Whenever I found out I was pregnant there was one item that I knew I had to get, a Boppy Pillow. I had a Boppy with my first two babies and it was such a lifesaver on more than one occasion. Not only did it help with breastfeeding but it helped give my little babies a place to rest their head without being flat on their back. It’s been almost 8 years since I had my last baby and A LOT of things have changed including the variety that Boppy now offers. They have expanded their products to provide moms with even more options to help them with their new babies.
The Original Boppy Pillow
The original Boppy Pillow is perfect for any mom, whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding. It helps give you’re arms some much needed support so that you can focus on what matters most, feeding and snuggling your baby. The pillow is designed to fit comfortably around your mid section, allowing you to prop up your baby for a more comfortable position for feeding.
The great thing about the Boppy is that it grows with your baby and can be used for other things besides feeding time. I used mine quite often for tummy time or to help prop up my kiddos after feeding. Both of my babies suffered from pretty bad reflux and had to be elevated after each feeding to help with digestion. The Boppy worked wonders!
Help With Breastfeeding with the Boppy Best Latch Nursing Pillow
I was so excited when I received the Boppy Nursing Pillow because it’s a great way to help with breastfeeding! This nursing pillow was developed with the help of a lactation consultant who specializes in breastfeeding. What makes this pillow unique is the two different surface types on the pillow. On one side is a firm surface which has a soft minky fabric. This firm surface helps newborns and younger babies as they are learning to breastfeed with mom. It also features a removable foam insert which helps elevate baby closer to you when feeding.
On the opposite side of the pillow is a softer side filled with fiber, that gives a more snuggle soft surface for growing baby. The pillow has a removable and adjustable belt up to 52 inches.
Cleaning the Boppy Pillows
Each of the Boppy’s are easy to clean. They have a removable cover that can be thrown into the washer anytime it needs cleaning. There are also replacement covers available in stores.
Boppy Bloom Skin Care Collection
In addition to nursing pillows Boppy now offers the Boppy Bloom Skin Care Collection. As most moms who have nursed babies before can tell you, your skin, especially around the nipples can get dry and irritated very quickly. With the Boppy Bloom Soothing breast balm you can get soothing relief from these aliments plus get overall protection from it happening again. The breast balm is 100% natural and lanolin free. It’s non-greasy, hypoallergenic, paraben and phthalate free, so you can feel good about nursing your baby even with this balm on your breast. You only need to apply a small amount of this balm because a little bit goes a long way. I love this breast balm and look forward to having a product that will help combat one of the most uncomfortable parts of breastfeeding.
Boppy products are one of those must have baby items whether you are a new mom or you’ve done this parenting thing a time or two. The feeding and nursing pillows are great to have on hand and make the perfect baby shower gift, in my opinion.
