why we stopped using boppies


i know many of you are familiar with traditional boppies (the c-shaped pillows used for breastfeeding, etc.), but have you seen the "filled-in" boppies?

c-shaped

filled-in
Boppy Upholstered Newborn Lounger Seed Rows

i never used the c-shaped type, but boy did we love our filled-in ones. we started using them all the way back in february, when the twins came home. (see how teeny tiny they were?) we used them a LOT. the kids spent most of their time in these handy dandy pillows.

but time went on and the twins got bigger, older, and smarter. and they started moving. i'd come into the room to find them like this. or i'd look away and then back and they'd be like this.

 
(it's hard to tell, but austin is laying sideways in his.)


so sadly, the boppy pillows had to go away. i think i finally stopped using them in july. i probably should have stopped using them much sooner, but oh well. RIP boppy pillows. until our next baby...
