Utterly Yours - should I buy or is it just a gimmick?

Trying to decide if I should buy this little pillow to put under the breast for nursing. With DS, my boobs got to be about a 44 F and until he was well over 6 months old, I always had to hold the one he was nursing on with the opposite hand. And in the earlier months, I was holding his head with the same side hand. So I was left with no hands and he would latch on and stay there for what seemed like forever! I would get so thirsty/hungry, but have no free hands.

So now I'm wondering about getting this little pillow? I tried rolled up receiving blankets and didn't find that they helped to prop up my floppy boobs.

Has anyone here tried this? Good idea or waste of money?

Hi mama,
I'd try a washcloth or a small receiving blanket rolled up before I bought the pillow. I would let me know if spending $ on an expensive pillow like that would be worth it.

I tried washcloths and receiving blankets with DS and they never worked for me, but I don't want to spend the $ and have this not work either.

I have not used that, but unless it's really, really dense, it would just get squished down by your breast IMO. I always have to hold my breast while nursing too.

I might wait till baby comes.. I'm also large 38H and with my first DD I had to do all the holding and propping and would have gladly traded my most prized possion for a bobbie prop pillow. With my second though despite her being a very similar size to my first (smaller actually) she had zero issues latchign on and staying latched.
