This is a very creative invention! I wasn't sure how well the pillow would 'fit' or if it would be any better than a regular pillow, but it turned out to fit very comfortably and baby can lie easily on his side to nurse - my arms are free and don't get tired trying to hold him in the right position. The other use of the pillow is great with the toy attachments. Baby can sit comfortably in the pillow and bat at the toys dangling above him. Another great use is to put the baby face down laying over the pillow - it often helps him to burp after feeding, saving me having to hold and burp him. An all-round great product - I highly recommend it. I haven't had any problems with it.

There are several things I love about this product:

1 - After having a c-section, it was hard for me to hold the baby close to me, she kept pushing into my stomach. The boppy made it so much more comfortable to hold her those first few days!

2 - Some days, my shoulder and arms kill me from holding her, this makes feedings easier.

3 - She loves the toys. She bats at them when she is in it. The "bars" that attach are easy to remove and replace.

4 - My daughter loves to be on the floor. We watch Baby Mozart all the time. This is like a mini recliner for her, she lounges in it while watching her show!

5 - Tummy time! She gets less frustrated when she is on her belly with the pillow underneath her.

6 - When I place my daughter (she's almost 4 months) in the sitting up position, it supports her. She is all proud that she is sitting up!

Once she gets tired of sitting, she scoots down to lay flat on the floor and rolls around.

I've washed the boppy several time (drool!), it washes up great! The pattern seems to get brighter with every wash. I can't say enough about this! Get a BOPPY!!!!

As a nursing mom, I find the boppy pillow an invaluable resource. I us it almost everytime I nurse. It is especially great for when your baby is a newborn. However, the 5 in 1 concept leaves little to be desired. If I put my baby on the pillow with the toys overhead, she is constantly wiggling until she is off the pillow and no longer under the toys. She needs to lay flat to learn to roll over. Another problem is that everytime I have to nurse her, I have to unhook the overhead gym from the pillow. I wish I would have purchased the plain boppy pillow and a different playmat for my baby.

The Boppy 5 in 1 was well worth the money I spent on it. This is the most versatile baby gym that I have ever seen. I got it for my 4th child and he loves it. He will play for 30-40 mins at 6 months that is forever! when he gets bored with a toy all we have to do is take it off and replace it with a new one. Any toy will work with this as long as you can get a ring around it. It comes with 3 toys and we added 3 more by purchasing additional links (rings). I highly recommend this as a baby gym.

For a feeding pillow there is nothing like it. I bottle fed but this allowed me to have him next to me and saved my arms.

boppy 5 in 1 was a lifesaver for me after i had my baby girl by c-section, it takes all the pressure off my stomach as i breastfeed. the toys are great too, my eighteen day old girl isn't that interested in the toys now...but i'm sure she will be.
The only thing that disapoints me is that the pillow seems to be going flat already and i'll have to buy another.

i thought this was the best thing since sliced bread... boy was i wrong! the only two things this is good for is 1)the boppy pillow by itself to help support baby to sit up and 2)the toys to play with (not attached). to use this item as a play gym is not a good idea for baby... they can't move anywhere or learn to roll over. they are stuck in the pillow and always in an upright position. i actually disasembled this and only use the pillow and toys and went and bought the fisher price basic play gym (much cheeper) that is better for baby to use. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

This boppy is great. Not only is it a nursing pillow it is also a fun activity gym. The sassy toys can be placed on the pillow itself (there are loops all around the outer edge) or they can dangle from the zebra print bars. The best thing about this product as an activity gym is you can add to it by buying activity links and new rattles.

I was given this as a shower gift and thought it was going to be wonderful as both a nursing pillow and gym. I never used it as a nursing pillow, as I had a C-Section and found the pillow too painful around my middle. I ended up just using a soft bed pillow. I don't like it as a play gym for the baby, either. As he swats at the toys, he slides off the pillow and ends up stuck on the floor, unable to move and frustrated. For a lot less money, we got a Fisher-Price gym where he can lie flat on the floor and roll around or stay put as he pleases!

I thought this looked great and I've heard so many wonderful things about the boppy. But, I didn't think it was comfortable to nurse with at all. I thought my baby would love laying on her back and playing with the toys, but she would cry after only a few minutes. I found that it was because she would slide down and get crunched up. I had just a regular gym for my 2 other children and they loved it. Now that she's 3 months, she'll tolerate laying on it. I'm hoping that she'll like it more as she gets older. I'm also hoping that I'll find more uses for it, like helping her to learn to sit up. But, as yet I wish I had just bought a regular gym. The sassy toys are nice though. She does really like those by themselves.

I just love the Boppy 5-in-1. It also has a sixth use. After giving birth I had a hemorrhoid. I used the boppy as a donut to sit on. It totally relieved all the pressure I had been feeling when I sat down. What a wonderful product for both mom and baby.
