> 3 dayLOVE THIS!! Offers great support while nursing in bed or around the house - writing this review while using it. I love that it is really adjustable (important for me as a plus size momma). It is quiet to take off when done thanks to the snap buckle. And I really like that it has a little storage pocket - comes in handy as often my each is limited once I start nursing baby. I had the boppy with first born and hated it… this is much much better!

> 3 dayI lived with this thing on. Made nursing so much easier and comfortable for both of us. Can also be good for bottle feeding but not totally necessary

> 3 dayI’m not a first time mom, but I can tell you, I wish I had this the first time! It makes nursing so easy and pleasant for me AND baby! I’ve used a boppy before and the Brest Friend is so much more ergonomic. I do use the pocket (so I always have nipple cream and baby finger nail cutters at the ready). It’s such an essential part of my everyday that I find it hard to give it up for a few hours to wash and hang dry. HIGHLY recommend! You’ll be logging lots of hours breastfeeding, might as well invest in the best.

Greater than one weekI purchased the gold super deluxe. I loved using my regular deluxe grey one previously for ebf several kiddos. I ended up gifting it along to a family member after our last baby. Now expecting again, I purchased this similar one which is slightly thicker than the regular deluxe. I like that this one has a waterproof plastic cover over the middle portion where babies generally spit up, making it easier to protect the foam from milk seeping through. The color is more of a cantaloupe yellow versus dandelion yellow that is shown in the picture. Not a big deal to me but some people may be big on color coordination. Between this and the organic cotton one that I ordered, I will be keeping this one bc it actually has less of a chemical smell straight out of the package. Also, not sure why some people say these covers are difficult to take off and on to wash. You just have to unzip carefully and compress the foam as you zip. Ive never had a problem. I also prefer the softer texture of the polyester. I am generally a very natural fabric kind of person, but when it comes to these, I feel like the polyester is softer against the skin. As for temperature regulation, when the weather gets hotter, I like to use a light cotton burp cloth, like a muslin one, laid across the top to both protect from spit up and have a little more sweat absorption for baby and my body and I only use it for feeds and then take baby off. The bumps on the top can be awkward at first until you figure out how to position your arms and babys head and body and then I think it feels more stable than I ever felt with a regular pillow or boppy (look at their site or the picture it comes with for proper positioning). It takes some personal adjustments but once you get the hang of it, its a very supportive pillow.

> 3 dayI didn’t know if we were going to end up breastfeeding, but I went ahead and bought this pillow at 9 months pregnant. When I had my daughter, we brought this to the hospital and it was a LIFE SAVOR then. It helped her latch so easy! She is now almost 5 months and this is something we use daily. If she’s really fussy, we put her on the pillow and sway, and it helps calm her right away. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but it’s me using the pillow while walking to a beach wedding WHILE feeding my daughter. That’s how versatile this pillow is and helps so much if you have stuff to do around the house. I am also a plus size woman (5’8, 290lbs) and this pillow fits me great, and could fit a bigger woman than me. Hope this helps!

> 3 dayI had initially been gifted another popular brand breastfeeding pillow, which was so unsupportive. This pillow has greatly improved the comfort of breastfeeding. In the early newborn days, my baby would even nap on it between feeds. Highly recommend to any breastfeeding parent.

> 3 dayIf you’re breastfeeding this is the ULTIMATE GAME CHANGER. Way better to use bc of the Velcro and it allows it stay in place. I’ve purchased other pillows to use and this one right here is the icing on the Cake! There’s also a pocket in the front to help you keep a birthing cloth or nipple cream near by.
