Im currently using the Boppy pillow, I received as a baby shower gift.
I dont really like how low it is, I have to prop it up with pillows and its still uncomfortable. I have to sit straight up, and my arms get so tired from holding my baby girl up.
She is only 6 weeks 5 days ancient. I reckon I need a new pillow, but I dont know whats out there, and I want the right one this time.
I do like the different ways you can use the Boppy, but its not ideal for breastfeeding, at least for me.
Using just a pillow worked in the hospital but for some wits it doesnt at home. I have to hold her up. And she sometimes eats for an hour!
I do stick pillows under the boppy. It just doesnt matter.
Ive place pillows on the sides under the boppy so my arms would be higher.
It just doesnt make sense because im such a small person

I loved my boppy! It was the kind with a miracle middle though, so it was really soft.
I’ve heard “my breast friend” is really excellent too though. Though, often all through the night I would just end up using a pillow off our bed, and that would work just as well

I have a Boppy as well and it is ok for nursing. I have not tried it, but the lactation consultants at the hospital told me that the My Breast Friend pillow is fantastic. You can get them at babies r us, and like the boppy, they aren’t that cheap – about $40.

I have the Jolly Jumper brand nursing pillow, but found it got flat. Could you just stick another pillow under your Boppy? Would that help bring it up quicker?
*edit* Can you use pillows to prop your amrs up instead of propping your daughter up?
