We got sent a boppy breastfeeding and support pillow to try out and as I couldn't breastfeed with Oli , I'm not currently breastfeeding so I asked the lovely Vic to try it out and tell me what she thought about the boppy.
''The obvious use of the pillow is for feeding support and regardless of whether you’re nursing or bottle feeding Boppy can be used with its ergonomic position designed to relieve stress on your back, neck and shoulders. The pillow’s horseshoe shape surrounds your body meaning that no matter how big your baby nor whether you use a more traditional or rugby style hold, they’re still supported. I have a short body and large and saggy boobs, I found that Little Mister needed to be in a much lower position than he was when upon Boppy. As a result I had him on the pillow and was having to lift my breast right up to meet him. Not ideal. The Miracle Middle stretch panel is supposed to stretch to fit most waists but it would’t stretch enough for mine and just felt uncomfortable around me. Now I know I’m not the thinnest of people but I’m certainly not the largest of mums out there.''
