I am not liking my boppy pillowI currently use 3 pillows to get enough support for feeding. I am looking for other options, especially when I traveling. TIA

    This though I've never tried the Boppy.   The lactation consultants at the hospital I delivered at actually recommended My Breastfriend pillow over the Boppy.

    In the beginning I put a pillow under the Boppy, now I'm happy with just the Boppy. It is one from several (5+) years ago though so maybe it's thicker than newer ones.

    I had both and I preferred the Brestfriend. It's much more supportive.

    I really like the boppy, but I think it only works because of the way it nestles into the chair I am using. On it's own, I can see how it would not be enough. My friend swears by the Lullaby Luna pillow. It is fluffier than the boppy and is in an L shape instead of the C shape.

    This.  I bought the boppy but didn't like it.  Tried this one at the LC office and loved it and bought one on the spot from the LC.

    The Jolly Jumper Babysitter pillow is what I've been using for a year now. I got it secondhand and I adore it.

    i hated boppy until dd was about 5 months.  i never got breastfriend, but i wish i had for the early months.  i found that she slipped off the boppy easily in the beginning.  at about 5 months she was big enough to really lay corretly on the boppy and now i love it.  i also loved using it for tummy time when she was starting to gain neck strength and as a pillow to help her sit up.  i wouldn't buy one for nursing in the beginning, but i woudl for nursing later on. (dd is now 7 months)
