Did you prefer one over the other? (registering)
For breast feeding in particular?
-
I have both and both have their merits.
Boppy = easier to put on and can be used to sit up/lay the baby
BF = def more support for the little one when breastfeeding, but def not as convenient or quick to put on
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.

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).
-
I got the boppy and love it.

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.

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.
I have the twin version on my registry and it's been highly recommended by multiples mamas too.

I used the Brest friend for a day. Never tried the Boppy! I just used pillows. The brest friend was nice!
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

I have the boppy, but LO had reflux so I couldn't use it. She had to eat sitting upright.
