Boppy pillow vs. Breastfriend. Which one do you prefer?
I have the boppy pillow and used it for DS. It worked fine, but I'm wondering if the Breastfriend might be a little easier to use. It looks like it keeps the baby in a better postion for nursing. It also looks more comfortable to use. I know if has the option to wear it while you walk around. Not sure if I would do this, but its a good option when you have another child at home. Just seeing if I should spend the extra money.

Re: Boppy pillow vs. Breastfriend. Which one do you prefer?
I used a single breast friend in the nicu and thought it was great. at home I have a twin breast friend and 2 boppys (I have twins) I have used the boppys for nursing them separately and the breast friend is better. I only use the boppys for nursing if the breast friend is on the other floor and there is no chance I will be feeding them together. however we use the boppys every day as a place to put them in

I used the nippy to position her on the floor or couch but used the breast friend exclusively for breast feeding and it was great. Especially the first few months. When DD got older I retired the BF and used the boppy or whatever was around me. I would get both.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the my brestfriend. SO much better than the boppy.
I had the boppy to start with, and I found it hard to keep DD in the right position. THe brestfriend is awesome and she's always in the right spot. Plus, on the brestfriend she can roll back and hang out when she wants a break.
I wouldn't plan on wearing it around the house to hold the baby though, IMHO it's definitely not safe, the clip is not super secure.

Re: Boppy pillow vs. Breastfriend. Which one do you prefer?
Here is a thread, I asked when I was pregnant.
Now that DS is here, I prefer much more the breastfriend for nursing. The boppy doesn't stay anywhere close.

I had both and preferred the breastfriend by far. The boppy is good for other uses though, like positioning baby on couch or bed.
