Could this pillow still be used as a support for baby to sit, do tummy time... etc like regular U-shape pillow does? Thank you~

I suppose it's possible, however I do have a boppy as well and that's what I use. But for breastfeeding purposes only I recommend this pillow.

I know it may not be recommended for babies that young, but the pillow is just supposed to relieve pressure from laying on the mattress pad. It gives cushion, so it isn't an issue which direction the baby turns its head! Hope this helps! :)

I personally would not be able to with this pillow. Though I think it has to do with what kind of pillow you prefer. I felt that this was very fluffy and full. I prefer pillows to be less full and more of a firm type... when considering head pillow types. I used this pillow during both of my pregnancy's as support for my legs, hips, and back. Hope that helps!

I dont suggest you use it as a pillow. I sometimes use it as a pillow when my kid rotate in the bed and I have to rotate as well. In the morning I will feel my neck is stiff and hurt

I plan to use it for a newborn. If you look at the company's web site they say it's suitable, but that it's a good idea to buy an infant insert to give more support for the head and neck. There are lots of options for those for use in car seats, strollers, etc. I plan to add that and start using it right away.

not really helpful for flat head..my baby's head is still flat..and I don't suggest to use this pillow during warm or hot weather.

I have not used this pillow for lumbar support but I would suggest that the pillow is soft and therefore would not be suitable.

I tried using this pillow to prop him up so I can go wash the bottle and found that he has almost pushed himself off the back. He would push with his legs on the pillow. If it was indented in just a bit more - then I would say maybe (even though the pillow warning signs say not to). I only use it when he is not as active and more in a resting but not sleepy state. Over all it is not my go to pillow for him.

That's exactly what it's for. The pillow isn't attached at all. I used it to prop in front of my 8 month old son so he wouldn't wobble as much, then in the checkout I played with him like it was a sword to keep him occupied while we waited. It has quite a bit of padding in it, so it won't really "bend" around the baby, but it will sit in front or behind him/her very functionally.

My child is only 1 month so not really sure, but I imagine the child can use it for it's naptime function as is until he is ready to crawl and trying to break lose out of it himself.. then he can use it as a cushion type chair to sit/lean over...

I would not put it on a tummy sleeper. Once my baby started rolling over, it would leave a little red mark on his tummy or it would fall off. I used it until he started rolling over, and now I use the under the mattress monitor instead.

Im not an expert just a mom... I bought a sleep curve mattress for moses basket and used it until my daughter was 4 months and then bought the pillow. You should definitely consider sleep curve mattress it is great and quite affordable in moses basket size! She slides off the pillow now so half the time she is not even on it. So I can't say it is safe to use for a tiny baby because I started using it after four months.

The purpose of the pillow is to provide back support for smaller babies, or those whose back muscles aren't quite strong enough to sit up on their own. It is detachable.

I don't believe that this is a seat topper for support when not in use as a massage topper. Mainly, there are two ball-like contraptions in the seat that move around when you turn the product on to a massage setting. When not on, the balls just stay in place (which you can feel). As a result, when I'm not using for massage purposes, I wouldn't sit on it as it can be uncomfortable. If you are looking for lumbar support, you may want to try a different product specifically designed for that. Hope this helped!

1) nope, it's just like any other pillow 2) it's great for people of different sizes. It's a normal, as-expected size in general so if can accommodate different people. In fact, both of my parents use it as well (I got them started on orthopedic pillows :P). My dad is bigger than my mom but they both like their pillows

This is possible. I had cervical surgery and I used it because I needed the support without the bulk of a regular size pillow

It could work for that but not as well as a regular nursing pillow. The Boppy and Mombo are much more firm than this pillow.
