hello what's up welcome back to my
channel or welcome to my channel if you
I knew my name is Kristen and I'm the
mom of two little boys I've been almost
three year old and I've got my newborn
son here his name is IRA and today I'm
gonna be telling you guys about the
Boppy pillow my thoughts and opinions
I'm also gonna be showing you guys how
to use it
so the Bakke pillow what is it it's
supposed to be the breastfeeding Mama's
best friend it's supposed to help
support your arm which it does and help
you feed a baby I personally never
breastfed I've always bottle-fed even
with this guy here but even still I
really enjoyed having this product here
to help me support my arm and feed my
child so when I had my c-section with
this guy I can move a birth story down
below everything went really smoothly
but I still had to lay in hospital bed
for a few hours and like a weird
position and having this pillow under my
arm really helped me be able to feed my
baby when I had my first son I never
used this pillow I could not figure out
how to use it comfortably personally I
think the issue is that has such a long
labor and then it in a c-section I think
my the midsection which is so sort and
so swollen that I just couldn't
comfortably use it so if you end up
having a birth experience like that and
you're not able to use your boppy you
can definitely still use like just a
regular size pillow that's what I used
with my firstborn I just laid it across
my lap when I was like sitting at the
couch or something but I was not able to
feed him at all in the hospital it's not
for the first couple of days just
because I were a tango made it so hard
to hold him but after having this kiddo
and having a c-section that went really
well was planned I was able to use this
pillow to prop my arm up and feed him in
my hospital bed so I think this was a
really nice thing to have so even if
you're going to bottle-feed
I think a bobby might be worth picking
up so let me show you guys how to use
the body so there's a few different ways
some people like to do it right across
their midsection as such to put it long
ways and then if baby can you know be
alright bother be able to do what he
needs to do or you can pull the bottle
and feed them
personal preferred way to use the Bobby
you losing your binky aren't you
there's no fun to lose your binky
so my preferred method to use the Bobby
is to turn it sideways a little bit so
turn it put in turn it like such and
then babies sauce plenty of room to lay
on the pillow and my arm is completely
supported but I find but I personally
find this to be the most much more
comfortable session to have my body
pillow in you're getting hungry aren't
you competing home you can't keep that
binky in your mouth so I can easily a
whole ire like this he's got plenty of
room till way I feel much more
comfortable having my pillow around my
midsection like that around my side so I
just comes down to personal preference
but I really enjoy having this pillow
it's definitely come in handy I'm not
using it so much now he's a little bit
older but during the first couple of
weeks I relied on this a lot while
feeding him so definitely an item I
think that's worth picking up I know
some people also like to use it to let
their baby you do tummy time with and to
also like let their baby sit and lounge
in it I've personally never had much
much success letting a baby lounge on a
Boppy I know they sell inserts so you
can do that my kids have always looked
really uncomfortable I can insert a
picture my picture is of IRA
he's only a couple of days old and that
I just propped him up to get a picture
of his going home outfit you can tell he
looks very uncomfortable and with my
firstborn I had a body that had an
insert to it and again we struggled he
never looks comfortable in it and then
some people like to use it for tummy
time again my firstborn hated doing so
many time in general so I can't fault
the floppy on that he just hated tummy
time this kiddo might like it he's
getting about to age to try the tummy
time so we might try with the boppie I
can show you guys a picture of kind of
how that works but my personal
experience with the boppie as far as
setting baby in it has not been a
positive one but for using it as if
which is to help you support baby and
feed them I think it's great and this is
coming from a by feeding mom I mean I'm
sure breastfeeding moms love it but as a
as a bottle feeding mom I've quite
enjoyed it I can definitely speak for
that so that is my thoughts and opinions
