Nursing pillow recommendations please

I have a newborn and am finding it uncomfortable to feed my baby as my resting hand is in a splint and I really feel the weight of the baby. I am bottlefeeding and am about size 14-16 at the moment. I read that the boppy pillow won't fit around my waist. Please can I have recommendations?

Mybreastfriend worked great for me despite the horrible name, got a knockoff boppy from Aldi so maybe try that first? It's very individual though I think - for my second baby i never even used a pillow, as she was too large.

Argos £14.99.

Have a look? Was my best baby buy.

Just saw you've posted twice, have pasted this in from the other one.

I just got this one, very cheap and the covers are about only £3 each (you'll need spares, I found that I tended to spill/drop my food more than baby sick but I am breastfeeding so stuck under baby for hours).
I got 2 actually, one for bed and one for the sofa. Perfect for feeding, makes no difference what size you are.
