The boppy pillow goes around the mommy's belly just below the breasts. Now, baby needs less support when breastfeeding and can comfortably lie down without straining the mother's arms - freeing them to do other things.
It is available online but I just had to check SM after a friend told me it's available in the department store. I found two boppy pillows, one from Uratex and one from Baby & Co. Above is the one from Uratex which costs around Php 1,200 ++. This is still cheaper than those found in Rustan's which is Php 2,000 ++ according to online forums.
However, this one from Uratex does not really go around the back because it has a velcro strap. What's great is the wide area for baby to lie on unlike the usual boppy pillows.
This one is from Baby & Co. which is similar to the boppy pillows I find on the internet. It only costs Php 500. I haven't made my mind up yet which to buy because I still want to see what Rustan's has to offer :) It's just great to know that boppy pillows are available in Manila for all expecting ladies.
Also check out this pillow for your growing tummy, also from Uratex.
