I bought a My Brest Friend from a flea market for $5, and it has been one of my absolute most valuable purchases. Dollar for dollar, it has outstripped every other baby-related purchase. I have brought this pillow on 13+ hour plane rides, used it to nurse in the front seat of my car while making a pit stop on a road trip, and use it six times a day every day at home. It helps me position my baby in a way I can stand without my arms getting tired or worrying about pillows and blankets slipping from underneath me. I have had an extremely difficult and painful breastfeeding experience, and I would not have been able to continue if I hadn't had this pillow.
Pros:
1. Love that it latches around your waist. Pull it tight and use it as a platform for your baby in any sitting or standing position. Much better than a boppy, since you can make sure this one is always at a consistent distance from your breasts.
2. Cover is washable. Get a second cover so that you can switch them out after your baby poops/pees/spits up/drools/excretes some other bodily fluid on them.
3. The slight back support makes it easier for me to get comfortable in unfamiliar chairs.
Cons:
1. It's big. It takes up a ton of space on a plane, and is difficult to fit under the seat in front of you. For international flights, get the bassinet even if the baby doesn't like it. Then you can store your Brest Friend in the bassinet.
2. It's so good, it's made it difficult to nurse without it. When I realize I've forgotten it or if there's some reason I just can't bring it somewhere, I find the nursing experience much more stressful.
3. The covers are a freaking pain to get back on once you take them off to wash. The first time I washed it, it probably took me 8 minutes to get the cover back on. I'm down to 2-3 minutes now, but it's still a pain.
4. Some people might like the pocket, but to me it's not really in a position where it's terribly useful. I should really keep burp cloths in there, though, for when I'm out in public. When will I learn?
Anyway, I've bought this one for my cousin for her first baby, and even though I paid full price for this one, I feel safe in thinking that it will still be one of the best investments in her nursing comfort.

You need this.
I originally had a boppy, which was useless. There's quite a learning curve to figuring out breastfeeding, for both mom and baby, and it's really hard to try to figure things out while your newborn keeps slipping into the gap between you and the pillow. That's where my breast friend steps in and saves the day. It buckles around you creating a secure, snug fit and the foam makes a great platform to prop your baby right up to you. This pillow seriously saved me and my son's breastfeeding journey in the early days. I used one for the first time at an appointment with a lactation consultant then didn't hesitate to buy myself one. My only grievance is some quality control with the stitching. It seems to be a little loose in some areas but is still holding up with daily use for the last two months.
