I have used my boppy since my baby was 2 weeks old. It is brilliant and i have even taken it on holiday with me. Initially I thought it was too firm but now think it is ideal, as baby is supported and doesn't sink into a soft cushion. It is comfortable to use, especially when protecting a caesarean scar, and it easily fits around anyone's waist (big or small). As my baby is now bigger it is great to have something firm to support her. Infact, she associates it with milk and when she is ready for bed she will drag it over to me for bedtime milk! The only drawback is the initial outlay and the cost of the spare covers for washdays.
