what parents are saying
I use the soft side pretty much all the time. I used the harder side when my son was a newborn. The only thing I didn't like was that the straps never stayed the same length, they moved easily. (Feb 09, 2016)

This is the best nursing pillow! I love the strap. Both baby and I are more comfortable nursing now with this pillow. May 07, 2022

Great for newborns and if you are a first time mom learning how to breastfeed. I like how this clips in place and doesn't slide as easily as a traditional boppy. This helped keep my newborn in place. May 06, 2022

I love this for nursing newborns! The firm side is perfect to prop up the baby! It keeps them at a great height until they get the hang of nursing then just switch to the soft side. Perfect combo! Mar 31, 2022

Love the size and the versatility. I use for nursing, and it’s big enough to save my back when nursing in bed at night. I also use it to nap on. Only thing I don’t like are the useless straps. May 25, 2021

This pillow is fantastic and made a huge difference in my year long breastfeeding journey. It took the weight off of my arms and helped my to relax. May 04, 2021

Much improved from first version. I love that my baby no longer rolls inward. It's comfortable to use and washable! Mar 11, 2021

I love the support, propping baby close to me. The pillow helps to provide a comfortable and ease latch for baby. I was given this pillow to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Jan 29, 2021

I LOVE this pillow! Enables me and the baby to get a perfect position and perfect latch every time! Jan 22, 2021

Saved me with my second! It greatly improved my baby’s poor latch. I used it for about 9 months and then no longer needed it. I noticed a huge reduction (none!) in clogged ducts while using. Must! Dec 22, 2020

Swapped the original for this one. So much better! Live the firm side for keeping newborn in place. I turn it to the side and it's great for keeping my newborn in football hold. Nov 21, 2020

I love that this pillow is thicker than most so I didn't have to hunch over to nurse. Nov 09, 2020

I wasn’t a huge fan of this boppy pillow. I felt I hardly used it and it was kind of uncomfortable. Maybe if I went with the original one, I would have loved it more. But this one was not for me. Oct 04, 2020
- Lindsey S.

I couldn’t have breastfed without this! We used the former side and it was amazing, I have lower sides on my rocker, and large breasts, and even at 1 year we use it every time we nurse! May 12, 2020

By far my favorite nursing/baby holding pillow (minus the useless strap). I have used this pillow every day through 3 kids. Washes great and saves my back/neck/shoulders Apr 03, 2020
- Victoria M.
Greenfield, Indiana
I love love this thing! It took a minute to figure out how it worked best for me, but after 2 babies it was a lifesaver. I could be more hands free with baby laying on the pillow Feb 06, 2020

Easy to wash/dry, belt, quality fabric. Enjoy the foam side for newborn and soft side as my baby grew. One of the best purchases. I had the brest friend and quality was terrible. Boppy wins for sure! Nov 25, 2019
- Francesca E.

I absolutely love the double sided features of this pillow. It has a soft and hard side to offer the perfect amount of support needed for breast feeding infants and growing babies! And easy to clean! Oct 07, 2019

Way too bulky. I have a short torso and baby was too high up and it didn’t work. A regular pillow worked much better and was a lot cheaper. Sep 18, 2019
- Danielle P.

I definitely prefer this one to the traditional Boppy. The base is supportive for the baby’s poster while feeding. The belt straps around your body to provide support for your back. Aug 02, 2019

Too bulky even when remove the bottom, was hoping to be able to use as a tummy time pillow also but will not work till time he can hold his head up by himself. Feb 24, 2019

Ideal for c section mom's and small babies the firm side is great for position baby just right Jan 16, 2019
- Daniela F.

I personally did not use this product very much. Due to being short I felt that whenever I laid my baby on it my baby was too high to breastfeed comfortably. Mar 27, 2018

The hard side helped tremendously with proper positioning! I will be using this again with #2 and will be packing it to bring to the hospital. Feb 19, 2018
- Amanda K.

LOVE! Had original but always had to shove a pillow under it to get it to the right height for baby to bf. This solved that problem when we bought for baby #2 and I was so thrilled with it. Nov 27, 2017
- Bethany F.

I do not use this at all! Most of the time I don't use anything to support my baby while nursing. If I do need support, I grab whatever is near. Oct 27, 2017

I love nursing with this pillow. My guy had a bad latch, so the firmer side worked the best for us. I also use the softer side for tummy time. Oct 08, 2017
- Lindsay R.

lifesaver. I use them whenever I am on the couch with my little one. I am not sure how useful it will be as she grows, but for now its a great support. Jun 08, 2017
- Katie D.
Staten Island, New York
Love this better than the boppy pillow. It has a hard side and a soft side and the buckle really helps the pillow stay in place. I feel I get a better latch with this pillow and use it to bottle feed. May 20, 2017

I registered for this after reading the reviews on Baby Lab. I am tall, with a long torso. The shape of this just didn't work for me. I passed it on. Sep 17, 2016

This pillow is okay. The strap isn't comfortable and I prefer the my breast friend nursing pillow for support. This one is easy to wash which I love. Jul 06, 2016

Will be using this with my newborn, I'll repost my review after i've tried it out. May 19, 2016

Like the design but too much padding. Couldn't use the hard side - baby couldn't get close enough. Needs a washable cover - why don't they have one for this?! Strap was very handy. Mar 29, 2016
- Andrea S.

I never used this. maybe because i had such a small baby, but it just sits in the corner of our nursery. May 31, 2015

I nurse my baby sitting in my lap now that she is a weeks old due to her reflux. Don't use it much but I see how it could be helpful, especially with heavier newborns, to save your back and arms. Feb 21, 2015

Love this! Made nursing so much easier! I love how you can make it stay in place! Nov 07, 2014

great nursing pillow! Loved using the firm side while nursing, then baby would fall asleep and I'd be able to keep her there with little effort. Love that it straps around your body, too. Oct 10, 2014

It's been alright. I do like the firm side more than the soft side. I do find that I still have to use other pillows to prop her up. Sep 25, 2014
- Viviana S.

I started out with this pillow and it's OK, though I never bothered with the strap. Switched to My Brest Friend, but we kept it so my H could feed her a bottle in comfort & we'll keep it for sitting. Aug 25, 2014
The pillow is reallllllly nice. However our wee one had reflux so we couldn't lay her flat. Jul 28, 2014

I used the firmer side to lay my son on and it was nice to rest my arms on when he fell asleep at some feedings. Jul 24, 2014

This is for the Boppy Thimbleberry- not the original boppy. This is GREAT for nursing. Jul 07, 2014
I really like this pillow. I have the original Boppy, the Brestfriend, and this one. This is the one I use most. I like that one side is firm; baby stays on it good. Jun 21, 2014
Love this! This has made nursing positing super easy and I love the clips to hold it in place. After my csection I could hold her on the hard surface and she loves to nap on it In my lap on too! Jun 20, 2014

We are finally using it for breastfeeding at 7 months, I love it, my baby is comfortable while feeding and I am able to have my hands free to do some online shopping while she feeds...lol. May 24, 2018

This is the amazing hybrid of the original boppy and the my breast friend. Firm side/soft side and a buckle. I use it to lean on when we play on the floor, too. Dec 23, 2017

I love the Brest Friend pillow but wanted to check this one out to see if it was better. It was too padded - felt like baby came up to my chin. And the strap was too flimsy. Mar 20, 2015
