Boppy Newborn Lounger Review + Giveaway

Boppy has been a brand name that I’ve known to be trusted since my 1st baby was born. If you ask many moms what baby must-haves are on their list, Boppy is most likely something they recommend. Since having my first baby, Boppy has come out with several new products that I’m excited to use with this baby. They sent us the Newborn Lounger in the Daisy Basket print for our newest addition who is due in 8 weeks.

Our newly designed wipeable Newborn Lounger is the only support pillow designed with a recessed interior perfect for a newborn’s bottom. While baby is lounging safely under your watchful eye, your hands are free to grab a toy, warm a bottle or snap a zillion photos.

With a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a newborn, I’m going to need several products to help free up my hands. The Newborn Lounger is shaped perfectly for a little baby to sit comfortably while mommy can play with older siblings, grab toys, referee sibling fights, clean up, and much more. Since our baby isn’t here yet, we used my cousin’s little boy – ‘Baby Z’ – to test out the Newborn Lounger. He is about a month old in this picture. I always hide faces of children who aren’t my own, so I’ve put a star over his face.

I’ve already found many great uses for the Lounger. It is perfect for taking pictures of baby. It sits them up just right so you don’t have to use blankets and such to get them in a good position for little photo shoots. As you can see in the picture below, it is also great for allowing siblings to bond with baby. That is actually Isabella beside ‘baby Z’ talking to him. It also keeps baby sitting up a little, which is especially great if they have reflux.

The Newborn Lounger is very light and has a handle on the top so that mom can easily transport it wherever she needs it. I would often lug a bouncer or portable swing upstairs with me when getting ready, but now I can just carry the Newborn Lounger. My only issue is that it doesn’t have a removable cover. Babies spit up – a lot – and it stinks. Yes, the surface is treated to be water resistant and is wipeable, but if you’re a mom, you can back me up on the fact that spit-up is potent! You shouldn’t put a blanket under baby unless they are tightly swaddled, because they might slide down, so if they spit up, its going on the Lounger’s fabric. The Boppy Newborn Lounger can be washed if wiping that spit up doesn’t get the smell out, but I have to wonder if it will get lumpy after a while. Even though it doesn’t have a removable cover, I can see us using the Newborn Lounger often!
