Baby Products Reviews of My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow, Light Green
Customer Review: go to gift for new parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Much nicer than the boppy, because it doesn't slip off. The velcro is noisy, when you have to take it off, but you can always put sleeping baby down, leave the room and then take it off. The fabulous thing about this, is you could even walk around and nurse! The firm platform is a really secure place to position baby, though a football hold is difficult except for the smallest. But then in a football hold, your arm is required to do the job in any case. Also the generous size of the platform worked for my extremely large chest size which just balooned after baby. The boppy just slipped off and didn't clear my chest.
I especially appreciated that back support in the small of my back and it complemented my dutailier rockers shape perfectly when that extra support for the small of your back comes in handy. The washable cover is fantastic and my first one, lasted, me, and s-i-l through three babies and several years.
Customer Review: Wonderful for new moms
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to receive both the boppy and the brest friend pillow. Both have their uses so it depends on your needs.
The brest friend pillow was wonderful for a new mom breastfeeding. I had difficultly in the hospital as I was a new mom and never breast feed before and my baby was sleepy and new at breast feeding also. I tried to use pillows on the hospital bed, but it was difficult. Once I came home and used the brest friend pillow, I had no problem. It is very firm and creates a shelf for the baby. I tried the boppy, but found my daughter would sink into it and not be in a proper position for feeding.
The boppy is great for other uses besides breast feeding. My husband and I use it on the couch when we want to watch t.v. and have her on our lap. You can also use it to support the baby when the baby is ready to sit up by themselves.
Customer Review: uh, not for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I used a boppy pillow with my first six yrs. ago. I couldn't find the old boppy so I decided to try the new nursing pillow.
It IS very supportive, it makes a shelf on your abdomen for your baby to lay on.
But...
-You can't safely hold baby while putting it on.
-It's quite large and an odd shape, which makes it difficult to store.
-It's pretty stiff and at times I feel like my baby is unsafe on the pillow (It feels like he's going to roll off).
The Boppy...
-Was more compact to store.
-I could swing it on and off without putting down my baby.
-It was multipurpose! I used it for nursing, tummy time, and for sitting baby in a reclined position, we had lots of fun with that boppy.
I have to find my Boppy!
Customer Review: Can't do without it!

I have this exact same soft light green deluxe pillow. I bought the pillow when she was about 2 weeks old. And I have been wearing it almost all day long every day since. She is 11 weeks old today. She is so comfortable when nursing on this pillow. The cushion is made of firm foam. She falls asleep on the pillow while it is around my waist. Even when she's not nursing or napping, the pillow helps me to support her weight when I'm sitting or standing. It fits me very comfortably even though I'm plus size.
The only drawback is that I need to order an additional slipcover because it can only be hung to dry, although it is machine washable. I really love this fabric, but apparently, this fabric is not available to purchase separately as a slipcover, so I guess I'll try the oatmeal twill cover.
Customer Review: Nice concept.. but didnt work for me.
Summary: 3 Stars
This pillow is a wonderful concept.. but it just did not work for me. I have several cons..
My daughter had latching problems and for the first 6 weeks would only latch in the "football" position. So, it made this pillow impossible to use for the first six weeks. After that, she latched on normally and I again tried to use this pillow, but found that it put baby up to high for me. Maybe it was because I was used to just a traditional pillow, but I did not like this pillow.
I nursed my daughter for 17 months.. and in my opinion.. save your money - a regular pillow works just as well if not better. Like I mentioned, wonderful concept, but I was one of the women who these pillows did not work for.. so something to consider before purchasing this pillow!
