way better than boppy!

by A. McMahon 2008-10-25

This pillow is so much better than the boppy which I used with my first son. Now with my second son I use the breast friend pillow and love it. Only complait is that it is a pain to fasten and unfasten but it really helps it stay in place which makes it worth the few extra seconds!

The only breast pillow.

by Jacob's Momma 2008-07-12

I tried using the boppy pillow. Our boy couldn't lay straight with my breast. And his body was sinking on each side. We had to prop pillows under both sides. We went to our lactation consultant appointment at our pediatrician and this is the pillow that they used. Our boy laid perfectly with my breast and man it was so much easier to nurse! Our lactation consultant even told me that the boppy pillow was NEVER designed to be a nursing pillow but they advertise it as one. This pillow was specifically designed for nursing. At the beginning I didn't think that nursing was going to work for me, but after going in for my lactation consultant appointment I was taught how to properly latch my baby on and I had found the proper pillow to use to make it easier on my boy and myself. We have a My Brest Friend for home and one in the car for on the go. I have now been successfully nursing for going on 9 months now. Please do not buy the Boppy.

Wonderful!!! Better than the Boppy!

by Misty Price 2008-04-04

I breast fed with my first child and I had the Boppy. I thought the boppy was good. But when i saw this it looked even better. I thought, if I don't like it, I can return it. It is wonderful! I am so glad I made the investment. You will have much more flexibility in positioning and comfort with this vs. the boppy!

The best nursing pillow - hands down

by Laurie Gonzalez Milliron 2008-02-25

This is really the best nursing pillow on the market. This is the nursing pillow that is recommended by lactation consultants. I can really see why. I really love this one. It has made my breastfeeding experience so pleasurable. This pillow brings baby into the perfect position for nursing. It also fastens around your waist so that the pillow is snug around you and the baby does not roll into the middle of the pillow like with the Boppy. It also has a pocket to keep nursing pads, pacifiers and other small items. The slipcover also washes up really nicely too. This is one of my favorite breastfeeding accessories and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wouldn't breastfeed without it!

by Laura A. Harger 2007-12-06

If you're a first-time mother, buy this pillow and take it to the hospital with you! Even after visits from two lactation consultants, I was in tears trying to prop my baby up on eight million bed pillows and position him for nursing. But this pillow can be strapped on easily even when you're sleep-deprived, and it makes angling and positioning the baby very, very easy. Cannot recommend it more highly.
