Boppy Pillow - Feeding Pillows?

I saw a video of the boppy pillow at the hospital which is basically a feeding pillow with a "unique shape" apparently. Can anyone recommend it, is it as good as it looked on the video?



They have a build a boppy section on their website and I noticed alot of their covers would match the pink lining changing bags

Nosing around from 2nd tri sorry. No personal experience (first baby) but my cousin has a boppy and is still BFing her DD at 20 months and strongly recommended the pillow to me. Don't seem to be too many suppliers in UK though. Also the Widgey seems very similar, not sure if shape any different or if anyone can comment on that. I have bought a dreamgenie as keep rolling on my back when asleep so I'm going try that to start with. I also bought a glider and footstool as recommended by same cousin, which OH put together for me yesterday and is so comfy!

I have no idea, the video said they grow with you as you get bigger throughout your pregnancy and they shrink back into shape, you can wash the covers, they have loads of fancy covers too.. Says you can use it for feeding, support for the baby when its playing and that, to be honest I didn't know they existed until I saw the hospital video thingy.. It sold it to me though..lol

At my antenatal class about BF we were told not to bother with any of the feeding pillows...she said they were a waste of money and just tend to make you really hot...plus if you go out anywhere then you wouldn't really be able to take one anyway! I dunno, just personal preference I suppose

We had one with my daughter and I used it for her entire first year, I think. It's a wonderful thing and I plan on using it with this new little one! I used it alot to support Valerie while she was nursing, but I also used it to support her when she was newly born, while she was learning to sit on her own, and just as a comfy pillow now for her to lounge around on. It's nice that you can buy different covers for it and make it for a girl or boy! I love mine and highly recommend getting one!
