The BEST nursing pillow - using now for 5 months,
April 16, 2011 LovebeingMom - See all my reviews
This review is from: Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow, Lola, Cream (Baby Product)
I have been using this pillow now for 5 months and it is the BEST! If you are nursing your infant in the 'football' hold, flip the pillow downwards like an 'n' (tage side up) and it is the perfect height to your breast. When your baby is a couple of months old and you change nursing positions to a cradle hold, it is again the perfect height as shown in the product image. A firm nursing pillow is essential.
What I love about this pillow:
* there are no straps/buckles
* it is firm not floppy
* it can be used in different nursing holds (football and cradle)
* durable, after 5 months of daily use it still feels and looks new
* the cover can be removed and washed

love pillow and price, needs a handle,

This review is from: Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow, Suri (Baby Product)
This is my 3rd baby to nurse. Love "my breastfriend" with the first two, but price is a little too much for me this go around (my 1st 2 are older). Tried the "boppy", but HATE it - does not fit, is not comfortable, is not the right size to nurse. Balboa baby's nursing pillow is great - comfortable, easy to use, and good price point. It is perfect for snuggling up with baby while nursing, and is comfortable enough for baby not to roll off, so during the night I don't worry about falling asleep :). The biggest con - needs a handle, when removing from under baby before standing up. My hands are a little small, and there is no good place to grab it to sit it on the floor, as all the "outside" surfaces are tall. Overall, GREAT nursing pillow.

Terrible nursing pillow!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow, Suri (Baby Product)
I bought this pillow because it was one of the tallest ones out there and I am a very high-waisted person with a very tiny baby. The problem is that it's tall only on one side (6" or so) and on the other side (the one closest to your body) it is very short (about 3.5"). This means the baby just rolls off and then in between the pillow and my body, pushing it out of the way. There is no way to keep baby on the pillow. This is the WORST design of any pillow I have tried, including the Boppy, and trust me, I have tried them all!
