The top review of this product said the following: “The Boppy is a great all-around, multi-use baby pillow. I’ve found that the Boppy Pillow is better for breastfeeding because it fastens around your waist. However, I’m glad to have the traditional Boppy because it’s great for baby to lounge in and for tummy time. The black and white brocade pattern cover is so pretty and has held up really well in the wash as well.” (Super Ju Ju Bean)
