Boppy started with a mom creating a pillow to support the babies at her daughter’s daycare. Beyond propping, tummy time, and sitting support, moms realized it was also a great ergonomic pillow for nursing. The Boppy® Original Infant Support and Feeding Pillow was born and quickly became a parent must-have because of its comfort and versatility.
To this day, our products are thoughtfully designed by mothers and women who continue to find innovative ways to better support parents and caregivers. Our innovation manager calls our products “her babies” and puts so much thought and care into each design.
Leveraging decades of experience and listening to parents, caregivers, and health care professionals, Boppy supports all momkind from pregnancy through the first year of baby’s life with versatile, easy-to-use products.
Mission: SUPPORT FOR ALL MOMKIND
Having a baby is exciting, hard, beautiful, scary and makes us stronger than we thought we could ever be. Boppy wants to be there to support parents from feeling fierce to feeling like, “uh…how do I do this?”
…because all momkind can use a little support.
