Maternity Table

Not all maternity cushions are the same

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I start using it in pregnancy?

Any time. Use it upright behind your back for sitting support, then flat as a seat cushion after birth.

Can I use it while feeding my baby?

Yes, as back support for you while you sit and feed. The Tush is for adults only. Never use it to hold, prop or position your baby, and never let your baby sleep on it.

Can I use it in the car while pregnant?

Yes, as a passenger or driver. Set it up before you drive, readjust your seat and mirrors, and make sure your lap belt sits low under your bump across your hips, with the shoulder belt between your breasts and off your belly.

Is it a good gift?

It's one of our most-gifted items for baby showers and new parents. Add a gift message at checkout and we'll print it on the packing slip.

What comes with my order?

Every Tush order includes our free nurse-created resources by email, including the Bottom Up Method™.

Is it a medical device?

No. It's a comfort product, not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

For adult use only. Never use to hold, prop or position a baby, and never let a baby sleep on or with it.
