Off Topic- Boppy

Yesterday Dh and I went to Once Upon A Child and bought a Boppy. When we got home we realized that it was the Boppy Newborn Lounger. Has anyone used this? Dh thinks that it' may be okay to use the Lounger for breastfeeding and will be good to put the baby in to relax. Today we also went out and bought the regular breastfeeding Boppy from Target just in case. Will I really need both?

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.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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 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

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 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.

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.
