A must for those inexperienced at nursing,
By
This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow, Chocolate, 0-12 Months (Baby Product)
I wish they would make these available to all women who want to nurse while they are in the hospital. All that was available to me were the standard pillows in the room, which make positioning the baby and the mother awkward at best. Positioning suffered so badly using regular pillows that nursing was inefficient and frustrating for both my baby and me--and also back-breaking for me. My Brest Friend (Deluxe) to the rescue.
Pros: *The foam pillow improves positioning of both mother and child, as it provides back support for the mother and a firm surface for the child to rest on, preventing her from rolling into or away from the breast; the lumps offer extra support for the baby's head. *The latch, which makes the pillow like a giant belt, allows the mother to reposition herself with relative ease. (She doesn't have to move 10 pillows to get comfortable.) This feature also allows the mother to wear the pillow and then pick up her child from the crib or bassinet, instead of having to get the child and then set her aside while the mother either fits a different nursing pillow around herself or builds the pillow fortress that will act as support. *The latch is attached to an adjustable strap so the pillow can fit someone else or grow and shrink with you. (My husband wears it when he wants extra support holding our daughter.) *The cover is machine washable and made of soft, minky-like fabric. *The pocket is great for keeping necessities at hand: baby-safe hand sanitizer, cell phone (for calls and keeping track of feedings), clippers (as I've found no better opportunity for her manicure than when she's milk drunk). Cons: *This is the most spendy of the nursing pillows I've seen. *The foam pillow and plush cover aren't made of materials that are very healthy for either people or the environment. *The pillow should really have a waterproof protector to keep breast milk, drool, urine, or stool from soiling the foam. (And yeah, all of these will probably end up on your Brest Friend or other nursing pillow.) *The pillow doesn't offer enough back support for me, so I need to squeeze another pillow or two behind my back. *When you inevitably have to wash the cover, the pillow's comfort and function is, of course, compromised. *A second cover, for when you have to launder the original, is costly, too, and some of the covers do not seem to be made very well (according to the reviews for the non-plush versions). Overall, I would recommend the product. It makes the challenge of positioning yourself and your baby much less challenging. However, much could be done to improve this nursing pillow.

Not for "plus" size,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow, Chocolate, 0-12 Months (Baby Product)
Wouldn't really consider myself truly plus size but I guess I am. I'm a size 14 and this just didn't fit well. I wanted to love it bc if it fit it would have worked and been so much more comfortable than the bobby that I'm stuck with but it just didn't fit. I couldn't see spending the $50+ on the twin model that says it fits plus sizes so I just went with a bobby which I really don't love but have no choice.

One of My Favorite Baby Products,
This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow, Chocolate, 0-12 Months (Baby Product)
Pros:
1. The latch on this is really helpful. I can strap it on, pick up baby, and settle down to nurse without having to arrange a bunch of pillows. When I have to move to reposition or reach for something I can do so without disturbing Baby. 2. The back support is great. I have back problems and sitting can be really uncomfortable. This makes sitting in a rocker or couch comfortable, which is wonderful since I spend a lot of time sitting and nursing. 3. The pocket is really handy--I can always have breast cream, breast pads, or a binky in reach. 4. The foam is nice and firm to support Baby. 5. The strap is long enough to fit both me and my husband easily (he'll use it sometimes to support Baby when he's holding him for long periods of time). 6. The cover is removable and washable. I washed it and air dried it and had no problems getting it back on. It also dried surprisingly fast--it was dry by the next time I nursed. Cons: 1. The foam on the side where it latches isn't very wide (see the picture). If you like nursing with the "football hold" it won't be wide enough on that side to support Baby. 2. The bumps seem a little pointless to me; they aren't in the right spot to support Baby's head. 3. The one thing that seems better about the Boppy is that you can use it to prop up Baby in a sitting position or for tummy time. I might buy a Boppy just for that. 4. I wish it had a waterproof cover. 5. It would be nice if this was a little thicker and had a wedge shape to keep Baby close to your body. I prop another thin pillow under it to get Baby in the right position. While it could be better, this is still one of my favorite baby products. Nursing is such a big part of your life with a newborn, and anything that makes it easier is wonderful.
