My #1 Can't-Live-Without Item!
I *love* the boppy for breastfeeding. It wraps so well around my waist so my little guy is positioned snug against me, tummy-to-tummy, and we're both relaxed and comfortable. It really makes the cross-cradle hold very easy, since the boppy supports his body right in my lap. My baby gets so excited when he sees the boppy come out, because he knows it's feeding time! I wish I had a 2nd or even 3rd boppy, one for every room where I'm nursing him.

These were not made for nursing.
This pillow was originally created as something that would allow babies to sit up on their own to provide a soft surface around their back and sides in case they fall over. It was a marketing device to sell these as nursing pillows. The midwives and nursing consultants I've all spoken with hate this pillow for nursing. Unfortunately I thought this would make a great nursing pillow and so bought it before my baby was born and have wished ever since that I bought a real nursing pillow. What I ended up doing was putting this on my lap even though it comes too far around my back and so leaves a space between myself and my baby which she regularly falls into and then putting a second regular bed pillow on top so that she doesn't roll around. Because the boppy is round my baby is very unstable on my lap without another pillow on top, it also doesn't lift her up high enough without a second pillow. For a long time I only used two bed pillows and that was enough, so if you can't afford a real nursing pillow you can just use a couple bed pillows. <

>When using this to sit up please know that it cause physical problems for a baby if they sit up a lot before they can get up on their own. So please be careful that you don't use this too much with your baby before they can get up on their own. I never used this for my baby during tummy time. I found she has gotten moving very quickly by just putting her belly down. She didn't like it at first, but I'd just pick her up when she started fussing (even if it was just a few moments) and over the months she has liked it more and more and can now spend up to an hour on her tummy going all over the living room (she is six months old). So I really haven't found much use for it except for forcing myself to use it as a nursing pillow since I don't want to spend the money on a good one. Just know that it may frustrate you if you try to use it for nursing. <

>I gave it four stars because it works great for what it was originally designed for - to protect your sitting baby in case he/she falls over, but they advertise it as a nuring pillow which it was not well designed for. <
