Baby-poll poll Breastfeeding Mommies! Do you have a Boppy and do you like it? I`m developing tendonitis in my wrists from holding my son`s head while nursing so my doctor suggested better support than the couch pillows I`ve been using. Thanks!

I`m not sure which one I have, but I found that it was only useful till she was about 12lbs. When she started to get heavier, she`d slip down and push the cushion away. Now I just cross my leg and rest my arm either on the arm of the couch or pillows.

I LOVE my boppy... as a nursing mom I couldn`t live without it. My `baby` is now 15 months old and still BFed, and now when she`s ready to drink she actually drags the stupid boppy through the house to find me! It`s sooo funny because it`s almost bigger than her. haha, anyways... LOVE IT.

Loved my boppy pillow! Used it for about 6 months until he got too big for it. I should say that it`s been the best thing I bought to prepare for my baby. Now i use a big pillow but nothing like the boppy!

I used a boppy for my first and went and got a My Breast Friend for my second... the boppy was ok, but I LOVE my My Breast Friend, it`s more firm and supportive, especially when baby is little...

I`m with tiger21 and far prefer the My Brest Friend. Advantages: 1) It`s flat so the baby stays in place and won`t roll out of position 2) It straps around you so will stay in place 3) It has a pocket so you can stuff your phone, remote, paper, pen, whatever, in there.

walmart has them too. I got one at my baby shower. I think they are about 20 bucks and it worked great!

SherB: I`ve tried a firm bed pillow, a tempurpedic pillow, a couch pillow, etc. The problem is that my son is a wiggle worm and I`m constantly adjusting him because he gets stuck between me and the pillow lol. A regular one worked great up until a month or so ago.

I used the `My Breast Friend` (silly name, I know) instead of the Boppy and absolutely loved it. Very Supportive and comfy for baby.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
