Being a new mom brings so many new feelings to the surface. It’s funny how much my emotions were completely different with each one of my children. When I had Ryder, I went from working a full time job and always on the go, to sleepless nights and learning to come to terms that I couldn’t get everything done in one day and that showering was a huge accomplishment. When Siella and Gemma came, my focus was making sure everyone had equal time and attention with me. There were so many things that made being a new mom, three times over so special. The one thing that remained constant with all three, were the long hours of uninterrupted bonding with them, usually that happened in the middle of the night when they would wake to feed while everyone else was asleep. These times were meaningful and helped me ease into my new role and new life. I had plenty of time to stare and just be in the moment.
One essential that helped me fully enjoy this bonding was the Boppy® Feeding & Infant Supporting Pillow. I received one as a baby shower gift and remember registering for three different prints because the lady at the baby store told me this was a must-have on all registry’s. I took her word for it because not many of my close friends were having baby’s at that time, so I didn’t really have anyone to ask. But, I have to say from the moment I started using it, I never went anywhere without it. I could relax and nurse and most importantly, I could really connect and have that #BoppyLove.
The Boppy® Pillow is one of those items I can confidently say that every new parent absolutely needs. When Siella and Gemma came along, I even made sure to bring my Boppy® Pillow to the hospital with me. It is one of the most versatile baby products as it can be used for months. It lifts the baby up for ergonomic breast or bottle feeding, then it transitions to a prop pillow for propping up, for tummy time and learning to sit.
It’s amazing to see how much Boppy® has grown and expanded their nursing pillow line. There are several options now like the Bare Naked® Pillow (sans slip cover), Classic Pillow (offered in an assortment of patterns), and Luxe Pillow. There are also endless slip cover options from plush to organic and protective. The Boppy Company has also expanded into skincare, pregnancy pillows, breastfeeding accessories, baby loungers, baby clothing and plush goods, baby travel products, baby seats and more.

I LOVED my boppy when my kids were little! It was m life saver! I recommend it to all new parents.
Boppy pillows weren’t around when my kids were that age, but boy I would have loved one! They look so convenient.
Boppies are the best! I wish they’d been around when my oldest was a kid. When I discovered them for my second and third kids, I was in Heaven.
Oh how I wish these had been around when I was nursing my babies. They look wonderful.
My sister used Boppy pillows and recommends them to all of her friends with babies! And I give them as gifts at baby showers because they are so popular!
My wife and I got our daughter-in-law a The Boppy® Pillow when she had our grandson, Zak. He’s outgrown it and she is passing it on to her best friend, who is due for her first child soon
That Boppy is a great pillow for the baby and for mom. Your kids seem to love it and fit into it perfectly. I will remind all my siblings not to forget the Boppy for their young kids
Aww, how adorable! I miss those Boppy days in the worst way!
Aww, their pillows are so great for the little ones and they’re cute too. That checklist should be really helpful for registries or for shopping!
A Boppy pillow was something I had for both of my kids. It’s definitely something I recommend putting on a baby registry. I don’t know what I would have done without them. In fact, we still have my daughter’s and she’s 19 months old.
The Boppy® Feeding & Infant Supporting Pillow is a great baby shower gift. I like to give a gift that can be used as baby grows like this.
This is not the first time I’m hearing about the Boppy pillow and I have heard wonders about it! I’ll have to try it out for my baby!
That would be a great baby shower present for sure. I never had anything like this for my daughter when she was coming up. It would have been great to have had one back then.
Boppy pillows, for sure, were one of the greatest inventions ever for new moms who want to nurse their newborns. I, for one, can’t imagine how I would have been able to nurse my TRIPLETS, two at a time without my Boppy to keep me and my babies comfortable while they were feeding.
I love that they continue to create quality pilloSuch a great help especially for new mommies!
I had Boppy pillows when I was nursing my boys. Great products- really a neat invention!
