Do you have a loved one that is getting ready to bring a baby home from the NICU? You may ask yourself what you can get them and their baby to celebrate this amazing time. Bringing a baby home from the NICU may look different from when a baby comes home right away with parents. Their baby may have had a short NICU stay or a lengthy one. When first coming home, the baby will probably need extra care and attention. It can feel good to search for gift ideas that help new parents welcome home their baby.

Boppy Anywhere Nursing Pillow Gets Awarded Good Housekeeping’s 2021 Parenting Award

We are honored to share that Good Housekeeping recognizes the new Boppy Anywhere Nursing Pillow with the 2021 Parenting Award. Scientists, editors and real parents evaluated hundreds of products and awarded the Boppy Anywhere Nursing Pillow as a “stellar caregiver support” product for practical postpartum care.

Experts agree, babywearing has so many benefits for both caregivers and the baby, it’s no wonder that we see more and more parents, grandparents, and sitters using baby carriers. Some of the benefits include regulating the baby’s temperature and heart rate, bonding more with the baby, helping the baby be less fussy, and improved cognitive function. For the parents, it offers convenience, reduces postpartum depression, and makes exercising easier.  

It takes a lot of stuff to raise a baby and after baby outgrows something you are left with the question, “That was great. What do I do with it now?”

Our Boppy community has been sharing the ways they keep the #BoppyLove going with alternative uses for their Boppy products when baby is done with them. Here are some of our favorites!

Birth is an intense and magical adventure. No matter the outcome, it will change your life forever, always keep you on your toes, and lead you to a constant state of discovery of yourself and the world around you. By now, your partner may have already picked up your nursing pillow, carrier, and a bunch of other products you didn’t know you’d need, and are preparing to give birth! But birth is not just a thing a pregnant person does. Birthing partners are just as important in creating the positive memories we all hope to have surrounding the births of our children.

At Boppy we put safety first and work to ensure you are using your Boppy product(s) correctly and confidently…because there are enough unknowns in parenting!

In honor of June Safety month, we are adding to our safe-use communication and need your help! We invite parents and caregivers to take and share the Boppy Pledge. Our goal is to reach as many caregivers as possible by the end of June Safety Month.
