My Brest Friend or Widgey Nursing Pillow

[EvaLongoria]

I accidentally bought a widgey nursing cover instead of pillow. Now need to have a look into buying a the pillow. But have an option of buying a My Brest Friend Pillow 2nd hand. Any pros or cons for both of these pillows. Really need to decide by lunch time.

Thanks

I had a widgey, no experience of the other one. I loved the widgey, as it had so many uses. I put it behind me as back support or in bed as bump support when PG. Propped baby up in it so he wasn't flat on floor all the time. Was great for bf, and I particularly liked that I could use it on my side rather than in front to do different holds and so I didn't have to sit bolt upright.

Looking at the pick of the Brest friend, it looks a bit more rigid and maybe less versatile? But as I said, I never used one....

I had a My Brest Friend but I got a standard nursing pillow as a support for DD when she was not quite ready to sit unsupported... My Brest Friend is probably more useful at the beginning though. (I got mine late and hardly used it at all, but that's a different story)

I loved my Brest Friend - it had back support and held baby at good height.

It will make a useful wine tray afterwards, too...

I have a widgey and not finding it useful for lying baby (4 weeks old) as it is too high. Great for back support though.

I had both. Used MBF downstairs during day - brilliantly supportive and you could just leave DC on there and free up both hands. Used W during night feeds as it was smaller and quicker to put on in the bed that I share with DP.

Widgey, widgey, widgey!
