C is almost 8 months and I still use the Brest Friend most of the time at home, though I am finally starting to just prop her upright a little more. I haven't actually needed it in a while, it's still so convenient when she is sleepy.
But I think now she is starting to prefer sitting more upright so she can eat with a view.

I stopped nursing at 6 months but I still use the Boppy to prop my arm up with another pillow while bottle feeding R.

Still using it at 13 months. LO sometimes wants to sit and we don't use it but if she's laying we always do. She's petite though. We might not need it if she was bigger.

At about 8 months. DS is a big boy and it was more comfortable to sit in an armchair with his head resting on one of the chair arms.

Pretty early. Maybe 2 months? Then I used it alot when P was learning to sit. Made a great cushion around her. Now it's surrounding a floor plant to make it harder for her to get to. All in all, it's been a useful pillow.

I used it until I stopped nursing. It was just more comfortable for both of us.

Around three weeks because DD is a puker and I try to keep her upright for feedings. I'm hoping to use it for other things like supported sitting later.

7 months and still using our boppy with no end in sight. I really only use it when I feed her in her rocket I'm her room. If I am downstairs I have a pillow I use to prop up my arm. All because this child head is heavy and I am lazy!

@lamariniere: We stopped using ours for the same reason. Then I got used to having her more upright so it felt awkward when I tried to go back to using it around 4 months when she was out of the puking phase. We still use our boppy a lot for tummy time, siting in, lounging in, etc.
