Chair in the nursery

Kindle

 

I was wondering if any of you used a glider rocker in your nursery?  Or if you found something else to be more useful for multiples.  We are expecting twins and the plan is to breast feed.  Our home is small so we need to make the best use out of the space we have.

Thanks in advance for you advice.

Our glider was a must have for me & at age 1 we still use it a lot. It was in our bedroom initially, then when we moved them to cribs, it was in their room, and then when we had to separate them b/c they were waking each other, we moved it to a different room (playroom) so we could use it with either of them during the night.  

This doesn't help your space issue but we absolutely love our Best Chairs storytime Quinn chair & ottoman. It is bigger than the standard one - for 2 reasons, b/c MH wanted the back tall enough to rest his head, and so that when they were older, we could comfortably hold them both on our lap to read, cuddle, whatever. A wider chair would be good for you also if you plan to tandem BF. But again, it does take up space!

 

The only thing I'd do differently with our chair is get the kind that is a recliner & a glider. DD was colicky and we had a lot of sleep stuff w/ both of them and some nights it wouldve been great to be able to recline & snooze while holding one, and sitting up it is a little harder (although I still fell asleep, just woke with a stiff neck!)

Yes, we have a glider in there and I still use it with them.  In a couple of weeks it is going into the new baby's room and I am really going to miss it in the girls' room.

We have a wooden rocker that we use occasionally, but you can really get by without one.  I BF on the living room couch or on our bed if we have guests.

I spent a lot of money on a chair for Emerson's nursery and never sat in it once.  I ended up going in the keeping room and sitting on the sofa to take care of Emerson's needs.  This go around we didn't bother with a chair in the nursery.  hth-

We used ours all of the time and still do. We have a glider. 

Yesterday I was at IKEA and found a huge overstuffed chair that rocked and wished I would have had that when I was bfing.

Very expensive though.
