Boppy vs. My Brest Friend

in October 2013 Moms

I'm hoping to get some opinions from some experienced mommies. I'm going to try breast feeding, and I'm looking at pillows for that.  What are you thoughts on Boppy (lounger or pillow) vs. My Brest Friend?  And just for fun, what was the best thing you got at your baby shower?

    We had both the first time around. For breastfeeding i liked the brest friend SO much more. It had a little pocket for nipple cream, burp cloth, etc and it strapped around your waist and provided lower back support.

    The boppy was nice to have for tummy time for DS and to use as support when he was learning to sit, but i didn't like it for BF.

    Best thing we got at baby shower was our travel system, pack n play, and the exercise mat for baby...couldn't have lived without it! Oh and his little vibrating chair!

    I didn't have both, but I liked the Boppy. I had one for each level of the house!

    i hated the breast friend (Not to mention the douchey name ugh!)   the stiffness made things more difficult for me, not easier. wrapping around my waist was an extra step that was annoying too.   boppy was easier to mold for diff. positions (i had to start out with the football hold)

    I didn't care for the breast friend. The Boppy wasn't the most amazing for BFing, and I always needed more pillows, but I found it more dual use. It's an amazing "baby propping device" and really good for babies who hate tummy time. DD1 had a spot of reflux and I could lay her on it and she'd be a little reclined. We also used ours to help DD1 learn how to sit and as an obstacle when she was learning to crawl.

    i had both, but i used the boppy first because the cover was easier to put back on after i washed it. the MBF sat there until i was healed a little bit more and could struggle to put the cover back on! but after i started the MBF, i never went back. i don't like the boppy.
