MoMs do you find Boppies useful?

I got an EZ-2-Nurse pillow for BFing but I have also heard that Boppies are good for holding babies in your lap, bottle feeding, and a variety of other purposes. Would you say that's true? They are 15% off at BRU.com now, so I was wondering if I should pick a couple up, or if I wouldn't really use them...

Re: MoMs do you find Boppies useful?
You NEED 2 boppies! They were and still are used every single day around here. At first I used them a lot for the girls to just lay in because they were comfortable there. As they learned to sit up we used them to put around them to help support them. Now we still use them daily for when we are bottle feeding them at the same time or for them to lay in while I'm reading to them.
You definitely want two!!
I had 2 boppies and I loved them! I used them to prop the boys when they were infants, then when they were able to control their heads better, I used them when I fed both boys at once, then I used it for tummy time and now I use them so that my boys can sit with the boppy around his bum so he doesn't fall backwards.
Oh yeah. Tandem bottle feeding especially.
My girls would also love to nap in them when they were sick.

I have 2 boppys and a boppy newborn lounger and I use them ALL THE TIME!
Especially the newborn lounger...I love putting both of them on it together to give them cuddle time together. And they love snoozing in it. I'll be so sad when they are too big to lie in it together, which will probably be really soon!
btw....I bought one of my boppys from a MoM sale and the other one from Craigslist. They are very easy to find used and you can wash both the boppy and the cover.
I got my Boppys for $16 each at HomeGoods. They were the ones with the slightly more expensive covers, too (BRU price is $44.50 for the Boppy with that cover).
Check your HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, and Ross before paying the BRU price!
we have 4 boppies - 2 upstairs, 2 downstairs, and use them all the time. Gibby is laying in one as we speak- he is more comfy in it so i let him nap in one. We used to use them for tummy time... now we use them all the time to put around them when they are sitting playing b/c they often fall backwards.
I never really used the boppies that much for feeding- but did for a ton of other things!
YES!!!!!!!
If there is one thing I am certain we used more than anything else, it's the boppies. We had two and needed two. We used them in the beginning just for when they were laying. And then also for laying in after having a bottle b/c they had a little bit of reflus. Then again for when we could feed them at the same time. Then I used them as an elevated way to sleep in the crib after a night feeding. Now for help when sitting up and sometimes I lay one in them if they need to have breathing treatment.
