Baby Products Reviews of My Brest Friend Pillow, Sunburst
Customer Review: Fabulous! A MUST HAVE for nursing moms!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this pillow! If you plan to nurse, this is essential. Used the boppy with my first child, and it was terrible, although I didn't realize this at that time. I had to prop the boppy up with foam I cut up from a pillow, baby kept slipping into the "pocket" between the pillow and me, and I had corporal tunnel from basically holding him in place all the time. The BreastFriend, however, is just a dream! I have only been using it a week (brought it to the hospital), and it could not have been designed better. Snaps on/off easily, adjusts to one's body size, baby rests easily on it and doesn't slip down, and I have even walked around with baby on it and nursing. Definitely worth its cost!!!Customer Review: Perfect for a petite woman!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a first-time mom and can't compare this item to the Boppy (which I know is it's competition), but I LOVE it! It is completely adjustable, which works great for a small person like me. My only issue is that where the pillow is raised on top to support the baby, no longer works for me because my son is too big (14 lbs). So, I flip the pillow over (using it upside-down) for a flat surface. Other people may still find it comfortable to use the top side longer, it just didn't work for us.
I love that I can use it standing up, too! These seem far superior to any other nursing pillows and I highly recommend the Brest Friend.
Customer Review: Wish I'd Had the Boppy
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess this just wasn't for me. After reading all the fab reviews, I decided to get this instead of a Boppy. It was good for a little while and I appreciated the support for the baby and my back but since you have to get it wrapped around you and then settled (while your baby screams), it isn't as easy to use as a Boppy. Plus after about 2 months, it was just easier to skip it and it has been in the closet ever since. At least with a Boppy, you can use it for other things as your child grows and sits up, etc. This had such a short useful life and is such a big thing to store, it just wasn't worth it.Customer Review: No friend of mine: not easy to use
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this after all the recommendations but 3 1/2 months after baby was born I broke down and bought the boppy. Disadvantages:
1. too short, needed another pillow in addition
2. the back bar always hurt my back and you can't bf without it being buckled or it slips away.
3. need two hands and I never had two hands when it was time to feed the baby!
#1 and #2 meant that I rarely used it. Now I just got the boppy and it worked great! it's high enough, easy to put on and take off and I can do it with one hand! Wish I'd have gotten the boppy in the first place.
Customer Review: Wish I would have got the deluxe
Summary: 4 Stars
For nursing I prefer this over the Boppy any day. The one design flaw besides this being the ugliest cover you have ever seen is the mesh strap. My VERY active boy baby has a large abrasion on the outside of his right ankle. It was bloody and caloused. We racked our brains for a week tying to figure out what was hurting him until I finally realized that he was playing with the tag on the pillow with his foot while he nursed and rubbing that poor little ankle back and forth over the edge of the mesh strap! The deluxe pillow has fabric covering the strap that would have prevented this.
