Despite seeing multiple lactation consultants and trying to breast feed my son for weeks I was reaching the end of my sanity. I couldn’t get him positioned correctly, couldn’t get him to latch… I was twisting myself into weird positions to try to make it work and failing miserably. Both he and I were so frustrated I was ready to give up. The boppy didn’t work for me- it was too small around and bulky on my small torso and my larger chest made it so my son wasn’t at the right level. On top of that it wasn’t feasible for me to find and use 5 pillows every time he needed to eat in order to get him positioned perfectly and end up with me still being uncomfortable.
My cousin told me about this pillow and I decided to try it before giving up completely in a fit of rage. Let me tell you, I could cry. The lumbar support helped my position immediately. The Velcro strap making it adjustable in size makes it a perfect, snug fit. It’s not so bulky and fits my shorter torso perfectly and works with a larger chest so much better for leveling my son to the right height. The small bumps on either side helped support my son’s head perfectly. Latching was so much easier once the positioning was there. We breastfed both sides for 45 minutes and for the first time he’s actually satisfied after eating. On top of the fact that it’s just designed fantastically, the fabric is comfortable and the pocket was a life saver not having to search for my phone to track feeding, keep track of the container for my nipple shield and have a bottle of water on hand and in easy reach. All of which would previously get lost under the mounds of pillows I needed before. Seriously. If the company needs a spokesperson, I’m your girl. Do yourself a favor. Buy the pillow.
