I love the boppy. My baby nursed for 7.5 months and I used the boppy more than anything else I bought for her, except for the changing table. The deluxe cover is expensive, but worth it because it has a nice soft plush feel that won't irritate baby's delicate skin. I also like the fact that I was able to get one in pink and brown, to match her nursery decorations. I kept the clear plastic carry bag it came in to keep it clean when going to grandma's house or anywhere else. That way, I could toss it in the trunk and go, without worrying about germs or dirt. Even if you don't nurse, this will make your back and shoulders feel a lot better than laying your baby on your lap. Plus, it keeps your baby closer for snuggling.
