I found the brest friend offered nice support and used it right away in the hospital and then at home. I felt that with the boppy baby was always rolling in towards me. Not ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680993 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:41:12 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 680993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i brought, but it never came out of the bag. i started using it when i was back home. i have brest friend and i love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680991 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:39:57 +0000 regberadaisy 680991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought the boppy but I can't remember if I used it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680959 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:15:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 680959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes, i drank all the coconut water i brought! i used everything i had on that list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680908 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 19:28:35 +0000 oahujeni 680908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought the boppy and so glad I did! It can't hurt to bring them both and leave in the car so you have both options. You know that if you bring only one you will wish you had the other one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680885 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 19:08:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 680885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought the boppy but I ended up using the Brest Friend exclusively once we got home. I like how firm it was and that I could strap it on and walk around with LO if I wanted to. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680882 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 19:02:26 +0000 autumnlove 680882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I'm packing my bag with your blog post as my reference.

Then again, I often nurse now without a nursing pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680813 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 18:11:02 +0000 tequiero21 680813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both, but didn't bring either. Didn't need it. Too uncomfy on the bed. Easier to lay down and use pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680811 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 18:09:24 +0000 dagret 680811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought the boppy and used it immediately, plus when he was in the pediatric unit at 2 weeks. There's nowhere comfy to nurse at our hospital... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680787 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:47:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 680787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: i brought the boppy and used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680779 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:43:39 +0000 Sweet T 680779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the boppy but ended up using a few regular pillows stacked on top of each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680773 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:38:59 +0000 edelweiss 680773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a boppy, but i did not bring it to the hospital and i actually don't use it much for breastfeeding--i didn't like the way it fit around me. oh well!</p> <p>oh, you might want to check with the hospital--i saw a brest friend hanging in my room when i was there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680763 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:32:16 +0000 chopsuey 680763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I don't own a nursing pillow. Have done fine without one so far. I know you're getting a c section so nursing football position will probably be most comfortable for you..? Not sure how it'll be to have something around your midsection post op..<br /> I just used regular pillows when I nursed in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680754 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:26:15 +0000 shopaholic 680754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The Boppy and I use it every day! It was also helpful just to have baby rest on it whe she'd fall asleep while feeding and wouldn't want to lay in the bassinet! I didn't find it too much to pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680722 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:46:09 +0000 Smurfette 680722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boppy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680701 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:11:22 +0000 mamimami 680701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The boppy and I found it indispensable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680700 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:10:31 +0000 pl0508 680700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't bring my boppy to the hospital I just used their pillows but use it EVERY TIME I nurse at home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680696 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:06:25 +0000 autumnlove 680696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I didn't use the pillows a lot with LO but I wonder if they will help this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680692 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:01:49 +0000 travelgirl1 680692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, the boppy, and used it to pad out the side of the hospital bed as A slept in the crook of my arm after my c section and it made it a bit safer for her. Soo useful. But I didn't find it as useful for breastfeeding... Now I've had one child and know what I'm doing I think I'd find the boppy easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680690 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:00:52 +0000 dolphin 680690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, one less thing to pack. I use the boppy at home but don't think you need it at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680683 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:53:30 +0000 immabeetoo 680683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep boppy and I still use it every time at 4 months for hands free nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680682 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:53:25 +0000 anbanan15 680682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just brought my personal pillow. I didn't want to have to deal with both. I ended up hating my boppy anyway and never used it. We nursed side-laying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680679 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:52:26 +0000 Mrsjets 680679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, I brought the bobby and used it everytime I nursed him for the first month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bring-a-nursing-pillow-to-the-hospital#post-680677 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:46:57 +0000 autumnlove 680677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you use it?
