LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ergobaby®, the award-winning designer of premium ergonomic baby carriers, today announces the launch of the Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow. The nursing pillow is uniquely designed with curved contouring to help position baby in an ideal tummy-to-tummy position for a healthy latch and offers lasting support to nurse comfortably. The Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow continues the brand's expansion of its ergonomic design innovations into new product categories.

ERGOBABY DEBUTS THE NATURAL CURVE(TM) NURSING PILLOW

The new Natural Curve Nursing Pillow is the result of years of design and development with lactation experts and nursing moms. Ergobaby listened to the concerns of these breastfeeding moms and thoughtfully designed a uniquely firm and ergonomically structured pillow that helps to position the baby during nursing and maintain its shape over time. Key benefits of the Natural Curve Nursing Pillow include:

Unique contour helps with positioning for nursing comfort & a healthy latch
- Allows you to choose the height and angle you need for a better latch
- Tilts baby's head & body towards you for easier nursing & reduced rolling
- Positions baby's head above tummy to help aid digestion
Thick, firm foam maintains shape for continued support
- Keeps baby at a comfortable height to prevent back pain from leaning and slouching
- Supports weight of baby to reduce arm fatigue

The Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow will be sold with a two-sided neutral Brown cover. The plush top is soft and gentle on baby's skin and the poplin underside is made of 100% cotton. The cover is removable and machine washable. Mom may elect to purchase an additional replacement cover of the same neutral Brown or a Grey and Yellow Swirl. Both the nursing pillow and replacement covers will be available May 2015 at select retailers and on http://www.ergobaby.com.

Ergobaby enlisted Dr. Tanya Altmann, Pediatrician and mother of 3 and a member of the Company's medical advisory board, to try out the Natural Curve Nursing Pillow with her one month old, and here's what she had to say:

"I like the firmness because it helps hold him up in the proper position and keep him elevated and latched on properly so he won't slip off as with some softer nursing pillows", says Dr. Altman, "Also, the curve is very nice because it helps cradle the baby and keep his head slightly elevated that way gravity helps pull the milk down and can really aid those babies with reflux or that spit up a bit."

Ergobaby is partnering with leading breast pump manufacturer Ameda to sponsor a series of talks by nursing expert Jessica Martin-Weber from The Leaky Boob at MommyCon conferences across the US. Beginning on February 21^st in Chicago, MommyCon Nursing Lounge attendees will have a chance to try out and learn more about the Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow as part of the nursing pillow launch. MommyCon is a boutique style convention dedicated to bringing modern parents and mothers-to-be together. Seminars and workshops include: babywearing, birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, car seat safety, natural health and medicine, baby gear, childproofing and so much more.
