should I register for one? I already have a boppy but I hear the MBF is good for nursing too. However I am plus sized so I am kind of wondering if it will even fit around or be comfortable
I only had the boppy with my first but I borrowed the brest friend from my bff this time. I use my boppy during the day and the mbf for nursing in bed. I love it.
I just looked at that link. The one I am using must be the deluxe because it has the Velcro. I am a size 16/18 for reference and the ergo also fits me fine with no extender, but I could not wear it until a couple of weeks post partum.
I love having both a Boppy (well, a homemade version from MIL) and a Brest Friend. I think the waist belt is really adjustable so you'd probably be okay.
YES! It's wonderful and like pp said, the Velcro is very adjustable. And it sits higher up right under your breasts, so it's not truly around your belly.

I loved the My Brest Friend! I had the foam one (I guess that's the deluxe?) and it seems like it would fit a VERY wide range of waist sizes, because of the velcro end of the buckle. I say get it!!
I have both. I have gotten far more use out of my boppy than the mbf. I found it really cumbersome to try to clip and position the mbf while holding a screaming, hungry baby. When I was able to get it on in time, it was really comfortable and supportive. The boppy is just easier to use. I'm also plus size (20) and had no problem with fit.
I have both, and the MBF is great for those first few weeks when you're learning the proper positioning. After that it's just too cumbersome. The Boppy is worthless for breast feeding (for me - other friends have liked it), but we like it for laying her in it and talking/playing with her.
