 10X Better than Boppy, easy to clean, use it standing up!Jul 01, 2009
By Y. R. Wu
"The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare - Juma Ikangaa"
The removable cover (zipper) makes this easy to clean (just make sure the velcro is stuck to itself when you wash it or it will stick to all your nice socks.)
My wife tried a boppy for the first month then got this, which she used continually for the next year. She has used it for all 3 of our children. The Boppy my sister loaned us was pretty flat after she used it for only one child.
You can even use it standing up or when you move around since the strap goes around your back. The strap also provides back & lumbar support. The pocket is a nice touch (you put your Lansinoh, cell phone, baby nail clippers, etc in it) The only possible downside is it isn't that easy to put on with one hand (for example, if you are already cradling the baby)
If you're price sensitive look around, there are often significant discounts for older colors.

 Brest Friend vs BoppySep 13, 2007
By Emily Hanks
I bought "My Brest Friend" because my "Boppy" was losing it firmness. MBF is definetly more firm and hasn't lost the firmness. It also supports your back. I like MBF better than the Boppy. My son however still prefers the boppy. I think that MBF is too firm for him. It keeps him awake so he does eat better, but it is not good for the late night feedings where we want him to go to sleep.

 Very comfortable, but cumbersome to put onJan 18, 2008
By lorila
I used this for my baby's first month or so, while we were still getting the hang of breastfeeding. It was very comfortable and gave great support. I then stopped using it because I found it too awkward and time-consuming to put on and take off, especially while trying to hold the baby in one hand while he is wriggling and screaming for a meal. At those times, I wished I had a Boppy that I could just shove around my waist in a hurry.
My 7-year old daughter uses it to help her support the baby when she wants to hold him. It works GREAT for that, she can hold him without having to support all his weight with her arms.
PROS: It is very comfortable to wear and supported both me and the baby very well. This is a quality product, very sturdy and well-made. The cover zips off for washing.
CONS: It can be difficult to get the pillow around you and fastened when you are holding a baby in one hand. When your baby starts learning to sit up and you want something to support him on the floor, the Boppy works, but My Brest Friend doesn't.

 uh, not for meDec 30, 2008
By Paty Kay
I used a boppy pillow with my first six yrs. ago. I couldn't find the old boppy so I decided to try the new nursing pillow.
It IS very supportive, it makes a shelf on your abdomen for your baby to lay on.
But...
-You can't safely hold baby while putting it on.
-It's quite large and an odd shape, which makes it difficult to store.
-It's pretty stiff and at times I feel like my baby is unsafe on the pillow (It feels like he's going to roll off).
The Boppy...
-Was more compact to store.
-I could swing it on and off without putting down my baby.
-It was multipurpose! I used it for nursing, tummy time, and for sitting baby in a reclined position, we had lots of fun with that boppy.
I have to find my Boppy!

My Best FriendFeb 02, 2007
By Carr Sick
I think I practically wore this every day for the first 6 months of my child's life. It is awesome! It is great to sit up in bed and feed because it gives you back support. The child feels very supported as well. The cover is very easy to wash. I used it for a photo prop as well and to help her sit up when she was older. My only complaint is that I did not invent it!
