Moms, did you love your Boppy?

I love the boppy that I used for my daughter and now am expecting am gonna buy a new one again. My daughter love it when she was little. I end up buying two boppys because our miniature daschund loved it so much that. His little body fits on it and when I took the baby out, he will be the one to get in. So, I have to find one for him too and until now, he still got it. It is his favorite place to nap.

I'm fat, so no, it didn't work well for me at all. It was too small and uncomfortable for me, and my son, when he was born, was over 10 pounds, and he was too big to hold in the front, with that huge pillow with my huge boobs. I held him in a football hold and I used a much flatter pillow to help angle him a bit. My husband, however, loved the boppy. He would put it in his lap while sitting in a chair at the computer and then use it to support our son in his lap. We used it ALL the time for the baby to lay on the floor somewhat upright too and on his belly. I think that it was worth the money that we spent on it, and we kept it so that when we do have another, we don't have to buy it again.

Walmart has one of those types of pillows and they're about $23 instead. They sell pretty good. Whether they're really that useful I can't personally say. :( Wishing you all the best :)

I used mine more for the first one than for the second. I loved it, it worked pretty well. YOu will most likely have to stuff a pillow or something under it, to get it high enough, but its better than killing your arms trying to hold the baby while you nurse. It's not so bad if you have a smaller baby, as it's not as hard to hold them while they nurse, but my first was large, (which is why I used it so much)but my second was almost 2 pounds lighter (he was 9 pounds), so I didn't really start using it for a while. It's great for when they are learnign to sit up too, you just put it around them, and you don't have to worry about them falling over too much. ITs great for belly time before that too. So, yes, they can be expensive, but it's worth it. YOu can find them at Target for 20.00 or so (I just bought one for my sister) but make sure you get a cover, because they'll spit up, and poop on it as soon as you get it home. (: You could always look for one at a consignment shop and buy a cover for it, that way you aren't shelling out alot of money for it. Congrats on the baby! (:

I have a boppy and I rarely use it. I think that a regular pillow would work just as well. I have even thought of going to Walmart and buying a cheap pillow that is a little bit longer than normal pillows. I think that it would work great as a nursing pillow.

I found the boppy very hard to use, although I havent met another person who has agreed with me! I just couldnt get it positioned right, and he didnt stay on it. I just sat in a recliner with arm rests, put my knee on the army rest and put my elbow on my leg. It was so comfortable for me, and much more natural. But, everyone else I talk to says they loved theirs.

I got a Boppy for my second one and used it and then loaned it to a friend of ours who had just had a C section, come to think of it I need to get that back lol, and it worked great for her. I would deffinatly recommend it especially if you have a C section. Also I agree to check the yard sales first.
