Not to be confused with Queen's hit "You're my Best Friend."
In the world of breastfeeding, I am aware of two major brands of breastfeeding pillows. The Boppy and the Brest Friend. Unfortunately, I have the pillow that sports the very uncool name - Boppy. I chose it because of it's versatile nature. Not only is it a breastfeeding support pillow, it can also be used to help baby learn to sit up, etc. I am fuming mad that it's called a Boppy, though. I hate that name. Brest Friend is clever and hilarious. I also secretly enjoy singing "you're my brest friend" to my BOPPY! Take that, Boppy.
Recently, I became a fan of "being awesome" on Facebook (Facebook, my dirty little habit that keeps me occupied spying and such for at least 20 min each day.) I am pretty sure that renaming your breastfeeding pillow to "my breast friend" is considered awesome. Also, no copyright infringements because MY pillow is spelled breast friend, not brest friend.
At night, when Isaac wakes to nurse and I can't locate my pillow, it sounds much cooler to ask Dave "have you seen my breast friend?" instead of, "have you seen my boppy?" I also enjoy asking Isaac to be patient while I situate my breast friend. When I have to nurse while away from home, I often find myself saying or thinking, "I wish I had my breast friend here with me now."
So, if you are in the market for a breastfeeding support pillow, I suggest the Boppy, but I highly recommend you NOT call it the incredibly lame name "Boppy," and instead go with breast friend.
So, to Boppy I say "I've been with you such a long time, you're my sunshine, and I want you to know, I really love you, you're my breast friend!"

Hilarious! I was laughing the whole time I read this! I am glad you have a breast friend....it is important for new mothers to make those types of connections....
I've always hated both the name 'Boppy', and the "Brest Friend', 'cause the spelling bugs me so much :-) I like your way best . . .
