EASYDAILY text presents 35 creative ideas on how to use a pregnancy pillow after pregnancy, making it useful in various situations. Whether it’s for comfort, decoration, or play, there are many ways to keep this pillow as part of your home.
Gift for Another Pregnant Woman
If you have a friend or family member expecting a baby, consider gifting them a pillow.
Selling the Pillow
You can sell the pillow on websites that specialize in this type of product.
Filling for Other Pillows
The filling from a pregnancy pillow can be used as filling for other pillows, while pillowcases can be purchased ready-made if desired. This eco-friendly option helps reduce waste and provides additional comfort options.
Door Stops
Make a few door stops in the shape of a bag, which you can fill with pebbles for extra weight. These creative and practical accessories can be useful in any home.
Medical Neck Pillow
Create a pillow that provides support for the neck and helps relax the muscles.
Imitation Sofa Backrest
Divide the pillow into two parts and fold them to create larger pillows that imitate a backrest in case that sofa does not have backrest.
Accessory for Complete Relaxation
You can shape the pillow into a “donut” and use it for comfortable seating while watching TV.
Support for Reading
Bend the ends down and use the pillow as support for reading a book.
Comfortable Position for Nursing
It’s important for the baby to be in a tilted position while nursing.
Comfort During Travel
Shorten the ends of the pillow to serve as head support for the child.
Filling the Gap Between Beds
If the double bed is in two parts, or is a pull-out sofa, place the pillow in the middle and cover it with a sheet, it will ensure that the middle part is comfortable for sleeping.
Ottoman Pillow for the Kids’ Room
Wrap the pillow into a snail shape or tie it into a knot.
Support for Baby in the Crib
Use the pillow as support for the baby while they sleep “on side”.
Winter Duvets for Strollers
Remove enough filling, cut the pillow into two flat lengths, each length into 2/3 and 1/3, then pull the 1/3 over the 2/3 to create a “pocket” for the baby. This is also how sleeping bags are made.
Donut Shape for Pets
Join the ends of the pillow to create a donut shape.
Support for Baby’s Exercise or Feeding
Place the baby on their stomach and cross their arms over to make them comfortable and occasionally change position. This provides support during bottle feeding to prevent choking.
Montessori Bed for Two
If you have a larger bed for a child, a great idea is to make two long pillows for sleeping or play from this pillow.
Original Cushions
Make smaller cushions and insert them into shirts or bags.
Creative Shapes – Toys for Kids
Tie segments with a string to create shapes like “worms” or “centipedes.”
Baby monthly pictures
Use pregnancy pillow to make a clock with numbers.
Chair for Baby or Older Children
Shorten the ends and add a piece on top so that the pillow looks like a mini child’s chair with back support for the baby. For older children, fold the ends of the pillow toward the floor and tie or sew a Velcro strap; add a cushion in the middle for extra comfort.
Decorative Pillows
You can use pillows as decorative accents. Make smaller pillows in pink or blue for a child’s room to match the bedspread.
Garden Chair Cushions
Use the pillow as several cushions for garden chairs; simply cut it into pieces, remove excess filling, and sew.
Pumpkin Shape from Pillow
Remove the filling from the pillow and using additional material and string, create shapes of small pumpkins or one large pumpkin.
Baby Nest
Insert the pillow into a sheet along with a smaller mattress.
Shaping Around Crib Posts
Remove 2/3 of the filling and wrap the pillow around the crib posts to prevent the baby from hitting their head against the slats.
Protection from Walls
Make two long pillows so that children don’t hit their heads against the wall while adjusting to sleeping in a larger bed and new space.
Safety in the Bed
Place the pillow in the middle of the marital bed to ensure the small baby doesn’t fall off the bed. While this is popular, it shouldn’t be done. It can prevent someone from hitting the baby during sleep, but there’s a risk of suffocation if the baby turns towards that pillow. Caution is needed with any type of framing around the baby with pillows, although this is currently very popular.
Additional bed on floor
For pajama party you always need some pillow extra. In case the child is sick, you can place a bed next to the child’s bed.
Protection from Radiators
The pillow can serve as a barrier against metal radiators, but be careful that the radiators are not hot so the pillow doesn’t catch fire; it’s best to do this in the summer when the radiators are cold.
Terrace Protection
Use the pillow on the terrace during summer days to prevent toys from slipping under the metal railing and falling off the terrace, ensuring the child doesn’t hit the railing or surrounding wall.
Additional Element for Play
Use the pillow as an extra element for play in a tent.
Masquerade Mask
You can use the pillow as a masquerade mask, for example, as a “muscle man” for boys or as a “little mermaid” for girls.
Fabric Balls
Create fabric balls that can be used as toys.
Seasonal Toys
Create fun toys like Snowman or animal figures to be used in various seasons.
