Off Topic- Boppy Yesterday Dh and I went to Once Upon A Child and bought a Boppy. When we got home…

I hated the boppy all around when I had it for Ds. I got another thing with dd I forget the name but it actually strapped on and was a firmer, more squared edges, nursing thingymabop. I'll see if I can find it online.

Found it. Called my brest friend.

I never used the boot for feeding....but I also didn't BF for long. I did use it to prop them up, and for tummy time!

I didn't breast feed but both of my kids loved their boppys for being propped up, tummy time, and later helped them sit up on their own as well

Thank you. I've heard of My Brest Friend. Did it work well for you and how long did you use it for? I've also heard that the Boppy has many uses and it's awesome to use for propping them up as well as tummy time so if nothing else, I'll at least get to use it for that.

I love my boppy! I've used it after all three csections. I wouldn't have physically been able to hold them up long enough to nurse bc I was in so much pain. In fact, I'm using mine as I type this. Ds loves taking naps in it as well. It's his favorite spot, so far. Well worth it to me.

I'm having a C-section this Thursday at 39 weeks due to Ds measuring in at 7 lbs 6 oz at 35+5 and then 9 lbs 2 oz at 37+6 week ultrasounds. I've also been concerned about being able to hold him up well enough for him to breastfeed so hopefully having the Boppy will help.

You won't regret having one after a csection, I assure you!

I had a c section and I can tell you My Breast Friend would have worked way better than the Boppy! I have both, started with a Boppy first and didn't care for it so I bought the other, if I had to only choose one I'd choose the My Breast Friend. It supports baby so much better just in general but especially if having a c-section.

I used the boppy at the beginning but not so much anymore. I did like it when I used it. When o was pregnant I would use it as a pillow to sit up in bed.

I just use pillows with all my kids to nurse them but I am a plus size mom. I did have a boppy for dd12 and picked one up at a garage sale for this newest one because they are nice for floor time.

I have pretty big boobs and found the boppy super useful. I used it till my DD was 18months old while breastfeeding.

I was told by a lot of friends and family to get a boppy for breast feeding, and I also ended up with a boppy lounger. I just decided to stick with it bc it will still help with bf. I've been told it would be nice to also have a regular boppy so you can wrap it around yourself while bf. But if I'm going to bf for awhile I might look into one of these other pillows you guys are talking about.

Just a side note, measurements are rarely correct. I had ds at 36 weeks due to health reasons and they'd measured him at 4lbs. Kid was 6,13! Dd they were worried dd was too small and at 37 weeks was only 4lbs. Had her a week later and she was 6,3! Way off.
