Special notification: I've extended the giveaway through September 7 due to vacation delays on my part!
In continuing celebration of World Breastfeeding Week (and National Breastfeeding Awareness Month!), I am pleased to bring you an inflatable pillow that you can use for back support for nursing, pregnancy, travel, and outdoor fun.
WondaWedge is offering my readers a giveaway of a WondaWedge Inflatable Back Support Pillow!
They're sending me my own pillow for review, but they were kind enough to let me start the giveaway in advance so we could get in on the World Breastfeeding Week celebration! So stay tuned for my review after I test my pillow in bed, in the park, and on the beach!
Here is information I can give you on the pillow, though, from the website and reviews:
The WondaWedge is a lightweight, inflatable triangular wedge pillow with a permanently attached mat, offering three different sitting or reclining positions: upright, reclining, and lying down. It was designed by physiotherapists and is recommended for back support.
Because your weight holds the mat down, the pillow stays in one spot and enables you to relax. It works great in that uncomfortable third trimester of pregnancy and then as support while breastfeeding.
Made of "sueded" vinyl, it’s easily hand washable. The pillow is inflatable, so it can be inflated to your comfort level, and then it stores easily and fits nicely into a suitcase for travel.
Many people enjoy using the WondaWedge outdoors as well as inside. It can give you needed back support when you're attending a picnic on the grass or relaxing on the beach. Think of all the summer activities you could bring the WondaWedge to!
My take on its use during pregnancy and infant feeding: Note that this pillow does not support the baby (as with nursing-specific pillows) for feeding, but it does help support the parent and give you some back support as you recline in bed or elsewhere. You could use a nursing pillow in addition to the WondaWedge and let the WondaWedge keep you comfortable in back. Many parents sit up in a more upright position when feeding their babies, and the WondaWedge says you can do just that. However, it also offers a recline position, and I do find it relaxing sometimes to recline and let my older baby or toddler lean onto my chest. This is especially helpful if he has a stuffy nose, as it can help keep him breathing more comfortably, and I've heard reclining is a good position for tandem nursing in bed as well. 
I absolutely love the idea of this pillow for pregnancy use, because I was so uncomfortable toward the end of my pregnancy! It can help keep your back supported or your knees or feet elevated. (I think I just might want two or three!) I would also use it to help keep me in an elevated recline when I can't sleep because I'm feeling stuffy from a cold or allergies.So you can experiment with the WondaWedge for pregnancy and nursing use as you wish, and find plenty of other uses for it as well:
Outdoors:
- Beach lounger - sand won’t stick to or penetrate
- Fishing back support - for more relaxing fishing
- Camping lounger - pack it along with your tent
- RV accessory - deflates for compact storage
- Outdoor concert seating - easy to carry, doesn’t tear up the turf
- Picnic seating - better than just a blanket
- Boating lounger - recline in style on your pontoon or sailboat
- Soccer sideline seating - more comfortable than bleachers or a blanket
- Outdoor plays/movies - lean back and enjoy the show!
- Stargazing - the reclining position is perfect for watching the night sky
- Poolside lounger - less expensive than a chaise lounge
Indoors:
- Recuperation - just home from the hospital
- Chronic Illness - for those who spend much of their time in bed
- Reading in bed - Chiropractors recommend it
- Relaxing on the floor - multi position support for a myriad of activities, dorm rooms, teenage bedrooms
- Meditation lower back support - focus on meditating, not your aching back! Pack one when you attend meditation workshops!
- Sleep aid - for GERD, Acid Reflux, respiratory problems - sleep well
- Pregnancy - sleep aid/breast feeding back support – be comfortable
- Breast Cancer - recuperate in an elevated position as this enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas
I can think of a half-dozen ways I want to use mine when it gets here!

something i learned from the site - well, your review was very thorough, and you covered most of it, but i love the indoor uses. if i win one i'll be using it for the acid reflux i'm anticipating near the end of this pregnancy, back support while and breastfeeding or crafting in bed, and jeremy and i will both be using it for under our legs when our backs go out.

i WOULD USE THIS FOR NURSING, OR READING IN BED.
I would love the lime green pillow.
I would use the Wonda Wedge pillow while reading, and while watching my husbands baseball games. This would make sitting on the grass so much more comfortable. Thanks!

I would love either royal blue or lime green for my WondaWedge pillow.

I learned that the Wonda Wedge pillow weighs only 1.3 pounds, which makes it perfect for travel. Thanks!

I just had gall bladder surgery so I am stuck in bed for awhile. This would be perfect for me! After I'm all healed up, I would continue using it to support my back while I read and use the computer in bed.
