Review of Boppy Bare Naked Pillow with Luxe Green Velvet Slipcover

Don't get me wrong. I love my boppy but if I had to rate it as a nursing aid (which I am doing so in this review), I would say it leaves much to be desired. When I first bought the boppy, I thought it was god's gift to moms. My son was a premie who learned to bottle feed first. I spent 3 weeks trying to teach him to breast feed. I bought the boppy and nearly cried in happiness because of the help and support it gave me. However, I own both the boppy and "my brest friend" nursing pillow. If you can afford both, get both. If you are looking for a great nursing aid, nothing can touch the "brest friend". Otherwise, I can see the potential of the boppy reading other reviews. It's got soo many uses as an all around pillow and I have to admit my husband and I fight over this pillow just because it's the most comfy pillow for taking a nice nap. The reason why I prefer the "brest friend" over the boppy:
1) Support: Boppy, unless you are sitting with your legs straight out, caves in towards the center where your belly button and the baby's belly is. I think it's uncomfortable for the baby. Brest friend is VERY FIRM support with raised pillows for the babys head on either side of your breasts. You can't see the "pillows". YOu have to run your hands over the pillow to feel it.
2) Ledge width: The Boppy is essentially a cylinder curved in a U shape. There isn't that much space for the baby to lie on. The brest friend is a wide flat surface. Plenty of space for baby and for me to squeeze on a cup and the remote control.
3) Valley: Because the boppy is a cylinder that's curved, there is a valley that forms between your belly and the boppy itself. My baby tends to fall in, get his leg stuck and it's not very comfortable. The brest friend forms a perfect right angle with your belly. Yet at the same time, this valley is a great for snuggling the baby while watching TV and making sure he doesn't move.
What I do like about the Boppy over the brest friend is that it sells spare slipcovers which the Brest Friend doesn't.
