What is the difference between the Full Moon and the Half Moon Nursing Nest?

The BellaMoon Full Moon 7-in-1 Pregnancy & Nursing System is an entire system with 7 different functions in one box.  It is ideal for pregnant mums who are keen to try breastfeeding.

The system contains a New Moon Pregnancy pillow - which has been designed to provide comfort for mum the whole way through her pregnancy and right the way through her breastfeeding journey.

Breastfeeding can be exhausting, that’s what has drawn us to the lateral breastfeeding position in the first place, but unsupported, it can take a toll on your body leaving it achy, knotted and tense. The addition of the New Moon Mothers pillow as part of the Full Moon alleviates all this pain, allowing mum to melt into every feed. As part of the Full Moon, you also get an Eclipse privacy nursing cover which doubles up to form the base of the Full Moon. This is especially useful for new mums who may be nervous about breastfeeding in public. The Half Moon Nursing Nest completes the Full Moon, providing baby with a safe space to nurse.

On the other hand, the Half Moon Nursing Nest alone is ideal for new mums who have recently just discovered BellaMoon after giving birth. New, tired mums who are craving the restfulness of the lateral breastfeeding position with mum's comfort being less of a priority. We understand budget can be tight for new mums, especially when on maternity leave meaning the Half Moon Nursing Nest is the best choice for some.

Can I buy the parts separately?

Yes. In our new 2020 Collection you can now buy separately, each individual part that forms the Full Moon, meaning you can spread the cost, purchase at each stage or get gifted from different people.

Do I need to buy the base?

We do recommend that you buy the base if you are wanting to build a BellaMoon Full Moon. The base physically attaches the New Moon Pillow to the Half Moon Nursing Nest to ensure greater security. It also doubles up as a Nursing Privacy cover for when you’re out and about.

What’s the difference between BellaMoon ‘New Moon’ Pregnancy Pillow and other pregnancy pillows?

The BellaMoon New Moon 4-in-1 Pregnancy Pillow is like no other pregnancy pillow on the market.

Throughout your pregnancy journey, the full sized, 1.4metres long pillow is designed to support you and your growing bump, providing you with extreme comfort and ease, especially targeting those pregnancy related pain and pressure points in the neck, shoulders, back and hips. But, what really sets the BellaMoon Pregnancy Pillow apart from others is its continued functionality, right the way through until baby is 18 months old. The ends zip off and come together to form a smaller C-shaped pillow which is perfect for upright nursing in those early months. In this position, it can also be used as a baby lounger around the house. The oblong middle section is designed to be used as a tummy time pillow. But perhaps, what is particularly unique and allows it to stand out from others is that it can be attached to our Half Moon Nest along with the Eclipse to form the Full Moon. The complete system allows breast-feeding mothers to relax and melt into every feed, lying down in a safe and ultra-comfortable cocoon, getting some much-needed rest whilst nourishing and bonding with their little baby.

Can I change the covers?

Yes we sell separate covers online. You can remove and wash your cover or swap it out for a new design.

What age is BellaMoon suitable for?

The FullMoon is suitable from pregnancy right up until 18 months.
The Half Moon is suitable from birth to 18 months.
The Swaddle Blankets are suitable from birth to 6 months. (Once baby gets too big / able to roll and/or break free from its swaddle, they make a perfect pram or cot blanket.)
The Bamboo Swaddle Sets are suitable from birth to approx. 3 months.

How should I store my BellaMoon?

Each and every BellaMoon product has been designed with style at the forefront to ensure that our products can be a gorgeous addition to your décor. We recommend storing the New Moon Pregnancy/Mothers pillow along the top of your bed pillows where it can be made into a feature of your bedroom interior. The Half Moon Nest can be stored in crib or cot when baby is not present or simply on top of the bed.

The BellaMoon Travel and Storage Bag will be available in late 2020. It is perfectly sized to fit your Full Moon, Half Moon or New Moon products, alongside some accessories.

We will be making replacement covers available in late 2020/early 2021.  You can currently purchase replacement Anti-Roll Fin by emailing us at info@bellamoon.co.

Can I leave my baby to sleep in a Half Moon in a crib?

We recognise that you will often feed your baby to sleep.

BellaMoon is ideal for nursing baby to sleep, however, if you intend to leave your baby unsupervised, we recommend that you transfer baby out of its Nursing Nest to their own separate sleep surface.  We have demonstrated how to do this many times on our social media Instagram Stories – click here to view.

We recommend that parents follow the safe sleep guidance issued by the Lullaby Trust, where all babies should be placed to sleep on their own separate sleep surface. 

Due to the breastfeeding nature of BellaMoon, babies will seek a mother’s breast therefore may move out of position in search of mother if she is not lying immediately adjacent in the lateral breastfeeding position.

For our user guidance video, click here.

Is the Half Moon Nursing Nest safe?

Yes – when used correctly and as intended, the Half Moon Nursing Nest is completely safe,  however there are some things you need to bear in mind when using a Nursing Nest.

The Half Moon Nursing Nest is designed for babies from 0-18 months under full supervision by an awake and alert adult.

Due to the breastfeeding nature of BellaMoon, babies will seek a mother’s breast therefore may move out of position in search of mother if she is not lying immediately adjacent in the lateral breastfeeding position.

Do NOT leave baby lying in BellaMoon without the immediate presence of Mother directly adjacent.

Keep BellaMoon away from walls or other vertical structures due to the risk that baby may move between BellaMoon and the side structure, become entrapped and suffocate.

For our user guidance video, click here.

Can I use the Half Moon or Full Moon for co-sleeping?

BellaMoon is designed for short intervals of day and night-time breastfeeding. Once breastfeeding is complete and baby has latched off, baby should be returned to sleep in their own separate sleep surface, in accordance with safe sleep guidance provided by the Lullaby Trust.

The Full Moon and Half Moon Nursing Nest are designed for lateral breastfeeding under full supervision by an awake and alert adult.

Research on bedsharing shows an increased risk of SIDS between 2 and 3 months.  This is a particularly vulnerable time, as babies lack good head control and are unable to control their airways.  Therefore, particular care should be taken with babies under 4 months old.

BellaMoon is not a cot, or a sleep positioner.  BellaMoon products are not recommended for co-sleeping. 

DO NOT use the Mother's Pillow within the adult bed at night-time as it may pose a suffocation hazard.

How soon can I use my nursing nest?

You can use your Full Moon or Half Moon Nursing Nest from birth to 18 months for lateral breastfeeding under full supervision by an awake and alert adult. .

You will generally find that it will take a few days for you to perfect your latch in the sitting up breastfeeding position in the early days.  The lateral feeding position is generally easier from Day 2 onwards.

If your baby is struggling with Colic, it may affect their ability to laterally feed until they are a few weeks old, however, this should get easier with time. If this happens, wait a few days and go back to your lateral feeding position once your baby is more settled.
