Nursing pillow?

Question

My Brest friend or a boppy? Which do you prefer? :) thanks!

Answer

I used a boppy for my first two children and purchased the brestfriend pillow for our new baby and have found that I definitely prefer the boppy. It seems a little more convienent to use for me, but 90% of the time I just prop him up on pillows around me 😄

Answer

I have both. By far the boppy. I use it so much more than the brest friend. It's so much more versatile. I don't just use it as a nursing pillow. I'll lay lo across it for tummy time, use it as a comfy neck pillow for myself. It fits around my stepson waist so we can just rest her on it when we let him hold her. I put it behind my back for lumbar support.

The brest friend is just sitting around unused.

Answer

Thanks for all the suggestions! My hospital gives me a free boppy at birth so I just wanted to make sure it would do the trick! :)

Answer

I liked the Brestfriend when my daughter was tiny like 1-4 weeks old. I like it but it is very hot to nurse in that thing for extended periods of time. I like my boppy a lot because my daughter uses it as a lounge chair when she is not eating and will nap

Answer

I love the brestfriend so far! My little one still hasn't hit ten pounds though so maybe I will change my mind when she is bigger. I hated the boppy for nursing as it never helped get her positioning right. Brestfriend was a godsend for getting her on better. My husband and family members do use the boppy some while holding her.

Answer

I got a bobby & I actually use it now (LO is 5 months, but very small); at first I had my husband go out & buy two firm pillows & stacked them. I REALLY liked that & the football hold at first.

Answer

I recommend the one z nursing pillow... Most amazing nursing pillow ever

Answer

Never tried breast friend but love my boppy.

Answer

I got both as baby showers gifts, I've only used each once. Pillows are just way easier or carrying the baby and I had a big baby! We are 17 months into breastfeeding. In my opinion it isn't worth it.

Answer

I liked the Brest friend for the first few weeks, but when my baby got bigger the boppy worked way better.
