For awhile I could nurse anywhere but now that he's older, LO gets too distracted anywhere but in his room, so we end up in the rocker with the boppy. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82305 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:34:48 +0000 chopsuey 82305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Yep. I lie on my side and LO lies on her side facing me. Sometimes she'll lie on her back and just turn her head towards me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82301 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:17:43 +0000 autumnlove 82301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use My Brest Friend but my LO doesn't seem too comfy on it!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: are you on your side facing your LO? I like lying down to nurse but my LO throws up every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82294 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:58:01 +0000 littleveesmommy 82294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the boppy all the time at home but also been practicing without so I can nurse easily if we are out of the house. I love my boppy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82210 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 13:20:14 +0000 Boogs 82210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a boppy that I never used, I've just always held LO because it was more comfortable. I usually nurse on either the couch or the glider in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82196 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:49:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 82196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also hated it and didn't use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82195 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:47:59 +0000 sulli301 82195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 10 months old tomorrow &amp; we are still using the My Brest Friend (love! the boppy didn't work for us) almost all of the time! She hangs off the ends a bit but it still serves its purpose. We have a glider but I almost always nurse on the couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82186 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:04:27 +0000 lemondrop 82186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the boppy for the first 3 weeks or so, then got tired of trying to remember which room I left it in. Now I either use a couch cushion or nothing at all. </p> <p>Now we call the boppy "Cam's Couch" since we use it to prop him up on the couch in the evenings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82169 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:25:19 +0000 chopsuey 82169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I almost always nurse laying down too. Lo is 11 months old! </p> <p>I think I used pillows an my Brest friend for the first month only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-82167 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:22:07 +0000 anbanan15 82167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped using the nursing pillow within the first 2 weeks. HATED that thing. DS had reflux so we were told to nurse him while he was in a vertical position. Around 2 months his reflux was out of control and it was near impossible for me to nurse him without laying down. We still nurse laying down at 10 months and it has been the best position for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76545 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:26:55 +0000 Red 76545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my brest friend for the first 2-3 months and then I stopped cause she was sturdy enough to just cradle in my arms and nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76517 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 76517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last couple of months I've used just a regular bed pillow. I still need something, but the nursing pillows are a bit too high now with my big boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76513 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:07:35 +0000 banana 76513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really used one either. I had a boppy that I would use sometimes. But rarely. I usually nursed on our bed and propped myself up with my regular sleeping pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76510 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:05:29 +0000 mamimami 76510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use it at almost 14 months. We don't have a glider, so bed, sofa, armchair, wherever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76347 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:18:56 +0000 Maysprout 76347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really used one. Sometimes I'd put a pillow from the couch under her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76340 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:12:40 +0000 CameronsMomma 76340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one never really liked the nursing pillow, so we only used it for a couple feedings. It's currently sitting on our floor, and when Cameron has enough head control, it'll probably just be a chair for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76032 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:18:31 +0000 cupcakemama 76032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I used a pillow most of the time. LO was completely weaned at 8 months. I didn't have a glider, I fed wherever - bed, couch, chair etc. I found the pillow or something wedged under my elbow saved my arms and shoulders so I always used something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-nursing-pillow#post-76028 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:10:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 76028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive is just about too long for our glider. Her head and feet touch both ends.</p> <p>Where do you nurse, and at what age did you stop using a nursing pillow? </p>
