An alternative to the Boppy: the Bosom Baby Nursing Pillow

Bosom Baby makes an upscale version of a Boppy. Slightly bigger, the Bosom Baby Pillow is great for propping baby when you are nursing, or when baby is first learning to sit up and needs a buffer to fall back on.

It comes in some nice solid colors, and I love the material - especially the "plush" which is a soft velour. The ones with dots are great as it gives baby something to hold and rub.

The pillow can also be used as a maternity pillow. Mine conveniently came in the mail just days after my son threw up all over my old one (which of course didn't have a cover on it) so I switched over to the Bosom Baby. As it's a lot longer and bigger than a Boppy, it works well as a maternity pillow as well.

The Bosom Baby website offers a list of retailers where you can purchase the pillow, both online and locally. The pillow runs anywhere from $40 for the regular prints to around $60 for the plush ones.
