Twin Z vs My Brest Friend Twin: Best Twin Nursing Pillow in Canada
If you're expecting twins, you've probably narrowed it down to two names: the Twin Z Pillow and the My Brest Friend Twin. Both let you feed two babies at once. They just go about it in very different ways. Here's an honest side-by-side, written for Canadian parents, so you can pick the one that fits how you'll actually feed.
Short answer: choose My Brest Friend Twin if tandem breastfeeding is the main job and you want a firm, level surface that clips on and stays put. Choose Twin Z if you want one soft pillow that also handles bottle feeding, tummy time and propping. See the My Brest Friend Twin Plus.
The core design difference
My Brest Friend Twin is a wide, firm, flat platform that wraps around your waist and fastens at the back. Both babies sit at the same height, level with the breast, and the pillow doesn't slide as you move. It's built for one thing: supported tandem feeding.
Twin Z is a soft, Z-shaped pillow that wraps around your back and sides. It's sold as a "6 uses in 1" pillow, covering breastfeeding, bottle feeding, tummy time, reflux support and even pregnancy support. That flexibility is the big draw. The trade-off is that it doesn't strap on, so it can shift during a feed.

Which one suits you?
Choose My Brest Friend Twin if you plan to breastfeed both babies together and want the setup to be the same every single time. A firm, level surface means less adjusting, less leaning forward and less strain on your back through the many feeds a day twins need. It's the one lactation consultants most often reach for when a parent is learning to tandem feed.
Choose Twin Z if you'll mostly bottle feed, want a pillow that does double duty for tummy time and propping, or prefer a softer feel.
Not sure you'll tandem feed? Some parents start with one baby at a time. We compared that option in Twin Plus vs two single pillows.
Twin Plus or Professional Twin?
My Brest Friend makes two twin models, both available from Adorling:
- Twin Plus: extra-wide firm platform with a removable, machine-washable slipcover. Fits most waists from about 32" to 46". The right pick for most families at home.
- Professional Twin: the same wide platform with an antimicrobial, wipe-clean surface. Made for clinics and hospitals, and popular with parents who want to wipe it down between feeds instead of washing a cover.
A note on safe use
Whichever pillow you choose, it's for feeding only. Use it while babies are awake and supervised, and never for sleep. Read our nursing pillow safety guide for the details.
Common questions
Is Twin Z or My Brest Friend better for breastfeeding twins?
For tandem breastfeeding, many parents prefer My Brest Friend Twin because it fastens around your waist and keeps both babies on a firm, level surface. Twin Z is softer and more multipurpose, which suits parents who also want it for bottle feeding and tummy time.
Can I use a twin nursing pillow for one baby?
Yes. Both work for a single baby, and the extra room is handy for larger babies or bottle feeding.
Which twin pillow is best after a C-section?
A pillow that fastens around your waist, like My Brest Friend Twin, keeps the babies lifted off your lap, which many parents find more comfortable while healing.
