Good Rocking Chair for BFing?

Rydia · Jan 18th, 2010, 05:47 AM

I know its a bit late in the day for me to be asking this (my son is 10 months) but he is still feeding alot especially at night and I would like to get a rocking chair to feed him in instead of feeding him in bed. Anyone know of a good comfortable rocking chair for feeding? My son is 10 months and very long for his age, so I need one that would be good for feeding an older baby--I would like the chair to last until he is a toddler and then be useful for a second baby after that.

I don't have one, but I have used the ones Mothercare feeding rooms and they are very comfortable...

I think it was this one...

I don't have a specific brand advice for one but just wanted to mention that for me, having the arms of the chair slope upwards at the end made all the difference to my comfort level as if it slopes sort of downwards, like some chairs are made, you end up using your arm muscles more to hold up baby and this gets very tiring. Of course the breastfeeding pillows also help offset that issue.

Just wanted to mention as I didn't have the right chair to sit in with my first for awhile and was trying to get it all figured out and ended up having sore achey arms for a bit until I realized why, lol..
