what parents are saying
This was really helpful when I was first breastfeeding since it fastened around my waist so I didn't have to worry about pillow dropping. (Jan 23, 2021)

Still getting used to it. But Im a mom with a not so itty bitty waist and it takes some adjusting tobget the perfect fit. But I do love its sturdy supportive structure! Jan 13, 2023

Chose this nursing pillow over others per midwife & lactation consultant’s recommendation and I’m so happy I did! I personally don’t use the strap but it’s lightweight and just the right firmness. A++ Nov 17, 2022

Love love love this pillow. I use it while walking around the house with the babe in addition to breast feeding. The back support is great for me. I wish I had this pillow in the hospital. Sep 28, 2022

I love this nursing pillow. I’ve used it everyday for over a year. I even bring it on trips because I can’t imagine the back pain I’d have if I didn’t. The pocket is great for nipple butter and vit d. Sep 22, 2022

Love, love, love! This made nursing feel like a breeze. Head support for baby, back support for mommy, and a nice little pouch for my phone and granola! Sep 16, 2022

It is more firm, compared to the Boppy, but it is hard to get around you one-handed. It gives great back support, comes in many colors, and is easy to clean. Sep 08, 2022
Makes a good latch easier! I got this when my baby was a month old and wish I’d had it from Day 1! It is better than the Boppy pillow in my opinion. Aug 09, 2022

This was not my favorite nursing pillow. It was very involved and not quick to situate. Aug 07, 2022
- Karisa L.

I have this and the boppy and STRONGLY prefer this. I love the waterproof plastic cover, the pocket, and the secure strap. You can tighten it securely as high as you want, so it’s the perfect height. Jun 25, 2022

Firm and sturdy to lay baby on. Best for cradle/cross cradle hold. Has back support which is nice! Jun 14, 2022

Love the soft cover much less rough on babies skin. Wish it was dryer safe though. May 23, 2022

Bought it but returned it. Didn't work out for wifey due to her large breasts May 07, 2022
- Bernice C.

Absolute necessity for parents. This has been a key ingredient to nursing my baby and quickly when a baby is crying for food! The pillow seems very comfortable for baby. Love this product! May 02, 2022
- Wendy L.

I loved the original My Brest Friend so much I bought the deluxe. The fabric is really plush and the pillow is supportive. Apr 01, 2022
- Tonya T.

Love the wide base, allows a lot of space for baby to lay as they grow to nurse! also love the pocket because you can put the bottle there or your phone, whatever you want close by as you nurse Mar 14, 2022
- Robin R.
Middletown, Ohio
I like the plastic covering because milk drips and baby spits up while lying there. It’s kept this pillow in much better shape than my regular deluxe pillow. I don’t find that it makes much noise Mar 08, 2022
- Rachel T.
Fishers, Indiana
Used with both my BF kids. Love that it’s flat on top so you don’t feel like the baby will roll off. Comfortable for mom to use in the glider or on couch. Feb 20, 2022
- Lauren D.

This is the best nursing pillow. The other popular brands are nice to look at but functionally this is 100% what you need for excellent head support and comfort for you and baby. Jan 21, 2022
- Kali C.

I have this and the boppy. I definitely prefer this in the early months, especially right after giving birth! It's super soft and I love that there's a pocket to put phone, nipple cream, or snacks Nov 09, 2021

I used this for both of my kids and have since passed it down to my sister. it still has so much life and was such a great product! Loved it! Oct 08, 2021
- Monica M.

I used this a lot when my baby was a newborn, but now (at 6 months) we rarely use it. It’s easier to just hold my baby than to strap into this pillow. Jul 11, 2021
- Jenny B.
Lake George, New York
This pillow was one of my favorite gifts of all the things I registered for. It supports the baby and makes breastfeeding so much easier!! Jul 05, 2021
- Abby L.

