The color and pattern on the pillow should be natural and calm rather than a loud and decorative case. One or two extra cases can be purchased in order to use it if the other cases are dirty.
The cases are also flexible enabling us to wash it in a machine. If the pillow does not come with the case, then the pillow should be flexible enough to be washed in a washing machine.

Also the pillows should be designed to fit the mother’s body as only one hand will be available for the mother and this makes the job difficult to the mother to handle the baby.
