Willow Pillow FAQs

The Willow Pillow is a baby bottle holder design by a mom for moms and dads everywhere. The Willow Pillow can be used to hold any bottle design at various angles and locations. Customers have used it at doctors' offices, the mall, grocery stores, bouncer chairs, strollers, you name it!

Best of all it can be used to help train your little one to hold their own bottle! (Because that’s the real goal of all parents).

When your little one outgrows the need for a bottle holder you can remove the insert and you’re left with an awesome bib!

The Willow Pillow is COMPLETELY adjustable! There are numerous ways to set up your Willow Pillow. Here are just a few tips and tricks

Neck Straps: You can use the neck straps on the Willow Pillow to stabilize the bottle for younger babies. The snaps allow you to adjust different strap lengths for different angles and growing babies.

Bottle Straps: There are front and back elastic bottle straps at two different heights. The front is lower and the back is higher. These fit different bottle types and can also help create different angles.

All About Them Angles:  In order to use your Willow Pillow in different locations we made it as adjustable as possible to fit any reclined angle you can come up with. The neck straps can be adjusted (see above). The bottle straps can be adjusted (see above) and the insert is filled with a specialty polyfil that allows you to mold the insert into different shapes: squish for flatter angles, poof up for steeper angles.

Of course! At Willow Pillow we completely understand wanting to cuddle up with your little one when they’re eating. You can hold your baby while they wear their Willow Pillow and enjoy hot coffee at the same time!

The Willow Pillow was developed by a mom suffering from PPD as a way of relieving extra stress associated with long or irregular feeding schedules. While it isn’t a treatment or cure for PPD (we always recommend talking with a doctor if you think you’re experiencing PPD), it has had a positive impact with PPD moms.

Of course! If you pump and feed your baby using a bottle when you’re away or if your significant other or family feeds your little one using a bottle you can benefit from a Willow Pillow.

You can use the Willow Pillow with any age since the design doesn’t require the baby to use their hand-eye coordination.

Yes! We have an easy 4-Step Method for helping teach your little on to hold their bottle.

Step 1 – Start off getting your little one used to the Willow Pillow. We recommended using the adjustable neck straps and the bottle strap

Step 2 – When your little one starts showing signs of moving the Willow Pillow on their own and keeping the bottle stable, start placing the bottle without the neck straps so they have more control over the bottle.

Step 3 –  Start guiding your little one’s hands to the bottle instead of the Willow Pillow. You can now start placing the bottle on the Willow Pillow without using a bottle strap.

Step 4 – When your little one gets really good at holding on to the bottle, start scooting the Willow Pillow back off the baby as they’re holding it. It can take a little time for them to build up the muscles holding a big full bottle on their own.

Note: Keep in mind that every baby is different and grows at different rates. Don’t get discouraged if your little one struggles at a step. Just go to the previous step and try again another time.

Wash your covers: The type of fabric your cover is made from will change your care instructions a little but for the most part you can wash the covers in cold water and hang dry. Heating too much may curl the elastic bottle straps.

Wash your insert: The pillow insert is stain resistant and only needs to be washed with a damp cloth.

Your Willow Pillow is filled with adjustable filling. If it gets flat you can fluff it up by hand or toss the insert in the dryer for a few minutes.
