I thought that a Boppy pillow would be necessary for my baby. I didn't know how mothers throughout the centuries had survived without one. I was convinced I wouldn't survive motherhood without one.
Until I acutally used it.
It didn't really go very well. I'm a nursing mommy, and I just couldn't get comfortable with the pillow. It seemed like no matter how I positioned the pillow and my baby, something just wasn't right. I tried for a few weeks, and then gave up on it. I found it easier to just hold my baby, and he was (and still is!) a fast eater, so I wasn't hunched over long enough to hurt my back.
One day, I laid my baby in the pillow and let him watch me fold a load of laundry. He loved it! As a newborn, he would just lay in the pillow and watch me do whatever I was doing. Now he can roll everywhere, but I sitll put him in the pillow to watch Baby Einstein. It keeps him still...for a while.
So I didn't like the pillow for its intended purpose, but I love it as a little nest for our baby.
