My Breast Friend Nursing Pillow---reviews?

Anyone have this pillow, can you give me a review of it? Do you like it? Im having difficulty latching DS on my left boob, like my right one mostly and the LC mentioned trying this pillow out since he keeps sliding off the Boppy. Do you like it?

I loved this pillow for BFing! I found it to be much more comfortable for me and DD. The Brest Friend has a strap so you can adjust it as tight as you like. I hated that the boppy would just slide down as I was nursing. The boppy was definitely great..just not for BFing IMO.

I used this all the time in the beginning. Loved it! Once latching and positioning became like 2nd nature (when she got a little bigger and sturdier), I stopped using it though.

i liked this pillow specifically when my DD was very small. i used it mostly in the NICU. when i got home we found a few positions that worked best for us and i haven't used it much since. but i do think it can be very useful, especially for small babies.

I found it very useful for sitting on the couch or in bed, its nice to have something sturdy to support the baby.

Hmmm, Im kinda opposite...I LOVE this pillow and still use it & DD is 3 months old, but in the very beginning, I found it easier to use a regular bed pillow. Now, I leave the Breast Friend upstairs and the Boppy downstairs for feedings. The Breast Friend is def easier to use in bed bc of the back support though!

I was opposite BUT I only lasted a month BFing, so I might not be the best person to respond. It drove me nuts, I loved the boppy so much more.

This! Breastfeeding is so much easier with the my Breast Friend Pillow. When I don't have it I feel lost without it.

I have one and never used it. BFing didn't happen for us so it just wasn't used. I'll sell it at a discount if you want it! FM me Chat Icon
