I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'hushaby' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'baby supporter' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bough that I've seen before include "Substantial branch of a tree" , "Main branch (of tree)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
