The bobby was way too cumbersome for nursing. It was given to me as a gift, a lot of people said great things about it and I registered for it before my baby was due. In the beginning, I would spend a lot of time trying to get the boppy comfortable around me and in place before someone handed me my daughter during feeding times. Now I just grab my daughter, go to a chair/couch and find a comfortable pillow and do just fine without a boppy! The boppy is collecting dust. Pillows work just fine!UPDATE: after 2 years and 2 babies, the Boppy is now my favorite for when the baby is around 5 months old-7 months: for putting behind them for sitting up! I still can't stand the boppy for nursing, but I really love it for a cushion when they are sitting up!
