I cannot imagine learning to breastfeed without a Boppy. The Boppy helps you comfortably rest your baby while you nurse. I even took this in the car with me on road trips. When we pulled over it was much easier to feed her in the car with the help of the Boppy. I would recommend purchasing 2 covers.Boppy Flowers and Chocolate Slipcover, PinkIt is a bummer in the middle of the night if your baby spits-up or has a blow-through diaper. The Boppy is also great when your baby is learning to sit on her own. It offers great support and if she has a tummy ache she will enjoy laying on it.
