So far I do like it, it definitely makes breastfeeding easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157707 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:20:55 +0000 purrpletulips 157707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get the boppy until around 3 weeks (gift that arrived late due to shipping problems). We used it until LO was around 9-10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157646 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:53:03 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 157646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't really use it for the first two months because LO was just so tiny but since then we've been using it daily and are still now at 10+ months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157640 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 157640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Simplisse Gia and still occasionally use it at almost 11 months! Not necessary, but VERY nice to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157440 Mon, 14 May 2012 04:39:39 +0000 MegWag 157440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine until LO was nearly 2 mos and it is a total life saver. Definitely don't regret the purchase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157326 Sun, 13 May 2012 20:03:29 +0000 ohapostrophe 157326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Using mine right now at 13 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157276 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:22:57 +0000 Rubies 157276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9.5 months and I STILL use it! It's soooo much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157229 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:13:35 +0000 IcebergMom 157229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a bf pillow. In fact my 10 mo old is nursing right now on it. I miss it s much when I am traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157213 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:58:12 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 157213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh and she's three months, I used it with my older baby for...maybe 8 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157212 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:57:24 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 157212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is by posh n plush. (looks a lot like that jolly jumper pillow) I am currently nursing with it on my lap and wedged up against the computer desk, leaving me two hands to type. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157209 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:55:08 +0000 katdevargas 157209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine for free, so I'd say it was worth it for the price we paid. I don't use any pillows to bf, so there's that, though. I'm going to keep the pillow until lo is older b/c I've seen it used so much for babies when they're trying to master sitting up &amp; keep falling over.</p> <p>if you're comfortable with it &amp; cost is an issue (I'm not sure how much they cost?), I'd say try to find one from a friend who no longer needs it or from craigslist or a listserv or something. then if you hate it, it's not such a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157203 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:47:43 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 157203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LJ is almost 7 months, and we still use ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157201 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:46:12 +0000 pelikila 157201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me there were other nursing pillows that I would prefer over a boppy. The boppy just wasn't high enough that I still found myself leaning over to get my breast down to my son and that kills your back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157166 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:27:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 157166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used or tried it, but I have the boomerang nursing pillow from Jolly Jumper and LOVE THAT THING.<br /> <a href="http://www.jollyjumper.com/show/135" rel="nofollow">http://www.jollyjumper.com/show/135</a></p> <p>I would never change !!! It's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157143 Sun, 13 May 2012 14:35:25 +0000 mrsjazz 157143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Boppy and I use it primarily as a spot for the baby to lay on (I still put it around my waist since she likes to be close to mama) but I can keep my hands free. </p> <p>I purchased My Breast Friend and had it rushed delivered--IMO it's way better for breastfeeding because the baby doesn't fall in the center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157130 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:54:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 157130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote no. I had one and hated it. It was so awkward for me. I just ended up using a regular pillow from our bed, which was just perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157128 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:49:44 +0000 owlmom 157128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use it for every feeding at home, and LO is 7 months. Worth every penny for me. I also have a breastfriend, which I like too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157117 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:15:35 +0000 heffalump 157117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't use it because LO had to sit upright during and after feedings due to reflux. Are you planning on a baby #2? Even if you don't use it much now, maybe you'll get to use it in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157112 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:47:10 +0000 lemondrop 157112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it occasionally for bf'ing, but use it more often to sit him up on the floor while I'm doing things around the house or to prop him up on the bathmat while I take a shower. I think it is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157107 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:30:04 +0000 His Barista 157107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I only used it the first 2 weeks. She was small so she kept falling between it. Now that she is 10 weeks I am considering breaking it back out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-boppy-pillow-worth-it#post-157106 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:22:58 +0000 Mrsbells 157106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 3 weeks old, and I want to buy a boppy pillow, I think it will make breastfeeding easier. Is it worth it since my baby is already nearly a month old? How old was your baby when you stopped using your boppy? </p>
