Baby Nursing Pillows
nursing pillow in action (not me)
I have only about 12 weeks before my baby is here and I need a new nursing pillow. I for one loved my boppy. I got rid of it a while back when I wasn’t sure whether or not I would have any more babies. Well, now I am and I need a new nursing pillow. I saw one on Craigslist but I was in the middle of moving and I didn’t get a chance to go get it. Sigh. When I first got my nursing pillow, it was a blue boppy and it was about 7 years ago. Back then they came in about 3 colors, all solid and got kinda gross after a while. You could wash the whole pillow but that was about it. Now they make boppies in all colors and make removable covers you can wash! Woo hoo!
Okay maybe I am a little ahead of myself. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, a baby nursing pillow is a pillow designed to help you nurse. There are many different baby nursing pillows out there check out this link for more:

Basically, find the one that fits best for you. Like I said, I have always liked the boppy. You can check them out at the store and see what seems to fit you best.
You don’t NEED a baby nursing pillow, our moms didn’t have them but it is nice. I never brought mine out with me but I would use it in the place in my house that I nursed in most often or on my bed. Just having it there and not having to hunt down a throw pillow was great. Baby nursing pillows also just fit right. Sometimes a throw pillow is akward and just doesnt feel right. Baby nursing pillows help give your arm a rest and take the weight of the baby’s head away. I recommend nursing pillows, espically the boppy.

I like the Boppy as well, but would highly recommend the hard to find inflatable My Breast Friend. http://bigapplemom.com/2008/09/28/nursing-pillows/
