Did you find this helpful with positioning during feeding? My friend swears by hers, but I never really cared for mine. I used regular pillows and liked it better. If you don't know what these are they are the pillows shaped in alittle more than half a circle. Some use it to help breastfeed, others use it to position baby.

I was told that it was one of those things you couldn't live without...but I barely used mine!!! Thank good ness I got it second hand!!!!

I used mine all the time for feeding both my kids. They also liked to lay on them when they got a little bit bigger. There are some other "pillow" options out ther for breast feeders but my Boppy was well worth the $.

I loved mine also. I liked mine so much I thought how could someone not love this thing. I have very large breast and it was a savior to me for my back. I used to to nurse my dd would sleep in it when I had to get things done I think it made her feel like she was still being held.

I never really used mine that much. It worked great though when my younger kids wanted to hold the baby. It helped them to hold our DS up a little better.

I didn't like the Boppies I got. The top is curved, forcing baby to roll toward or away. My best friend was the Brest Friend nursing pillow. It wraps around you and buckles w/a snap, so if you have to get up, little baby can still rest on it (with you holding him). Its top is flat. It also has pockets for a bottle (for you and for baby) and snacks (for you), and a long pocket in front for a magazine. They have an inflatable one, too, for travel, and that cover is the same as the one for home, so I was able to have 2 covers for when one was in the wash. In fact, I need to get rid of mine, and was going to send it to consignment.

I -loved- my Boppy. I would sit in front of my computer, wrap it around my waist, and nurse my daughter while reading the news & answering email. It was sooooo nice. I wasn't planning on buying one, but my SIL gave me one as a present. I also used it to prop my daughter up when she was starting to sit by herself. It's truly awesome.

I loved mine as well. Used it with all 4 of my kids. I would also lay them on it as they got a little bigger to elevate them at times.

Yeah, boppy didn't work well for me either... I felt like I was too 'big' for it -- didn't wrap around me properly & I just couldn't get comfortable using it. Someone gave me one of those "Brest Friends" and I'm hoping that that'll work better (we'll find out in March when #2 makes his or her appearence!)

I just liked it for when baby was learning to sit up and to lay him on for tummy time.
