5 Tips: Choosing Your Nursing Chair

What’s the Comfort Level?

Night feeds are hard enough. Night feeding in a hard and uncomfortable chair is even harder! Make sure your nursing chair is supportive and comfortable. Many moms might choose based on trend and style over comfort. Think about how many hours and even months you’ll be spending in that chair. Make the right choice!

Does it help you breastfeed comfortably?

Get a glider nursing chair with padded armrests. And make sure those armrests are wide. You’ll be able to rest your arm comfortably like that. Well designed armrests will help support you in your breastfeeding and positioning.

I definitely recommend getting one with footrests. When you elevate your feet, you’ll feel the pressure taken off your back. It makes breastfeeding so much more comfortable.

Is it easy to get out?

Ok. I know we all want a soft, comfortable chair. But be careful not to get too extreme.

Don’t get a chair that is way too comfortable, too soft or too big. It will be harder to get up and you might accidentally wake your baby in the process of stumbling out. Same goes when you choose a high chair for small spaces.

If you choose to get a reclining chair, ensure you can operate it easily when you’re seated.

Safety First

Gliders and rocking chairs are great but be careful around your little ones. They can pinch your children’s toes and fingers. Choose ones that have a stop-lock feature so the chair isn’t gliding or rocking when you don’t need it to.

Types To Choose From

The Glider

Gliders are very comfortable and usually come with an ottoman so you can put your feet up. They also won’t sink down into the carpet. Gliders are also typically smaller than a rocker. They still do the swaying motion, but smoother than a typical one in most cases. If you have a smaller room, get a glider for small nursery.

The Rocking Chair

These are the more traditional types that go into a baby room. Some can get uncomfortable after a long period of time. Many can recline and have a footrest. Some of them end up sinking into your carpet. These usually have more cushions and seating space than a glider.

High-back and Low-back

High back ones are good for laying your head back. They are typically more comfortable as well. Low back ones look more like normal furniture but they can get uncomfortable since you can’t lean your head back. You can typically get either a glider or a rocker in a high back or a low back.

Conclusion

A glider or rocker for nursery might be just the thing to make those night feeds more comfortable. Take some time to decide what you need first and do a little research. Whether you need a bigger or smaller glider for small nursery, there are many choices on the market.
