Boppy
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- A dedicated chair/recliner is not necessary (I like mine but its in the living room, I used a Boppy for nighttime feeds mostly).
- I never used the chair, I used a boopy and the corner of the couch like near an armrest. ... My top recommendations would be: ... a boppy pillow
- Parent context: That makes a lot of sense! It’s so easy to get sucked into buying these types of gadgets when baby will likely be better off without it. Reply: Same! I use the boppy so she can sit on the couch (facing me, of course) or...
- I used my boppy all day everyday
- My baby always hated tummy time. On the boppy while sitting on the couch with us (not on the floor) was the only way she would kind of tolerate it
Cons
- I think boppy might make a similar pillow now too?
- I received the boppy as a gift and the first week we used it and I HATED it. It did not provide the support my floppy tiny baby needed.
- I also have the boppy but that’s been better for tummy time than actually breastfeeding.
- I have a boppy and never use it. To me it’s awkwardly shaped. I’ve ended up just using regular pillows to feed, much easier IMO.
- She has a Boppy, but it doesn’t sit up straight enough and she grew to hate it.

Parent context: That makes a lot of sense! It’s so easy to get sucked into buying these types of gadgets when baby will likely be better off without it. Reply: Same! I use the boppy so she can sit on the couch (facing me, of course) or on the bathmat while I get ready so she can freely play with/reach her toys.

Have you tried putting a pillow under her. Some kind of tummy time pillow or a boppy?
Now that my baby is bigger I use the boppy more.
I received the boppy as a gift and the first week we used it and I HATED it. It did not provide the support my floppy tiny baby needed.
I really liked my Boppy but I never had a Brest friend to compare to. It was useful for feeding in the beginning, then for tummy time, then for supported sitting for my little one, so very versatile!
