My Brest Friend Original Review
The Skinny
Our Analysis and Test Results
Nursing Comfort
Both the My Brest Friend Deluxe and original scored a 9 of 10 on nursing comfort thanks to the support they offer.
Ease of Use
The My Breast Friend pillows are nursing pillows that can fit just about any woman at any stage in their post-partum period. The buckle system helps to tighten the pillow close to the body to help minimize space for baby to slip into as well as maximize support for both you and baby. The buckle is especially nice because you don't have to struggle to remove the pillow before carrying baby to their crib. The wide surface of the original, measuring at 9inches is great for holding baby during both feeding and burping.
Ease of Cleaning
The My Breast Friend is very difficult to clean. The cover, although a nice 100% cotton fabric, is actually a poor choice for a nursing pillow because it soaks up any and all spills.
Likes
Both the My Brest Friend Deluxe and My Brest Friend Original scored a 9 of 10 on support. The foam base does not lose its structure with use and continues to allow both of mom's arms and baby to rest comfortably while nursing. My Breast Friend pillows are highly versatile nursing pillows and we found that they will fit well no matter where in your postpartum journey you are. We appreciate the adjustable buckle system as it allows you to keep the pillow close to the body preventing the gap that baby could slip into as well as enhancing overall support.
Dislikes
The pillow does take some time to get on and off due to its one buckle system, particularly if you are trying to do it with baby in hand. The buckle is only on the right-hand side of the pillow making it even harder for left-handed women. Thankfully the My Brest Friend Deluxe alleviated this problem with the addition of Velcro.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a pillow with a sturdy base and adjustable size, spend a little bit extra for the My Brest Friend Deluxe or the more plush Boppy Nursing Pillow.
