Boppy Love!

Namastè!

I hope you're experiencing copious amounts thereof tonight.

I'm here relaxing with Baby Namastè,  who's relaxing in his Boppy.

Before we jump in, I gotta thank Boppy for my pillow and covers. They sent me one right out for review, and it's been a wonderful lifesaver in the midst of everything going on here at Casa Namastè! While the pillow itself is sponsored, the views expressed in this posting are all mine and mine alone.

Since January 27th, 1989, Boppy pillows have been a staple in nurseries all over the world. Here's a little timeline of interesting factoids about them.

Since two weeks ago, it has been a staple in Baby Namastè's arsenal as well! We have the Boppy Organic Slipcover, in the elephants pattern. (We have two other slipcovers also--all elephants.) There are so many cute ones available, for boys and girls or gender neutral for those early shopper mommies and daddies.

As you probably know, Boppy pillows are designed for feeding, rummy time, and supported sitting. These C-shaped pillows are invaluable, from birth and beyond. For me, it's been a big help to my back when I'm feeding him.

As many great adventures do, our Boppy tenure began with a ring of the doorbell. Baby Namastè was keen to investigate. 

He loves packages, but since this wasn't a box, he didn't get to open it. Once I tore the wrapper off and put the Slipcover on, he thoroughly enjoyed testing it out. From lounging around to feeding time, this pillow is a quick favorite.

NOTE: A Boppy is NOT for sleeping. It is intended for use under adult supervision, and babies should not be left alone in it. It is not a babysitter. 

Used properly, it is a wonderful space for baby to sit, have tummy time, or lounge. (Darn good photo prop too!)

Baby Namastè's mobile now. He can crawl and will actually cruise along the furniture now. It's rare to get him to sit still...

He does sit in his Boppy, and often! The pillow is so plush and comfortable, and I believe he really digs its shape. For example, every morning I watch and sing through Sesame Street with him. He now expects to have his Bop-Bop to sit in while we sing and clap along. 

He also likes to lounge in it a bit. 

(Sometimes we match it on purpose...sometimes it just happens.) 

The Boppy is quite durable, and the covers are easy to put on and take off. The zippers are inconspicuously located on the back of the pillow. They're machine washable and come.out just as soft and comfy as ever. I absolutely love the fabric. My favorite is the plushier "elephant love" one because it feels like a teddy bear. Baby Namastè LOVES rubbing it when he is nursing. (Gives me a break from his other thing--when he nurses, he likes to grab a fistful of my hair. He does not pull, but it is still not my favorite thing.)

We've been using our Bop-Bop for a while now and I must say, it is everything it's touted to be. Baby Namastè LOVES it, which makes me love it even more. It's durable, it travels well, and it is cozy for him. Our morning routine is much smoother with this pillow, as he is often still sleepy when he takes his first feeding for the day. 

...and it's also a pretty sweet addition to our bedtime ritual, where I cuddle him til just before he falls asleep. 

I believe this pillow has earned every bit of its hype. It's definitely a must-have.

Namastè!
