MFM Awards Winners – Baby and toddler feeding products
Support / Nursing pillow
Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow - Gold
“This is a really effective nursing pillow. It has a great shape that helps positioning really well so makes using it a real pleasure. It’s very soft to the touch and the cover can be easily removed and washed. It also helps mum support her arms which is a bonus. Definitely one of the best nursing pillows I’ve tried.” Anna, mum of 2

bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow - Silver
“Honestly this has been a life saver. I hadn't had a full night’s sleep in pregnancy till this product changed everything. It's even stopped back ache in the mornings. It's easy to use, the case is easy to clean and it is amazingly comfortable. A clear winner.” Liz, mum of 1

bbhugme Nursing Pillow - Joint Bronze
“This is a lovely nursing pillow that can be adapted for different sizes and positions. If you tie the pillow around your hips, you can sit baby on it while holding onto your older baby and it will help take some of the weight off and make it more comfortable for carrying your baby around! I have also been using it as a pregnancy support pillow and have found it very comfortable and helpful to getting a bit of extra rest at night time.” Claire, mum of 1
Available from: Scandiborn
Belloost Pregnancy Pillow - Joint Bronze
“Once I’d got the hang of getting comfy into a good position on the pillow I really felt a relief of the pressure on my lower back - I'm normally a front or back sleeper so that comfy, cosy feeling of being able to lie on my front again was bliss, felt so natural and familiar so very relaxing. The sturdiness of the pillow meant I felt very secure and safe in lying on my front without any pressure on my bump, and my hips and pelvis felt very supported.” Elisa, mum of 2

Finalists: Feeding Friend; OCTAsupport Body Pillow
Breast pump
Medela Swing Maxi Double Electric Breast Pump - Gold
“The machine is simple to put together and easy to use and adjust.

Available from: John Lewis
MAM 2-in-1 Single Breast Pump - Joint Silver
“I love the sleek design of the machine and the touchscreen which makes it so easy to use. The electric pump was able to extract more milk than my current pump and it was very comfortable to use. It also wasn't too loud when in use. I like how it's very simple to switch between manual and electric pumping modes.” Kerry, mum of 1
Available from: Mothercare
Philips Single Electric Breast Pump - Joint Silver
“Really good product, a bit pricey compared to other pumps I have seen and tried but well worth the money. Expressing is comfortable and easy.” Baljit, mum of 1
Available from: Philips
Medela Swing Pump And Feed Set - Joint Bronze
“Excellent quality product that pumps really well. It's quite highly priced compared to others on the market, but definitely worth considering.” Lucy, mum of 1
Available from: Medela
Nuby Natural Touch Ultimate Double Breast Pump - Joint Bronze
“I had postpartum anaemia and my breast milk was delayed in coming in. I used the stimulation function of the Nuby pump to encourage milk production. I also used it to pump top up feeds. The pump was invaluable in helping me start my breastfeeding journey and took a lot of stress out of a difficult time.” Laura, mum of 1
Available from: Asda

Available from: Argos
My Expert Midwife No Harm Nipple Balm - Joint Silver
“Easy to use product and pump. Great that you don’t need to remove prior to feeding. Similar ingredients to cheaper products on the market, so a little pricey but product does go a long way. Had no nipple issues using this through breast feeding.” Kara, mum of 1
Available from: My Expert Midwife
Boobbix Breastfeeding Cookies And Bars - Joint Silver
“I have to say the cookies were nicest I’ve ever tasted! I do believe they helped improve my milk supply. I was quite surprised by the hot chocolate it actually tasted like normal hot chocolate and was very nice tasting too.” Lynsey, mum of 2

Available from: Cover Me
Chico Jack's The Breastfeeding Hoodie - Silver
“I love the longer length of this hoodie as I am 5ft 8 and can wear this with leggings. The fleece lining feels extra snug. The zips make breastfeeding even easier in public and I can feed baby discreetly. I prefer this then having a flap that goes over baby like other maternity tops as it is easier for me to help baby to latch on and for her to have a peek up at me every now and then!” Lauren, mum of 1
Available from: Chico Jacks
The Bshirt - Joint Bronze
“The style of the vest means it can be worn on its own or as an undergarment allowing you to wear regular clothes on top. I really like this feature as regular nursing clothes can be quite obvious and not very flattering. It also comes in a long sleeve which is ideal for the colder months or for when you don’t want to wear a coat or jacket. The organic cotton has a lovely soft and comfortable feel to it and washed very nicely maintaining its stretch and colour.” Lollie, mum of 2
Available from: Bshirt
Stylish Mum Breastfeeding Hoodie - Joint Bronze
“I've lived in this during the cold winter months, even wearing it to bed while co-sleeping with my newborn. It's comfy, easy to feed in and discreet. People have even commented on how ‘slimming’ it is - fantastic!” Ruth, mum of 1

Available from: Pram Centre
Chicco Polly Magic Relax - Silver
“Great highchair. Love that it is suitable from newborn. Seat unit is comfortable and soft. Feeding tray is a good size. Very convenient to store. Price is slightly on the high side but having said that I would definitely recommend to any new parents.” Alexis, mum of 5
Available from: John Lewis
Weaning product
Bibetta Weaning Pack - Joint Gold

Available from: Bibetta

Available from: Easy Tots
Bobo&boo 5 Piece Bamboo Dinnerware Set - Silver
“I loved this set and it appealed to me straight away. It's made from bamboo fibres and therefore eco-friendly whilst not breaking the bank. The set might be a bit more expensive than others but in my opinion with its sleek and simple yet stylish design this set can easily last you from toddler all the way through to primary school.” Katharina, mum of 3
Available from: Amazon
DK Annabel Karmel Weaning Book - Joint Bronze
“I've recommended this to other first-time mums as I found it the most interesting, engaging and informative weaning book so far. I enjoyed that their guidelines were not set in stone and it allows you to make informed decision to figure out how you want to wean. The images were colourful and clear and the book was set out well and colour coded for when you need to quickly check a recipe etc.” Rebecca, mum of 1
Available from: Waterstones

Available from: Vital Baby
Itsy Blitz - Bronze
“I think it would be very useful on holiday as of course, you would not have a blender. Another advantage would be if you have older children you could blend their food, when eating out so you get a 2 for 1 meal and no wastage!” Lauren, mum of 1
Available from: My Itsy
Cup / Beaker
MAM Trainer 2-in-1 - Gold
“This 2 in 1 trainer bottle has been great! The handles are perfect sized for little hands and it seemed to come as second nature to my baby with where to hold it, encouraging her to drink from the bottle herself.” Sophie-Clara, mum of 3

Available from: Amazon
Kiddylicious - Bronze
“We tested the Kiddylicious strawberry wafers and they were a big hit with all three children, aged 14 months, three and five. The 14-month-old in particular loved them and they were very easy for her to eat with no mess. These are a really easy snack to have in your bag when you're out and about.” Alice, mum of 3

Available from: JoJo Maman Bebe
Annabel Karmel's Baby & Toddler Recipe App - Silver
