The Boppy can be used for tummy time, they can lay elevated on it to have a bottle and help your LO sit. I enjoyed having mine and I only BF for 6 weeks. Brilliant- I tore bad too, if happens this time will try this. Great idea! I definitely found mine helpful and with the 20 percent discount at buy buy baby, it is so reasonably priced that once you find it to be more clutter than useful, you can toss it guilt free! I could use it while breastfeeding on the couch and watching tv.
Hope this helps and that I understood your question right! I found mine to be especially helpful since I had a c-section. It took pressure off of the incision, but still allowed me to feed and snuggle my baby boy. Kept mine, and used it as my son got older for propping and playing. So, necessary? Not really. In my case, extremely. LOVED my boppy.
My husband loves it too. In the beginning with nursing you are constantly hunched over and getting into a groove nursing constantly, my back hurt a lot the first month. You can always donate if you end up not using, I just personally felt like it would have been nice to have! I felt that my boppy was pretty essential, we used it for a ton of things.

Most breastfeeding helpers have seen breastfeeding pillows cause more breastfeeding problems than they solve. Picture the exhausted mother who has her baby on the pillow in her lap.
Sitting upright in her chair or even in bed, she starts to droop forward more and more, until enough of her body or breast weight is on the baby to interfere with his breathing. I didn't want one until I used one with my friend's newborn. They really help you hold the baby and take stress off your arms.
Couch pillows are OK, but the shape of the Boppy is what makes it awesome. I got mine really cheap. I LOVE my boppy. It was super helpful in the hospital for holding the baby, our younger cousins used it to hold her, and I used it at home all the time for feeding bottle.
She also laid it in on the couch beside me and we used it for tummy time. Then we used it to help her sit up assisted. Babies and infants are notorious for landing in positions that the are not supposed to. An adult should be present to make sure to pick them up as soon as they fall down or end up in a position which might restrict their breath-ability. Many infants experience Acid re-flex which causes them to spit up often and makes them miserable.? Their digestive system matures as they grow old, until them acid reflex can cause gas pain and make babies very fussy.
My daughter has terrible reflex and would spit up a lot during the early days. Proping her up on a bouncer or a Boppy pillow helped to keep things down. My baby girl catched a cold when she was just 3 months old. Clearing her nostrils with nose frida and making her lie in an upright position on the pillow gave her the relief. While investing in a pregnancy pillow has its own benefits, some of us would rather buy products that serve multiple purposes.
You can use a Boppy like how you would use a pregnancy pillow. Put them under the belly and between your legs to get better sleep. If you are experience back pain or sciatic pain during pregnancy, definitely use this to minimizes your discomfort in bed. Every part of my body was sore after my delivery of my son. I had a 3 rd degree tear and developed a hemorrhoid from all the pushing.
I dreaded sitting on the couch and bed for the first week or so. Sitting on the Boppy was so much better and took the pressure off my butt. I have also used the Boppy multiple times as a neck pillow or just throw it behind for my back support while I am sitting on the couch. My babies loved their play mat. With all the vibrant colors and toys hanging around, it was a hit with my babies.
Only thing is when they were too small, they were not able to reach for the toys and enjoy the sensory experience. Making them lie on the nursing pillow lifted them up closer to the toys. I remember my son who was 1. I made him sit down on the floor, wrapped the Boppy around him and he held his sister. That was such a perfect moment to treasure.
Of course, make sure to closely supervise.
