Issue: You're painfully engorgedThe good news: baby's sleeping through the night! The bad: your boobs feel painfully full now that you're nursing less. Gel pads, which can be used warm or cold, can be stuck in your bra for relief.
