Really helps prevent back pains and takes the load off the arms

I really like that this is a waterproof cover that doesn’t stain and easy to wipe. It is a little cold/cool to touch for my baby, but I just lay a burp cloth down on it so there is some cozy comfort while he breastfeeds.

The lactation consultant at my daughter's hospital had one of these covers, which is waterproof and easy to wipe down, and we immediately ordered this one. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the fabric had a odor when it was first opened.The original My Breast Friend pillow is great for new nursing moms, however the cover that comes with it is not waterproof and has to be washed and hung to dry. This has to be a design flaw because babies are messy. This replacement cover fits perfectly and works well. Just plan on allowing some time for the fabric to air out or be washed and hung to dry.

After having milk spilt numerous times on the fabric that originally came with the pillow and needing to wash it, this cover is much better suited for leaky breasts, spit-up and anything else that could soil the pillow. You can wipe it off as opposed to washing the cover often. I used this cover in the hospital and fell in love with it.

Had no idea this product existed until my wife and I met with the Lactation Consultant a few days after discharge from the hospital.She had been trying various holds and positions using the Boppy Pillow we received at the baby shower, with little success.The Breast Friend was a game changer and probably saved our child from becoming a formula baby.We bought the pillow with a cloth cover, but if I had it to do again, I would just get the blue clinical waterproof pillow/cover set and have done.As it was, we bought this cover to replace the cloth one and haven't switched back.Wipes clean for most 'events' and can even be machine washed when things get out of hand (as they will do, sooner or later).This thing shouldn't be a secret, so tell the world!

Me da tanto gusto haber comprado esta funda. Mi bebe se ha hecho del baño algunas veces mientras le doy de comer sobre el cojin de lactancia y gracias a la funda el cojin sigue como nuevo.Esta funda la uso debajo de la funda de tela porque es de plastico y esta muy caliente. Es super facil de quitar y de poner y cabe perfecto debajo de la funda de tela.

Like many others here, I did not like the idea of breast milk/spit-up leaking through the original fabric cover that came with the Brest Friend and seeping into the foam. I bought this waterproof slipcover solely for the purpose of it being a liner. I'm happy to say that my fabric cover fits perfectly over top the waterproof cover - buckles and all! (I was worried that I'd have to cut the buckle and elastic pouch off of the waterproof cover to make the fabric one fit over top, but it wasn't necessary!) Also, having this waterproof cover made it WAY EASIER to remove and replace the fabric one. Definitely recommend!

Ok, so buying this slipcover basically doubles the price of the pillow. TBH, I was hesitant to hike up the price of a chunk of foam. However, it's worth it to turn what is basically a foam sponge into a functional and lasting breastfeeding support. Here's my experiences with this slipcover so far:-My LO has had 2 peeing incidents on the pillow. I took the slipcover off to see if it was truly waterproof, and the pillow looks like new! No spilling or leaking. I wiped the slipcover with a disinfectant wipe and was ready to go seconds later... clean up was a breeze!-MY IBCLC has the same slipcover, obviously for hygienic reasons, so why wouldn't it be good to keep my pillow clean?-The slipcover is and slippery, which some people may find uncomfortable. I overcome this by putting the fabric slipcover on over my waterproof one. The vinyl not only protects the pillow, but it also makes it easy to take the fabric cover on an off for washing. I put a blanket on the pillow to create a nest for my baby, and the crinkly nature is unnoticeable.Granted, I haven't had the slipcover for years (yet), but I am anticipating the slipcover helping it last for years. While it almost doubles the cost, I would think it's worth it, because it will prevent me from potentially having to purchase another pillow after my LO has multiple diaper or spit up incidents that would get absorbed into the traditional pillow, making it gross and eventually unusable if I didn't have this slipcover to prevent that from happening. (Let's be honest... poop, puke, and pee all happen during nursing and will most likely make its way onto and into your pillow without this waterproof slipcover!)EDITED almost 3 years later to add-I used this slipcover almost daily fora year, then packed it up in a plastic storage tub forBaby #2... almost 3 years later it is like new, and I’m using it again with #2! It definitely lasts!-

I was getting tired of constantly having to wash the original fabric cover that came with BF nursing pillow. I was pleased to learn that this product was available and can easily be wiped clean when soiled. The material that this cover is made from is stiff, plasticity and cold but I simply drape a receiving blanket over it when I nurse. I prefer this cover over the fabric ones as it actually protects the foam that the pillow is made from, the fabric cover allowed liquid to come into contact with the foam and I am sure after time it would have started to smell.

If you have a My Brest Friend pillow, then you should get this! The cover is vinyl -- no fabric at all, and I can't imagine it would be very comfortable to use without an additional cover on top of it. But it prevents anything from getting through to the actual pillow, and helps the foam keep its shape over the long haul. I use this with the and it is a PERFECT (though unfortunately expensive) set-up.I'm the mother of two kids, and used the My Brest Friend WITHOUT this vinyl cover for a few months with my older child. There's no better support for nursing than the My Brest Friend, but my pillow was pretty gross by the time I had to pitch it. If you've never used a My Brest Friend, it's not really a pillow -- it's a chunk of foam inside a fabric cover. Not particularly durable, not machine washable, and literally a sponge for any liquid it comes in contact with. As much as I tried to keep mine clean, every spit-up, blow-out, etc. seeped through the fabric cover and made its way to the spongey pillow. A terrible system for nursing support. I think a nursing pillow needs to be either machine-washable or wipeable. It needs to be something you can clean!I've dug in my heels about buying a new nursing pillow for my second child, because I couldn't find anything cleanable AND supportive and comfortable. This cover makes the My Brest Friend a real winner, and though it makes my nursing setup a little pricey, it's just what I need. There's no mess that can reach the pillow with this cover on. It even makes it easier to change fabric covers, since the vinyl is so slick. And though at first I thought the vinyl might be a little too thick and "crinkly," it's not like that at all once it's on the pillow under the fabric cover. You don't even know it's there. I purchased a new My Brest Friend to use under this vinyl cover, but if you're on a budget and considering a used pillow, I think you could buy this cover and feel good about a clean surface for a new baby.I feel a little silly writing so much about this, but I think nursing pillows are a big deal for new moms. There are a lot of options out there, but most of them have big design flaws. This cover, along with the My Brest Friend, is perfect. I think it's crazy to sell the My Brest Friend pillow as it is -- a wipeable and/or cleanable surface should be standard-issue for a forty-dollar pillow. Until that changes, this cover gets the job done very well.
