Absolutely not. Mothers have been breastfeeding infants since the beginning of time. A baby knows how to breastfeed. A nursing pillow will help to make you more comfortable by relieving strain that may be felt in your neck, arms and shoulders. It can also be used for tummy time, support while infant is learning how to sit, etc., however, it would be incorrect to tell you that you must have a nursing pillow in order to breastfeed successfully.
