Can you use this as a nursing pillow?

No, not really. It doesn't wrap around your body like a regular Boppy does, but it's worth it to have both the regular Boppy and this one!

Not really. It doesn't wrap around and if you lay it in your lap the sides are too high for baby to get to the boob. It's really just for baby to hang out on.

No, this is not meant to be used as a nursing pillow as it does not contour your body. It is meant to be used in addition to a regular boppy. A place for them to chill out while you are getting ready to nurse or right after you finish.

I am not sure why you would want to.... The purpose of the pillow is to allow adjustments to obtain the perfect level of support for your neck.... Without water it doesn't seem like it would be very comfortable and I am sure you could find another product better suited to your needs.

I do not believe so. I would get a bobby pillow that people frequently buy for breast feeding babies. Get the one with the pink cover 100 % polyester. It works outstanding. My grandmother his heavy too and the boppy pillow saved her. I bought this other pillow that you are asking about here, and it was not that comfortable compared to the big boppy pillow. You can put the boppy pillow in the washer and dryer too, and it will not get messed up. Actually if you did that it will actually bop it back out. Hope this helps.

Yep, you can! I made pillows with photos on them out of this fabric. It worked wonderfully. Here's how it turned out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7528267@N02/7205251998/

In my opinion no. This product isn't big enough to accommodate larger children as it is designed for infants. For that instance I would recommend researching travel pillows for toddlers.

As far as filling, the one I got is fairly firm and stuffing doesn't seem to move around, I don't think using it as a body pillow would do too much harm to it.

We would not recommend using the Gel'O Cool Mat as a pillow of any kind. The mat's height is only about 2cm. You can roll the mat up and slide it under your neck for use like a support, but that may not retain the actual cooling purpose of the Gel'O Cool Mat.

No. I agree with Elizabeth Emami answer!! The purpose of the pillow is to allow the perfect level of support for your neck. Thats the real purpose for this kind of pillow.

It would be tight. I didn't use a Bobby for nursing because my son was really long and he and the pillow wouldn't fit.

I don't think you can. I would recommend passing on this one. After a short period of time it will lose its ability to stay firm. I wake up and the pillow is totally flat. I had to stop using it.

I'm not sure if it can be used while breast feeding. I believe it's too big to fit in your lap, and the middle is lower than the edges. It would be difficult to position. I have the standard Boppy as well. I think this serves a completely different function.

I have found that it is really comfortable for breast feeding both with and without my breast feeding pillow....if I forget my pillow the chair is small enough that it can act as a support for my arm. The more I'm using it the happier I am with it.

That might work OK, but keep in mind that the pillow is quite small. Folding it in half would make for a tiny pillow.

Yes, you can! I just bought this pillow last week, queen size. It was too high for me, so i opened one end, removed almost two grocery bags full of stuffing(its just loose foam pieces ). Now its perfect, fits in the pillowcase better too. I'm saving the stuffing in case i need to add some later.

Yes but it's not real thick or fluffy but with a pillow it would work very nice I believe.

Definitely, yes. It would be fluffy enough, but not big enough in surface area. I didn't realize that the company made a less-fill pillow though, so you might want to email the owner and see if they have a larger one? It can't hurt to ask!

I don't think its made specifically to accommodate nursing, but I know moms who have been able to. Personally I don't think I could haha!
