Great design!

I really do love this nursing pillow. There's a lot to like about it. Pros: * I love that I can clip it around my waist, and then move around, without needing to awkwardly put it back on while while holding my baby. * It's adjustable * Comfortable * Very cute patterns * Great Design * The pocket it really handy * I mean, the name, who doesn't love it? Cons: * My baby grew very fast, he was very tall, so he was hanging his legs off the sides by the time he was 6 months old. * It is just a little pricey, but not too bad. All things considered, I love this pillow, and I'll be using it for our daughter when she gets here in November! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I hope you found this information useful.

A blessing for nursing, no other pillow like this, saves momma a lot of energy!

Wife loves this after trying to use a Boppy pillow the first month. This actual saves a lot of energy trying to keep the boppy from slipping out, because this pillow fastens around the waist and allows her to maintain a good posture and back support and good feeding position with minimal effort. (Football-feeding position also works great with this pillow, even though it doesn't look like it might) We bought this because her sister and good friend both separately recommended it. My thought was...it's just a pillow..but I'm here writing this review because she LOVES this and she says it makes a HUGE difference over any other type of pillow. Her sister nursed for almost 2 years with this pillow saving her a lot of energy/effort. Her other friend nursed for 18 months. If you don't see same-day shipping (and you live in a big city) keep choosing different colors/styles as they are different prices and different ones have different shipping speeds. The wife didn't care about colors or style and wanted any of them with same-day shipping since our newborn was days old and wanted anything that would help her feed better. Definitely worth it! Happy wife, happy life, happy baby!

Very helpful for new breastfeeding mommies!

Love this pillow. I was having many issues the first month of breast feeding my baby girl, mostly related to posture and positioning. I originally was gifted the Boppy, which comes in many cute designs, so I was skeptical based off esthetics whether i should buy this pillow, but once I tried it at one of my lactation appointments I was convinced and it definitely has made my life easier. I don't always need it now that I'm seasoned but it still is nice to have around for back support and for the baby to stably lay on. It allows me to multitask while she is attached :) sometimes I eat while she eats lol. Sometimes I put a blanket and my sleeping baby in the nook that goes around your waist while laying flat and she will stay asleep feeling cradled. I always keep her close and watch her of course!

Dollar for dollar, my best baby investment

I bought a My Brest Friend from a flea market for $5, and it has been one of my absolute most valuable purchases. Dollar for dollar, it has outstripped every other baby-related purchase. I have brought this pillow on 13+ hour plane rides, used it to nurse in the front seat of my car while making a pit stop on a road trip, and use it six times a day every day at home. It helps me position my baby in a way I can stand without my arms getting tired or worrying about pillows and blankets slipping from underneath me. I have had an extremely difficult and painful breastfeeding experience, and I would not have been able to continue if I hadn't had this pillow. Pros: 1. Love that it latches around your waist. Pull it tight and use it as a platform for your baby in any sitting or standing position. Much better than a boppy, since you can make sure this one is always at a consistent distance from your breasts. 2. Cover is washable. Get a second cover so that you can switch them out after your baby poops/pees/spits up/drools/excretes some other bodily fluid on them. 3. The slight back support makes it easier for me to get comfortable in unfamiliar chairs. Cons: 1. It's big. It takes up a ton of space on a plane, and is difficult to fit under the seat in front of you. For international flights, get the bassinet even if the baby doesn't like it. Then you can store your Brest Friend in the bassinet. 2. It's so good, it's made it difficult to nurse without it. When I realize I've forgotten it or if there's some reason I just can't bring it somewhere, I find the nursing experience much more stressful. 3. The covers are a freaking pain to get back on once you take them off to wash. The first time I washed it, it probably took me 8 minutes to get the cover back on. I'm down to 2-3 minutes now, but it's still a pain. 4. Some people might like the pocket, but to me it's not really in a position where it's terribly useful. I should really keep burp cloths in there, though, for when I'm out in public. When will I learn? Anyway, I've bought this one for my cousin for her first baby, and even though I paid full price for this one, I feel safe in thinking that it will still be one of the best investments in her nursing comfort.

