Best aid ever.

by Practical Mom 2008-02-12

I bought an older version in navy for my first-born 3 years ago. It is the best breastfeeding aid ever, making the Boppy look like a piece of trash. This thing is great. It straps on securely so your baby doesn't fall between you and the pillow; it offers great support for the kid; and because it is strapped on, you don't find yourself "hunching over" to keep your baby feeding--good on the back. If there was a 6 star rating I'd give it!

The Best Nursing Pillow Ever!

by Sharon O. Keller 2007-10-20

I tried the boppy first, but it constantly slipped out of place. My husband bought this for me to try because it wraps around and doesn't move. I was angry that he spent more money on another nursing pillow, but after using it I would have paid 5 times the amount. What a difference! It gives you lower back support and you can actually walk around and do stuff (one handed of course). I used mine for two kids and am now buying one for a baby shower gift. Highly recommended!

great for aching back

by rapp woman 2007-06-08

This pillow is wonderful for feeding baby. Holds him/her close to your body, and nearer to breast than a regular pillow or the boppy. I was having terrible backaches before I began to use this product, but the back support with the BrestFriend is great and I began to feel better. I used this throughout my home and even in the car. I don't think there is much difference between this version and the deluxe, except the deluxe version's strap has a velcro closure as well as a plastic closure. I bought this one because other mothers told me that when they pulled back the velcro, it woke the baby up. The plastic closure on this model works just fine, and opens quietly. My only complaint about the product is that the inside foam pillow is hard to clean (the baby had diaper leaks and of course milk leaked onto the pillow as well). I wish the manufacturer would provide a plastic cover between it and the slipcover. I also found it very challenging to get the slipcover back onto the pillow, so I always gave that job to my husband. All in all, it was very comfortable for baby, and great for my back!
