We bought this after trying to find a way to get our newborn cozy on the couch with us. This is a great flexible option. We even used it for her to sleep between us the first few nights when we couldn't stop staring at her...she is so comfortable in this she often falls right asleep. I know it says not to sleep in it but until she is mobile it seems safe enough.

Unfortunately we learned that she also has reflex and is prone to spitting up after she eats. This is made worse if you set her in any sitting position; bouncy seat, swing, carseat. This works like a charm as she is more reclined and doesn't spit up when we lay her in it.

I would also suggest the cover that you can purchase for this as well. It is fleece and makes it very cozy for winter,

I had been using my regular Boppy to lay my newborn son in for short periods of time and he always slid down into it and I had to re-adjust him every minute or so. Then I found this!! It is so awesome and he loves it! He will stay content in this for a good 30 minutes at a time. When he's not using it I have to make sure I keep it propped up on end or my cats will be sleeping in it in no time.

My newborn is 4 weeks today and we use this daily ever since he came home. In deciding to purchase this, I talked to a coworker and we came to the conclusion that it may not be worth it since we could use a blanket for a similar effect and if anything it is a complete luxury because he won't be in it for too long. In a spur of the moment decision 2 days before his arrival, we decided to go for it. We are so glad that we did!

Whenever I am working on the computer (like right now), I can stick him in the newborn lounger. Even though he is always supervised, I know that he will not roll out of it because he doesn't have the strength to get out of the indentation. And, he is upright and slightly inclined unlike how he would be if instead doing tummy time on a blanket. It is also very cushy so he is not on the hard floor. He always looks peaceful and content when in it. It makes me want to get a beanbag chair for myself! However, we know that he will not be able to be in this for the long haul. He was 22" when born and his legs can only get to be another 6 or so inches longer before they hit the ground as they are at the edge of the top right now. His head is about 4 inches from the top edge now. However, I think that we still have several months of use we can get out of it.

The only thing I don't like is that there is not a slipcover on it. We didn't research to find out if they are offered since he won't be in it forever so didn't want to mark it down for that. Though, it could be information a potential purchaser wants to know. We really liked the seed row pattern and the softness of the material. We could just toss the whole thing in the washer but I would prefer a removable cover that I can throw in the washer instead to take up less room. However, the times that he has spitup in it, it has wiped right off with no staining. With peach, 2 shades of blue, green, and brown, it is also neutral enough to use for any girls that we have in the future.

Update: He is 9 weeks now. He had spit up on it a couple more times but it always wipes right off. We have not thrown it in the washer yet and it doesn't need it. We throw a small receiving blanket over it as a layer of protection from spitups. The receiving blanket is smaller than what we would need for daily use but the perfect size as a makeshift slipcover. We take it with us to choir practice. While we practice, he just lays in it completely content. It is way lighter and easier to travel with than the bouncer or another place that we can put him while we need to be hands-free.

Absolutely the most essential item I purchased for my newborn. He would sleep nowhere but in my arms. I know this is not supposed to be for sleep, but until he can roll over on his own...he's sleeping on this! I just wish it had a seperate slip cover.

I love this pillow. I got it for as a baby gift before my daughter was born and we use it every day now. My daughter is 6 weeks old and wakes up every time I put her down, except when I swaddle her, put her on the newborn lounger sideways and I also heat up the top where her head goes on the pillow by putting one of those microwavable rice bags adults use for headaches then take it away when I'm about to put her down. The pillow says not to let the baby sleep or be on his or her side or tummy while using the pillow, but she doesn't sleep well anywhere else except when someone is holding her. I always make sure to that if she were to roll off she wouldn't fall far or land on the floor or hard surface and I make sure to check on her a lot. My cousin borrowed it the other day for her 6 month old, who can roll over, and she loved it, stayed on her back the entire time. I think it might be a bit hard for even a baby who can roll to get out of it since they have to roll up hill first. The pillow is very firm so it isn't as much of a suffocation risk as a regular pillow. Plus, it's so portable. I can use it in the crib, pack and play, on my bed, couch. I took it to a picnic last weekend. My daughter also prefers this to her swing and bouncy chair when she is awake and happy. It's perfect for taking pictures in. I wish the cover came off so I can wash it. The washing instructions say to put in it in the washing machine,which I wouldn't do. The material wipes clean pretty easily. My daughter spits up all the time and I just spot clean it. It could get gross if she ever has a big blow out on it though.

This was one of the best items I received from my shower. And one of the only things that I went to buy multiples of for my twins. I feel like it is a very safe place for my babies to hang out in, and sleep in (even though it says not to let them sleep in it). I love the way it supports their necks and won't let them roll out. They are easy to transport to grandmas house as well. I HIGHLY recommend it! My twins sleep in their crib, my arms, or their loungers. Thank God for their loungers!!

I wanted to add that my twins are now 10 months old and STILL use their loungers. Before they were crawling, I would sit them in their loungers to watch a video or something. Now, I have them in the bathroom and it makes a great place to put them before and after their bath. I hate putting a naked baby on the hard floor with just a towel! I just can't say enough good things about them.

But I wish that I had purchased the covers to go with them, cleaning them well is difficult. The covers were pricey but I wish that I would have splurged at the time.

we love this Boppy. it is so much better than the half moon Boppy for newborns. My son uses it everyday. It is great to use to get some great pictures.

My baby loves this lounger. She falls asleep in it way easier than when we lay her directly in her crib (once she falls asleep in the lounger we move her) and she also likes to hang out in it while awake. It also makes a great feeding pillow if you elevate the head. This is the best thing we purchased as new parents, a must buy!

My son wouldn't sleep the first four days he came home unless I was holding him. If I tried to lay him in bassinet, pack and play, swing, or anywhere else he would wake right up. Then I tried this! He loves it and is so comfortable in it!

This Boppy Newborn Lounger is actually the second generation of the product. My granddaughter, now two years old, was given one of the originals as a baby gift, and still used it for napping up until six months or so ago.

When my grandson was born recently, I ordered this one, and was surprised to see the design is a little different from the original. Fortunately, the changes are for the better. The cover on the original lounger was removeable for washing, but the new lounger can be washed in its entirety. Since bottle spills, diaper mishaps, and upset tummies occur frequently with infants, the washability of the whole lounger is a plus.

We keep the Boppy Newborn Lounger on the sofa so the baby can be near his caretaker when not being held. It is shaped like a large donut, but the "hole" of the donut is enclosed, so the infant can sit comfortably with his head elevated slightly.

When my daughter saw this newer version, she confiscated it for use at her house, and traded me for the original Boppy Newborn Lounger.

Please note that the Boppy, which is a U-shaped pillow made to assist in feeding the infant, is a completely different product from the Boppy Newborn Lounger. I consider the Newborn Lounger to be far more useful a product, and plan to make it my default baby gift for the near future.
