can anyone recommend a good, quite big, breastfeeding cushion that I can use as a back pillow or support for my baby please or does anyone have a second hand one they want to sell?

Thanks

Hi, I borrowed a boppy cushion and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is small but that means it is alot easier to use. I used to sit at the table with dd feeding and have my hands free to eat myself.

I used the blooming marvelous one and it was great. I bought it while still pg and used it at night to get more comfortable. Then used for breastfeeding, propping up DS when he started sitting up and DS loves to cuddle up with it now (he's 2). I would recommend buying a couple of covers because it can get mucky and I found that I used it all the time so waiting until the cover was washed and dry seemed like an eternity.

The boppy pillows are great but quite different. They're much firmer. Not really the kind of thing you would use in bed.

I also got a long blooming marvellous one( r was it from bump to 3?? not sure now) I got it when I was pregnant and its was great to help me get more comfortable in bed. I used it loads while breasfeeding and to sit my dd in it when she was learning to sit on her own.
Definitely worth every penny.

arwenevenstar - I have one I'm looking to sell - keep meaning to put it on eBAy, but haven't got round to it... Also have 2 pillowcases for it (plain cream, but I'm sure you could get a more Jazzy one...)

Will send you an e-mail...

I aslo had a v shaped cushion - dead cheap. I used it while pregnant (under bump), while breast feeding and then behind DS when he was learning to sit up, so we he launched himself backwards he didn't crack his head on the floor!!!
