This is a discussion on Utterly Yours? within the Due in June - Shaping Little Sunbeams forums, part of the Due Dates By Month category; Has anyone every tried one of these? I ordered one online but I'm curious about reviews......
oooooohhhhhh!!!! I just googled it. I've never heard of them, but that would be very handy, I'm on the larger side (DD) and I remember with DS struggling to keep them up in a good position for baby.
I am no help because I hated all nursing pillows. I am a weirdo and would just hold Isabella and that felt more comfortable for me. It looks liek it would be a great help though.
It sounds like it would be very helpful.
I dont know how many things for breastfeeding i will buy though.
I will probably only breastfeed for the three months i am off work and will never breastfeed again since this is our last. Hopefully breastfeeding will work this time.
That's a really neat idea! I'm a DD and always hate having to hold it in the right position for the beginning, makes it hard to nurse in a sling at that point while out and about.
What an ingenious idea! I am ordering one today. The whole two handed thing was the only thing I disliked about nursing. If this could eliminate that and give me a hand to play with or read to Emily during nursing then I am all for it!
Thanks!

I may have to order one too! I always had to hold my breast to nurse, especially since Kate was so small! What a pain! It would be nice to have a free hand since I will have Kate near by.
Lisa, while I loved the Boppy it didn't help with the fact that gravity takes over my boobs and I have to hold it to make sure it was straight in Kate's mouth. It looks like this little "pillow" just props the boob up and the Boppy can still prop the baby. I hope that's what I am seeing! I sometimes wish I was a bit smaller!
Kristina - I am reading it the same as you. I think this replaces your hand for breast placement (I always felt like I would smother the baby if I didn't hold up my boob), but you till use the Boppy for baby placement.
I am intrigued and a bit excited to try this product out.
