Ok, moms, let's face it: no matter how small your little one is, holding them up to each boob for 15-20 can seem more like an hour and can take it's toll (on the bright side, look out for sexy arms in the upcoming months. burn, baby, burn!). For those of you who would prefer to simply relax and enjoy the breast feeding session without it being coupled with an arm workout, this product is for you.
The Boppy is a c-shaped pillow that you place around your waist while breast feeding. It provides support for your arms while you are holding your baby up for feeding by filling in the space between your lifted arms and your lap. (see picture below) Perfecto!
Check out the Boppy Website to buy products, gather care instructions, check their blog, and all that other great stuff. While you can get everything you need from the website, here are my favorite selling points for the product:
- Cover comes off for washing purposes
- Covers come in all different colors and designs and can be bought separately to satisfy the mood of the day(yay!)
- Transitions into a prop for tummy time & lounging
You can find your new friend and Babies 'R' Us, Target, Walmart, etc.
Bottom Line: Your arms will thank you.
