I own a boppy, which is nice, but not for breastfeeding. It slides around and just isn't practical for me. I have been using my brestfriend since day one in the hospital (I had a c section) and this pillow has been indispensable. The buckle is what makes it so special, I clip this thing on and can walk around and sit while breastfeeding. It also acts as a little baby table, as a new first time mom learning to breastfeed, I felt like I needed a third hand to get the positioning just right, but with the pillow I was able to get everything where it was supposed to be to get the perfect latch. Do yourself a favor if you are serious about breastfeeding and don't wait to see if you will really need it. The cover can be tricky to put back on after you wash it and it seems to have shrunk a little bit despite gentle washing and air drying. One last thing. . . I wasn't sure about the Mod Pod pattern, the picture just wasn't very clear, however as soon as I recieved it I knew I had made the right pattern choice. It is very very nice in person.

This is a great pillow. very firm & supportive. perfect for my tiny newborn who slides around on regular pillows. the only downside is that it's made of dense foam. i didn't look to see if the foam is washable and mine already smells like sour milk after just a couple of weeks. I leak when i nurse so i always have to have a cloth diaper tucked between me and pillow or it will get soaked. the cover is washable & held up fine through the 10 or so times i've washed it. it's line dry only. i love this grey fireworks print. not that anyone but me sees it but it's nice. the belt fit around me fine, even right after birth. i usually tuck a blanket over the nylon belt so it doesn't make baby uncomfortable when he's on that side. I'm a bigger woman so i was a little worried about fit, it was fine.

I was introduced to this pillow during a lactation consultant appointment at our hospital's nursing boutique. After a few days at home trying to nurse at home without it I returned to buy one of my own. According to our lactation consultants, that's a pretty common occurrence.

I started out using an assortment of pillows from around our house and a Boppy Bare Naked Pillow that had been recommended to me by other mom's. But the other pillows tended to slip away during our marathon nursing sessions, and keeping my baby in the best position was impossible with the curve of the boppy. Switching to My Brest Friend made a world of difference.

What I Love:
- Clip on (very adjustable to fit a large postpartum body) while baby was on the changing table, made getting started nursing much easier
- Sturdy foam was supportive enough for my back & baby
- Pocket kept necissiary items close at hand while I managed baby
- Small bumps in foam provide extra support under baby's head

Things to consider:
- At the nursing botique I used the My Brest Friend Professional Pillow, Blue, after much spilled milk at home I would recommend using the professional pillow with a slip cover or blanket to keep the foam cleaner
- Depending on the length of your torso you may want another thin pillow on your lap below this one (this is true for all nursing pillows)

Overall, I wish I had this pillow sooner & my baby still loved the boppy when learning to sit!
