Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow

I had the old version of the boppy with my first born and hated it! I had problems with the fit around my waist ( I am a size 10/12) and there was not enough stuffing in the pillow to prop my daughter up to my breast to eat. I had received the new version of the boppy from my mother and decided to give the new version with the 'fits all waists' middle a try. The pillow looked thicker than the old version and it felt like a better fit around my middle. My son is now 14 days old and I have used this pillow everyday to feed him. This pillow does everything that the old version had promised.

If you are going to be breastfeeding or bottle feeding, the Boppy is a MUST.

This is a pillow that fits around you for your baby to lay on when he or she is being fed and it is absolutely one of the best things we have. It's more comfortable than a regular bed pillow and your baby can be closer to you when they are eating than if you have them in an infant bouncer or chair. This is especially wonderful for fathers who feed their babies and want to have that closeness. They have different sizes but I have never had a problem with this, traditional, size.

There are also a ton of wonderful covers that you can buy that have different patterns and textures. Or, you can just leave it plain. It all works the same.

I do NOT understand why anyone likes the Boppy for nursing. I am a pretty small woman (about a size 8) and I found that the donut-hole in the middle was so small it buckled in the front when I tried to put it around my waist. Not only that, but it really needs to sit around the hips in order to be low enough to rest the baby on -- and that never worked, it just kept riding up to my waist. And because it's so round and puffy, I had to use just as much muscle to keep my baby from rolling away from me as I would have to hold him up! I tossed it in the closet and used regular bed and couch pillows instead. Also, I couldn't use it in any chair with arms (like a rocker or a dining-table chair because the big fat arms of the Boppy got in the way of the arms of the chair.

Perfect for our twin granddaughters. Wish we had this when my kids were little! A must have for new Moms!!!!

I did not care for this pillow when used as a nursing pillow, the pillow went all the way around my waist, making it impossible to sit back in the chair, causing back strain. Having to lean forward to nurse was not comfortable. This pillow is great for tummy time, I put my son in the pillow with his arms over the middle, the ends were under or over his legs and then I put toys in front of him to keep him entertained, at first he just looked at them, but as time went on he would reach for the toys. I had a Boppy when my daughter was little also, she used the pillow as a toddler to read and such. This is not a must have item.
