My Brest Friend is fully endorsed by Lynda Leach, midwife and lactation consultant at the St John & St Elizabeth Hospital in London: "As a practising midwife and lactation consultant, I would fully recommend the use of the My Brest Friend to help with correct positioning of baby at the breast. Unlike other breastfeeding cushions, it has a firm base and therefore baby does not sink into it. Also, as it wraps around Mum and can be secured, it will not slip off her lap. It has a handy pocket for tissues, muslin nappy, remote control or even a phone! It is comfortable to use and supports Mum's back" Lynda Leach BSc (Hons) Dip HE RM IBCLC

I bought this when I was expecting baby number 2, knew I wanted to breastfeed but wanted to avoid the backache I experienced when feeding my first child. This cushion has made breastfeeding so much easier, I have totally avoided any backache this time and I haven't had any difficulties positioning my little girl - the design of this cushion, with bumps on it and the clip to hold it securely in place ensures that it stands out from the other products that I looked at. Would highly recommend it to any breastfeeding mum
The best feature of this is also its worst - the click together all around arrangement. While it keeps the pillow steady,mit does make fitting it rather difficult if you have baby in hand. Therefore only 4 stars

Better than Boppy, easy to clean, use it standing up!
4 April 2007
The removable cover (zipper) makes this easy to clean (just make sure the velcro is stuck to itself when you wash it or it will stick to all your nice socks.
My wife tried a boppy for the first month then got this, which she used continually for the next year.
You can even use it standing up or when you move around since the strap goes around your back. The strap also provides back & lumbar support. The pocket is a nice touch (you put your Lansinoh, cell phone, baby nail clippers, etc in it) The only possible downside is it isn't that easy to put on with one hand (for example, if you are already cradling the baby)
If you're price sensitive look around, there are often significant discounts for older colors.

Great nursing pillow!

I used a Boppy with my first three children, and wanted to try this one out with my fourth. I'm now using both this one and the Boppy, depending on what I'm doing, where I am, etc. I will say that I like both nursing pillows, but in different ways. This one has great back support if where you're nursing the baby at the time doesn't provide it (though it's still nice even if you're in a chair that has good support), it allows you to get up and move around while nursing the baby (a definite bonus if you've got more than one child), offer good support for a nursing baby, and has a handy pocket hanging off the front to stash small things in if you need to. The cover is also relatively easy to get on and off if you need to do so to wash it, though I wouldn't say it's any easier than the Boppy with a cover - neither really has a major advantage over the other in this category. The primary disadvantage the My Brest Friend has compared to the Boppy is that it doesn't work nearly as well if it's unbuckled, so you have to take the time to buckle it before you can start nursing the baby, which can potentially be a hassle if you have a baby that's firmly convinced he or she must eat NOW. I will also say that sometimes the little bumps on the pillow that appear to be designed to help position the baby's head can sometimes be annoying if you don't have the pillow positioned exactly right, though that's really just a minor annoyance at times.
I still like my old Boppys at times as well, since they are easier to throw on and sit down with quickly, but it does prevent you from being able to get up and move around, since standing up pretty much just causes the Boppy to fall off, and because it doesn't buckle on, it has the possibility to being harder to get everyone positioned just right for nursing - the fact that the My Brest Friend attaches to you means you can move it up higher more easily than the Boppy. The My Brest Friend definitely has some nice features that the Boppy doesn't have. If I could have given this four and a half stars I would have, as the only reason I would take off half a star is the hassle of having to get it fastened to work well. Ultimately, if you can do so, it would probably be best to try on different nursing pillows and see what works best for you, since the best pillow is going to be the one that helps you nurse your baby the easiest. But this is definitely one I would suggest trying out if you can do so - it's a very nice, well done product!

Mom of 3--best baby product I have
13 Nov 2007
I breastfed my first child for 18 months and my second child for 16 months--and I am so upset I didn't know about this product! Now I'm breastfeeding my third child and I wear this pillow at least 6 hours a day. It's so comfortable that I just leave it on sometimes after he falls asleep! I can walk upstairs, answer the phone, vacuum--whatever--and he doesn't wake up. He's only 10 pounds and the pillow supports his weight; I just keep a hand on him for safety. It offers great back support and it fits while I'm sitting in my computer chair (with arms). The Boppy is bulky and makes you completely immobile; the Brest Friend is a much better choice. Did I mention I love this pillow? I'm wearing it right now!
