Great pillow, I could never figure out the best way to use it for nursing. I used it more to put my kids on before they could move. My daughter sleeps with it now.
I love the Boppy pillow, and so does my son. It's very comfortable to him. I sit him in it when I breastfeed him or when we watch TV together. I love the cleaning instructions, and the tennis ball tip (they tell you to use a tennis ball to prevent shrinkage).
YES! One of the baby products I can't live without! I would highly suggest this product!
A lot of people love using the boppy for breastfeeding. I don't enjoy using it for that purpose however my husband enjoys bottlefeeding our newborn in one of these. It's also very helpful for tummy time and it has really strengthened our newborn's muscles. He is only 1 month old and has been lifting up his head real high and turning to the sound of our voices (thanks for allowing me to have a proud mommy moment). Our older children never had a boppy and we don't remember them being able to do the same thing so very early on. Of course, every child is different.
I love my boppy! It helped so much the first couple months when I would feed my son. Now 6 months later we still use it for the other uses that it can be used for.
I found using the boppy (with both of my kids) as a tool to help when nursing, not comfortable at all. The boppy is supposed to go around you as a support and you set the baby while in your arms on the boppy but it would not fit around me comfortably and kept pushing away from my body so the baby and my arms would drop though the hole. Especially since I had a C-section, it would hurt me more than help to use it for nursing support. Now, I do love it to prop my baby on so she can watch me to she can hold toys in her hand since she cannot fully support herself yet. It helps keep her from rolling over. I did the same with my first child as well and found it to be useful when they are starting to sit up on their own, it helps stabilize them to sit up longer and strengthens their abdominal muscles. My oldest child, now 3 yrs old, loves to use it as a pillow on the floor to watch cartoons too.
I loved the boppy pillow when my baby was a newborn for breast feeding its thick and holds with great support. Now that she's on sippy cups I use with her still!
I hardly used this pillow. I won't be buying it again.
I absolutely love my boppy pillow. While I can breastfeed my child without it, I certainly find it considerably more comfortable to use it. I found it very helpful when she was a newborn and I was struggling to figure out the best way to feed her. Not only is it useful for breastfeeding, it helped with tummy time when my baby hated it and was a good prop when she was just learning to sit up. I think she practically lived on the thing, because there are hardly any pictures of her in the beginning without the pillow in some part of the background. Best thing ever. I tried another one that I received as a gift, but liked the boppy much better.
This has proven to be a great product with both of my children not only when I nursed them but as they learned to sit up and for tummy time. I continued to use the Boppy pillow even after my babies outgrew its original purposes for comfort on airplane rides because refrigerator was something they were familiar with and refrigerator made a good body pillow for them as toddlers!
This is a lifesaver. they are super comfortable, durable, and easy to clean. We still love our boppy pillows.
helps a lot on getting baby to attach to the nipple.
The Boppy has been one of the most useful baby products for me through nursing. It did take time to get used to but so does nursing. Another pro to the Boppy is that you can get different covers for when you need to wash one or if you have another baby you can decorate your bobby to their gender!
This is a mommy must have, not only did i use to breast feed my baby but i also used it for tummy time, to help support him when sitting down and also it helped me sleep so much better when i was pregnant.
Every mom I know highly recommended the boppy for nursing. I never got the hang of using it.... it seemed awkward and unnatural to use then. But when it came to tummy time, and eventually helping my daughter sit up on her own, it as the absolute bomb!