Best pillow out there for nursing!

This pillow was a God-send for me while I was trying to figure out nursing. It works a lot better than the Boppy for my newborn. It creates a flat, stable platform to nurse and your newborn won't slowly push the pillow out and fall into the space between. At the beginning, I would take this pillow anywhere I was going to go where I planned on nursing. As I've become more comfortable nursing, I've tried to diversify and use other pillows or random couch pillows. I can do it now without this pillow, but I don't prefer it. It is so much easier on my back to use this one and involves so much less tugging to keep it in place. This is the style of pillow my lactation consultant had and I plan to buy one for every baby shower I go to from now on.

Why didn't I buy one sooner?

My Breast Friend has been the best nursing pillow for me! I had been nursing my son for a month, trying to figure it out as a first time mom. Which was causing some serious back pain and rib pain. I didn't realize how hunched over I was trying to nurse with the Boppy pillow or just my arms. After I purchased, My Brest Friend, It made a world or difference!! Those aches went away and nursing isn't a chore! PROS- Fits well for me, a 6-8 dress size. I'd like it a bit tighter, but still works fine. Adjustable for your perfect fit Fastens together on the side not the back When sitting, I support the pillow with my knee and can nurse hands free. Handy pocket Great back support CONS- Not travel Friendly Thin fabric cover Can't put on one handed. So I have to put my baby down, put it on, and go from there. ( Which is fine. Just a tad monotonous) Over all I would absolutely recommend this nursing pillow!

Buy this!!

I should have bought this with my first one, but when doing research on nursing pillows as a first time parent - boppy pillow was all the rage. But I hated the boppy pillow. With my 2nd one, I gave brest friend a shot and this is just so much more comfortable for both the mom as well as the baby. The surface is flat and the belt actually helps keep the baby in place. Yes, this doesn't multi-function like the boppy where you can use it for the baby to rest on etc, but I much rather have a comfortable nursing pillow that serves nursing as the purpose it was intended for first very well and then worry about multi functionality aspect. New moms - trust me buy this product and you will not regret it! I like that I can remove the cover and wash it, but I do have concerns about longevity of the product as every time I remove the cover to wash it, the inside sponge does show some wear, but I guess that is expected. It would be better for the manufacturer to have a liner along with the cover so constant removing and inserting outer cover, doesn't rub off on the sponge directly. I did NOT receive this product for free and neither am I affiliated with brest friend by any means. It's just a great product.

Best breastfeeding pillow ever!

My daughter lost too much weight post birth and we had to see the lactation specialist. They had one of these at the clinic and recommended i get one because my boppy pillow didn't work for me too soft. This was a godsend it made all the difference for me and my daughter she began to quickly put weight back on and could latch more easily ad well. Easier for me to sit in multiple seats to breastfeed andi can even grt up and walk short distances while breastfeeding to get water exceterea if needed. The little pocket that I initially thought was stupid is actually really handy i store my phone or tge tv remote in it and occasionally my water bottle but if my water is in it it is too heavy to walk around with

A fix for the stinky foam problem!

My wife just came up with a solution to protect the foam tonight. First we removed the fabric cover. Then we just placed the custom plastic packaging over the foam insert. Now the fabric covering easily slips back over the plastic covered foam. Now when there is a spill you just have to wash the covering!

My favorite breastfeeding accessory!

I used a Boppy with my first child in 2013, but didn't use it much. I'm plus sized (18-20) and found it didn't sit around my waist well and my son would kind of slide into the gap between the pillow and my body. I haven't had either of those issues with the My Brest Friend. The buckle keeps in snug to my waist and makes it feel very secure. It's also very easy to release one handed. The pillow portion is firm, but soft, so it's very supportive for my newborn without feeling too hard. The cover is very easy to unzip to wash and super easy to get back on. This is my favorite breastfeeding accessory!
