This pillow is great for Mommies and Baby. It makes feeding and tummy time a lot easier. The only problem I had with it was it went flat very quickly. I bought the bare naked pillow because it was less money, and I wanted to see how I liked it before I invested more. The covers run about 10-13 dollars each, so it can get more expensive than buying one with the cover attached. Cleaning is easier though, but as long as I have had this pillow, I havent had any need to wash it. I am planning to go back and get the Boppy Luxe, since it is a bigger pillow to begin with, so hopfully it won't go flat. When it does goes flat, it is more of a nusance than anything.

This pillow is the cat's meow! I have used this from the day I brought my son home from the hospital. I had a c-section, and it protected my sore, stitched-up tummy from Junior's little kicks and flutter punches, and it makes breastfeeding SO MUCH EASIER. My son finds it a cozy place to nap - he just passes out right after breastfeeding, and my arms don't ache - I can literally sit and hold him for hours in my lap with the aid of this pillow (so much for that housework getting done!). He also loves to use it for "assisted sitting" and for getting his head up off the floor so he won't miss a beat. I love that it's plain white; I've bought a few different covers for it, which makes washing it a piece of cake. This pillow's also helps during Tummy Time, which most babies hate, although I alternate with giving him time on the floor without it as well to better help strengthen his neck and arm muscles. This pillow really IS fantastic, and should be in every new mom's home, whether they choose to breastfeed or not. It's just that useful! The only thing I've noticed about the Boppy, is that it's a bit big for squeezing into a chair with arms. I would have liked to use it in my computer chair or in my rocker/glider, but it's just a wee bit too thick to fit. But that's a minor negative in an otherwise great pillow.

The boppy pillow has been my best friend since delivery. It helped get me comfortable so I would relax to breastfeed. It also came in useful on the ride home from the hospital. I had an episiotomy and was very sore. I just sat on the boppy and had no problems. My son is 3 weeks old and loves to lay in the boppy on his back or stomach. He is already holding his head up more because of his tummy time on the boppy. My husband loves the boppy, too. When he is bottle-feeding him, it makes feeding time more comfortable. The boppy is also good if smaller children are going to be holding your infant. We have a friend who has a kindergartener. She wanted to hold my son, so we put the boppy around her and then gave her the baby. I didn't have to worry about his head not being supported. Overall, you must have this!
