 uh, not for me December 30, 2008

I used a boppy pillow with my first six yrs. ago. I couldn't find the old boppy so I decided to try the new nursing pillow.
It IS very supportive, it makes a shelf on your abdomen for your baby to lay on.
But...
-You can't safely hold baby while putting it on.
-It's quite large and an odd shape, which makes it difficult to store.
-It's pretty stiff and at times I feel like my baby is unsafe on the pillow (It feels like he's going to roll off).
The Boppy...
-Was more compact to store.
-I could swing it on and off without putting down my baby.
-It was multipurpose! I used it for nursing, tummy time, and for sitting baby in a reclined position, we had lots of fun with that boppy.
I have to find my Boppy!
 Wonderful nursing pillow -- invaluable! December 27, 2008

I am so glad I found out about My Brest Friend via navigating through Amazon.com. I got the Boppy first, and it is too soft to support my baby for nursing; it also constantly slips away from me, and my baby tends to slip between me and the Boppy. For these reasons, my back felt strained when I used the Boppy for nursing. Then, I bought "My Brest Friend" and it worked great -- all the problems that I just mentioned were solved -- it's firm and supportive, and it also "locks" around my waist so it won't slip. It wasn't perfect though; I still needed to use a small pillow or stuff a blanket between the MBF and my arm when my baby was less than 1 month old, but it was alot better than the Boppy. Now that my baby is more than 2 months old, I don't really need to use this pillow anymore for nursing, but i still use it to support his weight when I carry him around the house since he is quite heavy for my arm and back. The Boppy is NOT the ideal pillow for nursing, but it is good for letting my baby lie on to rest/sleep and as a support pillow for burping my baby in a sitting position, so I still recommend having a Boppy.
 A luxury item December 17, 2008
In general I'm glad that I own this product, but I am sure that I would be fine without it; it's a luxury item.
I bought the Brest Friend for breastfeeding my first baby. After trying it out on the first day home from the hospital, I thought I'd surely not use it because it was very awkward to use it while sitting in my glider and very difficult to use with any other hold but the cradling hold; the "football" hold was the easiest for me when I first trying to breastfeed and this hold was so clumsy using the Brest Friend that I just used my own bed pillows.
After 3 weeks of breastfeeding, though, I gave the Brest Friend another try and it turned out to be very convenient! I could now type at a keyboard, use a mouse, operate a remote control, even eat a sandwich while breastfeeding with the Brest Friend! It is, however, still awkward to get clipped on when holding a hungry, fussy baby :-/
If you have the $ for such a luxury item, it's nice to have around, but pillows work nearly as well ;-)
Lifesaver! December 16, 2008
This is a lifesaver especially if you have had a cesarean. Great backsupport and its great for baby to rest on while you breastfeed.
Great product! December 14, 2008
Great Product, offers needed back support, & pillow is firm so baby does not sink in, & you don't have to slouch.
