Times have changed A LOT since my kids were little. There are so many amazing new products available to make a parent’s life more easier as well as to better the lives of infants.
I work with little children and often we have babies come into our care. Today’s car seats and strollers are so high tech! Often I have a hard time figuring out how to remove the child from the seat or stroller. They are nothing like the ones my kids used 15+ years ago.
I’ve seen a lot of infant products that I really wish were available to me when my kids were infants. Take for example the built in “bunting” that comes with some car seats (to keep your baby protected from the elements) and containers that dispense the right amount of powdered formula for your baby’s bottle.
One product that I wish I knew about when my kids were babies is the Boppy Pillow. I’m sure most readers are familiar with the crescent shaped pillow.
The Boppy Pillow first came on the market in 1989. I didn’t know about them until my son was an infant (1999).
The Boppy Pillow can be used in a variety of ways. You can use it as a pillow to rest on, or rest your infant on, while nursing. It can also be used to prop your baby up when they are having “tummy time” on the floor. As your child ages the Boppy Pillow can be used as support to keep your baby upright and not falling backwards until they are strong enough to sit upright with no problem.
Because it’s a pillow I’m sure many other uses can be found for it as your child ages.
I was sent a Boppy Pillow which I donated to the classroom where I work. I am thrilled that we have one now. It’s something I have been wanting for the babies we care for. It makes me feel better knowing there is something for the baby to lean on so that they don’t fall backwards.
For obvious reasons I could not take a photo of a baby in the Boppy Pillow since it wouldn’t be my child, but here is the Boppy Pillow “in action” with one of our dolls.
