Unboxing your Formi? Here's everything you need to get the most out of it: expert-backed setup tips, and real advice from parents who've been there.
Unboxing your Formi? Here's everything you need to get the most out of it: expert-backed setup tips, and real advice from parents who've been there.
1. Find your spot. Couch, armchair, nursery chair or dining seat, wherever you feel most at ease.
2. Position your Formi. Place it under your feet so your knees sit slightly higher than your hips.
3. Build a relaxed foundation. Feet hip-width apart, aiming for soft 90-degree angles through your knees and hips.
4. Shoulders soft, baby up. Lean back, relax your shoulders and bring baby towards you. No more hunching forward.
5. Rock or rest. The curved base lets you gently rock for a little movement during long feeds, or stay still for steady support.
Pro tip: On smooth floors? Add the Formi Grip for extra stability.

Move it with you. Formi is light enough to carry between rooms.
Works with most chairs. Try it on all your favourites.
More than feeding. Just as good for skin-to-skin and wind-down time.
Beyond parenting, too. Just as supportive at your desk, study or home office.
Most parents say the same thing: once you try it, you won't want to feed (or sit) without it.

Good feeding posture isn't about sitting perfectly. It's about not fighting your body for hours a day.
With your feet lifted and your knees a little higher than your hips, your pelvis settles, your back has support, and your shoulders can soften.
You sit back instead of hunching forward. Over 1,800 hours of feeding in the first year, that small shift adds up.
That's all Formi does. And it's the thing that makes the difference.

"The products we designed for Formi are examples of the best of design. The products result from a clear human need to physically support mums as they do the important work of feeding.
As designers, we were able to gently allow the natural dignity of feeding not to be interrupted by the lazy design that is often evident in the market.
The project was female-led, and all assumptions were tested and refined. I am very proud of what my team produced, and I like to think we have made the world a slightly better place through this important work."
