Review on Frida Mom Adjustable Nursing Pillow: Ultimate Comfort for Moms and Babies with Back Support, Waist Strap, and Heat Relief Pockets by Cody Siger

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I can't make this thing work!

We have a bedside bassinet so it works best to nurse baby in bed at night. My trusty Boppy from my firstborn doesn't get baby high enough so I end up bending forward unless I mega prop it up with pillows. I wanted something higher and this fits the bill, but it's bizarrely firm and leaves a big gap between the pillow and my baby. Baby rolls in and has to be set back on the firm flat top. Clipping the belt on helps but if I have it clipped I can't lean forward to grab baby from the bassinet or set him back in after a nurse.It's also a little lopsided somehow so one side still needs a blanket prop to keep his head level with his belly.When we first unwrapped it, it had a wildly strong plastic smell from the foam components and the cover still had the smell after a run through the washer. Putting all pieces out in the sun for a day worked great to speed up the offgassing and it doesn't smell at all now.I wish I could figure this thing out because it's a great idea and well made, it just doesn't seem that functional. I'm hoping I can pass it to a friend so it's not a waste of plastic!
