How to Use a Baby Boppy

The Baby Boppy is a pillow designed to help support babies. It is frequently used by breastfeeding mothers to position their babies more easily. It also eliminates the need for mothers to hold their babies while nursing or bottle-feeding, which can become tiring and stressful on the arms, back and neck. The Baby Boppy can be used to support babies' upper bodies during playtime on their stomachs. As babies develop, it can be used to help support them in sitting positions.
