Why We Love It: Hunching over to feed baby can do a number on your back, so nursing pillows, which prop baby up, are a godsend (plus, they get baby in proper feeding position). Our rec? The ubiquitous Boppy Feeding & Infant Support Pillow. This cushy horseshoe-shaped pillow provides ergonomically correct support, and a new "Miracle Middle" stretch panel fits comfortably around even Daddy's waist. Bonus: As baby grows, the pillow becomes a handy baby prop for tummy time. We love accessorizing with the super-soft Pottery Barn Kids chamois personalized Boppy covers that you can just throw in the wash.
What Real Moms Say: "When you spend a full third of your life breastfeeding in those first few months (my daughter would feed for almost an hour, every three hours!), you just need to be comfortable and the Boppy makes it so easy," Sue from Union, New Jersey, said.
Where to Buy: The Boppy pillow costs $24.99 (slipcovers are sold separately). The Pottery Barn Kids slipcovers cost $25 each. To order online, visit:

10/19/2011 12:27:10 PM Report AbuseOk I have a 16 year old and one on the way. I didn't use alot of these products, but I don't consider these " Products We Can't Live Without. There are many more product's that we and our child/children really need and use, and always shop around for the best price's, the product may not be exactly like the ones you see here but you always can find something very close and simlar to it.
3/5/2011 01:27:57 AM Report AbuseI commented previously but it seems to have been deleted. I love the Sophie tething toy because all the other teethers were too big for my baby's mouth. I also love the Boppy. Just remember that if you shop around you can get some of these products or similar products cheaper.
7/17/2010 04:29:04 PM Report AbuseI found My Breast Friend to be much more comfortable than the Boppy. The Boppy wasn't tight enough to stay around my rib cage so I had to have it resting on my lap and that made it too low to be useful. Since My Breast Friend has a velcro belt on it I was able to wrap it as tightly as I needed in order to keep it up higher and have my baby at the correct height to do an efficient cross cradle position.
7/16/2010 06:48:48 PM Report AbuseI used the boppy for when my children were learning to sit up. I would put it behind them so if they fell backward their head did not clunk on the floor (my middle child would acually throw himself back so this definitly saved some lumps on the head.)
