Now at 5 months old she is able to nap in it. It is clearly stated on it that it shouldnt be used for sleep but we always watch her while she is in it and never use it for night time sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310809 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 07:44:36 +0000 stiffaknee 310809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use mine to prop her up, but I have to rig it a little-I have this fun little pillow thing called the "hugga-bebe" that you wrap around them (to help them fit better into high chairs and exersaucers when they're little) and i prop that up inside the boppy so she can sit a little more upright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310769 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 06:46:27 +0000 mediagirl 310769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She never looked comfortable if I propped her up on it so, we use it for nursing and used to use it for tummy time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310720 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:46:53 +0000 tequiero21 310720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did it for tummy time. tried it for bf, but didn't work for me. i try to prop them on it for sitting up, but doesn't really work well. all in all, probably a waste of money, since i got 2 of them (twins) with 3 covers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310667 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:52:16 +0000 eeh 310667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it for nursing and for sleeping. Every morning I bring the baby to our bed and feed her and then put the boppy between us and let her go back to sleep there. It's the only way we'll let her sleep in our bed because we won't roll over on her and it's only for a short amount of time. I also use it for tummy time occasionally but she doesn't seem to enjoy that very much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310664 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:46:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 310664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it to nurse in the beginning, but switched to My Brest Friend after about a month. I found MBF fit me better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310660 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:42:05 +0000 KT326 310660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it for naps too when he was really little. We actual used it for nursing up until a few weeks ago and he will be 6 months tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310604 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:29:53 +0000 LivsMama 310604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used ours. I didnt use it for nursing even once. She fell asleep nestled in it one time, but that's it. So for us it was a bit of a Waste </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310508 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:18:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 310508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lady I babysat for taught me how to use it as a bottle propping tool for when her baby slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310500 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:12:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 310500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used it for naps. She slept better in the swing. I just used it for nursing and propping her up during tummy time and when learning to sit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310499 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:12:35 +0000 littlecasita1122 310499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it to prop him up while we're playing with toys or I'm showing him books. We've also started to use it a little for tummy time but sometimes I think it's uncomfortable for him. He's never been so tired that he's fallen asleep in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-a-boppy-for#post-310495 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:10:13 +0000 matador84 310495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my Boppy while nursing, but LO is big enough now to sit him in it for a little nap and he seems to like it (meaning that he sleeps for quite some time propped up in it). I'm pretty sure the manufacturer discourages this, but he isn't rolling so it seems like he's okay. </p>
