She had to eat sitting upright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122386 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:48:02 +0000 MegWag 122386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd heard that BF was better for the very well endowed, but I'm loving the Boppy. It really makes a difference, rather than just using throw pillows like I had been doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122278 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:25:28 +0000 sandy 122278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Owlmom, I preferred the BF when LO was really little (maybe up to 10-12 weeks) and nursing sessions were really long. But once LO got bigger, I definitely prefer the Boppy - so easy to take on and off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122277 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:24:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 122277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the boppy and really like it. My LO LOVES playing on the floor as long as he's propped up with the boppy, otherwise he doesn't like the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122272 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:15:24 +0000 chopsuey 122272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Brest friend for a day. Never tried the Boppy! I just used pillows. The brest friend was nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122265 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:58:43 +0000 twinmama 122265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is a lactation consultant and 100% recommends the My Breast Friend. But I do have friends who have been perfectly happy with the Boppy.</p> <p>I have the twin version on my registry and it's been highly recommended by multiples mamas too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122245 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:32:27 +0000 owlmom 122245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, it's a toss up. They both have their pros and cons. I preferred the BF when LO was smaller because it is more supportive. Plus, I'm tall and have a long torso, so with the adjustable strap on the BF I was able to lift the pillow higher on my lap, if that makes sense...Now that LO is 6 months, I prefer the Bobby. She almost feels too big for the BF. I also like that the Bobby pillow is washable - the actual "pillow" part of the BF is foam and can't be tossed in the washer. So if something soaks through the cover (like a mid-nursing poop-splosion), it soaks into the foam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122221 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:12:02 +0000 lavender 122221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the boppy and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122217 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:09:59 +0000 birdieputt 122217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got the gia simplisse and brestfriend. still waiting to try them out, but i do like the contoured shape of the gia pillow better than the boppy (esp cuz i'm tall). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122200 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:47:30 +0000 Clementine 122200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both and both have their merits.</p> <p>Boppy = easier to put on and can be used to sit up/lay the baby</p> <p>BF = def more support for the little one when breastfeeding, but def not as convenient or quick to put on</p> <p>If I had to choose, I'd pick the BF because it def gives more support to the LO and maybe get the Boppy Lounge pillow for baby to sit/lay down in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boppy-or-my-brest-friend#post-122195 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:35:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 122195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you prefer one over the other?
