Pillows can help ease many discomforts after cesarean section deliveries. You may use a pillow to elevate your head from your body to have better air circulation in the airways after C-section. Elevating the head with pillows can also prevent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). You may use pillows to support your back while sitting on the bed after C-section. They can also be used to support arms while breastfeeding the baby (1).
