I found this more useful for propping baby up during playtime rather than using it for feedings. It never stayed put for me. Maybe I was doing it wrong?
I have breastfed two kids for 2 years each and these pillows are part of my "must have" items. These pillows are great for you to use as a pillow for yourself and I find that my kids like to use them for themselves too. These are a must for any parent and can really help during breastfeeding as well as with bottle feeding your infant.
This feeding Pillow saved my life. It is so versatile and no matter what I still find uses for it.
Great for feeding, but would b/c I'm petite, the boppy was too big and there was always a gap between the boppy and my stomach, so I needed to put a blanket in the gap so that the baby didn't fall in. Or I would have to put a pillow behind my back. However, it does have a multiple uses - it's great for keeping my son from falling backwards when he was first learning to sit up. I also use it to keep my son from rolling over when I changed him by putting his head in the hole. So I'd still choose this one over my breast friend b/c it can be used for longer and more things.
I loved it while nursing for the first my months, and during naptime especially while the baby was sleeping - I was reading, and she was close by to still know that I was there.
If you breastfeed this will be your best friend. I have one in the house and one in the car.
i have two of these pillows and I have really enjoyed them. I keep one at my moms house for visits and the other one in the nursery. Great for supporting the baby to sit up and covenient for breastfeeding. love it!
The Boppy is Mommy's best friend whether you breast feed or not!
If you are having a baby, you HAVE to get a Boppy! I don't know what I would have done without it!
I used my Bobby everyday with my son until he was about 7 months old! I used it mostly for breastfeeding but also sometimes as a pillow too. Having gone through a C-section it really helped and was SOOO comfortable! I don't know how people nurse their kids without this product! The slip cover was durable but also really easy to clean. Now (at one year) my son is too big to use it when breastfeeding but both my husband & I use it when laying done on the couch as a neck & shoulder pillow... It's GREAT!
great product for newborns!!!
i love this pillow my 2 year old still using it
there are few products that you "really" need when you have a child, contrary to the many marketing campaigns of all of the baby products out there...BUT, this IS one that you should have on your baby registry. even if you do not breastfeed, this is wonderful to sit the baby on while you are bottle feeding. for breastfeeding it is indispensable, as well it is great for tummy time. one product, many great uses.
While I loved my boppy, I have to say that its not the most comfortable thing for someone who is on the 'slightly fluffy' side (I'm a size 14, not huge by any means, but not petite either). I've found its GREAT for tummy time and for propping my littles ones up, but for nursing its easier to use a standard pillow.
i love my boppy - really is great for breastfeeding. My baby is comfortable nursing and then falling asleep on the boppy while in my lap. It does also work great to support him when sitting up. It is a good idea to have at least two covers so that you can switch one while washing the other. There is even an organic version of boppy and boppy covers. The boppy 'miracle middle' is a little more stretchy in the center so that it fits all shapes and sizes.
