I was fortunate to get several hand-me-downs when I was pregnant of baby gear from my mom's neighbor. I have been lucky to try out two of the most popular nursing pillows via these hand-me-downs: the boppy and the my brest friend pillow.
What I tried:
1. The Boppy
Hands-down, this is my favorite. I like that it is able to be used for multiple purposes. It is not only a super comfortable nursing pillow, you can also use it as a prop for your baby depending on their age. I have used it on many occasions to lay my baby down, sit him up, or try to get him comfortable with tummy time. I also like that it is not super bulky but manages to keep him (and me) supported while breastfeeding.
2. My Brest Friend
This pillow is very firm. While it has functioned great as a back-up when the Boppy is in the wash, it is not my go-to for a nursing pillow. It is too firm and has no give to it. That being said, sometimes that is a bonus when you are cluster-feeding a newborn because you can strap it to your waist and you can get up if you have to while breastfeeding.
