Default Breast Friend?

I bought a Breast Friend nursing pillow at a rummage sale for $5. I was just wondering if anyone has used one too. Is it better, worse, the same as using the boppy? I used the boppy with the other 2 kids, but just thought it couldn't hurt to try this pillow, especially since it was cheap.

I think both are good and its really a matter of preference. Personally I like the boppy because it is useful when they are learning to sit up too. But at that price, I would have bought it too. With my last one, I had a c section and just liked a regular bed pillow.

the boppy is a kinda round pillow with a whole in the middle? if so that's what i used and loved it, i have never tried the other one though..but for 5 $ the worst you can do if you don't like it is give it away..

I have never used a boppy but I imagine for one child it's just hunky dory. I used the Breast Friend pillow for the twins and it was invaluable. You can't use a boppy for twins. But I'm not sure that I would've liked it for one baby. Where it would be really, really great is if you have a child who has latching issues or a preemie, or a baby who has difficulty nursing in particular positions or of course. . .twins. But like pp already said I would've bought it for $5 too!
