The reason is that sleeping on your back in later pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of stillbirth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical problem is staying there. Most people are back or front sleepers and roll over in the night without noticing. A full-body pillow makes side sleeping comfortable enough to stay in — the bump is supported from the front, so you're not lying on an unsupported weight, and the section between your knees keeps your hips level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you wake on your back, don't worry. Just settle back onto your side. It's the position you fall asleep in that matters most, because that's the position you spend longest in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e9ft or 12ft?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e9ft\u003c\/strong\u003e at 1.7kg is easier to move and takes up less of the bed — the better choice if you share a double, or if you're not tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12ft\u003c\/strong\u003e at 2.5kg gives more to wrap and shape around you.

A full-body pillow is genuinely good for feeding support — it takes the baby's weight off your arms during long feeds, which is where most of the shoulder and neck ache comes from in the early weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove the case and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
