Anyone buying/bought or used the BrestFriend nursing pillow? I'm considering buying one but want to make sure it's worth it. I'm willing to try almost anything that will making nursing easier and more comfortable this time around. I had a hard time of it last time with DS and would love to make it longer than a couple months this time around.

    Just bought one after my breastfeeding class instructor expressed a preference for breast friend over Boppy and showed us how they work and it looked great. Highly recommended by a few friends, too.

    I also have a Boppy that I got as a gift I figure that wil be good for bottles and for DH to use. Beauty of the BF is that it can be secured higher up on your body which brings the baby closer to the breast so you don't have to bent over as much.

    BFP is superior in the beginning with newborns. It's stiffer and sits higher up. Eventually the boppy is fine. Also BFP is more difficult to remove the cover. I broke the zipper after first wash so I ended up returning it.

    I absolutely loved mine.  It gave us the support we needed.  After the third or fourth month I didn't need it anymore but it was a lifesaver in those early days where alllll you do is sit there and nurse.

    I used a BFP with DS and really liked it, will use it again with LO. It wraps all the way around so it provides some lumbar support, which I found comfy. I also liked that it clipped on.
    That said, once LO got a little bigger I switched to the Boppy. The Boppy is easier to take on and off quickly since there is no clip. DS had a couple of diaper blowouts while nursing I know, super gross and it was nice to be able to get cleaned up quick and easy!