I have it, friend gave it to me. Although my son is still breastfeeding it came to me when he had already outgrown it. Will definitely be keeping it and using for the next baby. Jul 03, 2021
- Emily B.

sits high enough so that the baby can reach breast. this is THE breast feeding pillow to have Apr 22, 2021
I think this is a great pillow and I love it more than the boppy because I am plus size and this actually fits around me. Insider tip: get the twin size one! So much more room! Mar 08, 2021
- Olivia T.
Greensboro, North Carolina
Give SO much support. Love the way it fits even after giving birth. Love the buckle. Love the soft material. Super durable! Feb 22, 2021
- Meagan S.
Jupiter, Florida
Really glad I purchased this. It’s very comfortable and sturdy. Jan 24, 2021
- Alicia F.

This really helps position baby well for breastfeeding. Side buckle helps it stay in place snug against you. It is cumbersome to move (while holding baby) if you nurse in football hold and need to switch sides. Also, the fabric is soft but not waterproof, so any leaks or spit up can get to the spongy pillow underneath. Nov 13, 2020
This pillow is such a game changer. It has more stability than the boppy, and it's super comfy! I love that others can use it while bottle feeding too. Oct 01, 2020

Loved this when baby was a new born. Didn't use much when they got older though. Aug 16, 2020
- Ashton H.

Must have! This made breastfeeding so much easier after my c section. Helps you position baby and it stays put! My babe was so comfy on this pillow that he would fall asleep. Aug 15, 2020
- Nikki S.

Highly recommended by other mom friends. This is the best pillow for breastfeeding support. It's firm and the perfect height. It also has a storage compartment for snacks and other necessities. Jul 20, 2020
- Christy M.

My friend gifted me this and I am IN LOVE!! I can't imagine all of those late night feedings without it. The flat structure supports my babe and allows him to fall asleep after feeding! I love it! Jul 15, 2020

Makes breastfeeding newborns especially a breeze. I like that it has back support too Jun 29, 2020
- Melissa B.

Love this for newborn feeding over the Boppy for the first few months because there is firmer support to keep baby propped up properly and love the pocket to keep nook and nipple cream May 19, 2020
- Caitlin B.

This was really nice when my son was first born and i was new to breastfeeding. Also helped my husband when he was feeding a bottle. After 3 months,we didnt need it but a nice pillow for the beginning May 16, 2020

I had both this and the Boppy. I prefer the Boppy but this was great for travel or as a backup. The pillow was alittle flat for my taste but I liked the back support and buckle. The pocket was nice Aug 15, 2021

The best!! This was so helpful while recovering from my csection and helped me position baby as I struggled with the boppy pillow Nov 18, 2019

Nursing must have! Straps around your waist, the back pillow provides lumbar support, and it makes a cozy little nest for your babe to snuggle while you nurse. Store burp cloth, snack, etc in pocket. Jun 23, 2019
- Brittany H.
Cross Junction, Virginia
ery supportive and easy to use. I used this so much at first that I bought a second one. I’m still using it for night feedings. Definitely buy a replacement cover. Jan 05, 2019
- Stephanie M.

Best nursing pillow! Straps around your waist, great support, firm enough, love the little pockets. The strap helps to carry from room to room, sling it over your shoulder and carry your newborn. Nov 17, 2018

it was a pain to have to always buckle in place, and like the boppy it didn't put bub at a good breast position (tiny boobs) Nov 17, 2018
- April D.

I actually have the regular pillow but ordered the Deluxe slip cover. The difference is the original only snaps and is not plush. this one has the option to velcro closed as well. Nov 17, 2018
- Katherine P.

This was great in the early months with baby. Stays on, supports weight, and I found it more useful than the Boppy. Nov 17, 2018
- Emily O.

I love this more than the boppy! It's harder to travel with, but it is much more supportive and easy to use. I refer to it as my "baby shelf" and the pocket is great for keeping BF essentials Nov 17, 2018
- Megan K.
Macomb, New York
So glad I got this second time around! Stays in place and support baby's weight so well! Nov 17, 2018

Love the support and soft fabric cover. I have another feeding pillow and this is the best by far. Nov 17, 2018

I couldn't have survived without this pillow! I love MBF because of the buckle. I never had to worry about it sliding off when readjusting. BEST choice. Nov 17, 2018
