We have several friends who are expecting their first babies in the coming months and they have been asking us (the “experienced” parents of one!) what our “can’t live without” baby products were.  I give them all the same answer.  I don’t even need to think about my answer .  There is one product that was far and beyond the absolute best baby product I ever purchased, my Boppy Pillow.  It was definitely my “can’t live without” item and is always my answer when anyone asks me to recommend a baby product to them.  From the day Maya was born until I stopped breastfeeding it was never far from my side.  I used it for everything.

From the day Maya was born I began my love affair with the most wonderful baby product ever created.  As a breastfeeding mom I used my Boppy for it’s originally intended purpose, as a pillow to support the baby during breastfeeding.  Breastfeeding was so much easier having that pillow on my lap to support the weight of my baby, especially in those early days when I was still sore from her delivery and later as she began to weigh more it was again a godsend for my tired arms.

But, I quickly discovered that the Boppy is far from being only a breastfeeding support pillow.  The uses for the Boppy are many.  It was great as a little place for Maya to nap in those first days when she was so tiny.  She would nap almost as peacefully (and as long) in her Boppy as she would on my chest.

It was also very useful as a place for Maya to sit, before she could sit up on her own, in order to give her a different vantage point.

As Maya got older and was learning new skills, like learning how to sit up on her own, we found yet another use for it.  It was perfect as the support and protection she needed in order to begin sitting up on her own.

Even our cats enjoyed the Boppy

So, to all our friends expecting babies in the coming months, as I’ve said in person, I say here again, by far my favorite baby product is my Boppy Pillow.  Go buy one (if you don’t get one as a gift), you won’t regret it.
