Definitely a rocking chair and one of the things I needed when I brought one was it to be wide enough that I could comfortably breast and bottle feed while sat crossed legged and arms that weren’t too high and uncomfortable again while sat crossed legged as that was how I always sat when feeding and rocking to sleep!
@Isobel can I ask which one you got in the end? Thanks.
Would love you both to share which ones you used, if you don't mind 😊 I'm finding the options a bit overwhelming! @Jo it was more for either my partner or I to sleep on whilst baby is in their cot if needed, but not sure if that's something we'd need. It was just mentioned by some friends as an option
@Annabel I picked up a nursing chair on facebook so not sure what it is. You are more likely to bed share than sleep in there from personal experience. Some people choose to put a bed in the room but obviously can't if not much space.
I never bought a nursing chair and never felt I needed one. During night I breastfed in bed and during the day was just wherever I was 🤷🏼♀️
Definitely a rocking chair. I didn't sleep on it, not safe to hold baby and sleep. Nursing chairs are great because they are padded and you can stop the rock but they are quite large.
