WDYT - Rocker/Recliner too fugly for nursery? PIP

Mrs.Weggy · January 2010

DH bought this rocker/recliner before we ever met. It now sits in our spare (storage) bedroom b/c there is no way that thing was going in my pretty living room. It was pretty pricey and it is super comfy. I don't really like the look of most of the gliders that I have seen either. I was thinking about trying this in the nursery instead of buying a glider. I like that it reclines and that it is plenty big that I can easily sleep in it (if needed). The only problem (other than looks) is that my feet don't reach the ground if I sit all the way back. I'm wondering if this will be a problem while trying to BF my LO?

Oh, and we are having a boy and doing a sports theme nursery with brown, red, and blue colors.

If it's comfy, that's alllll that matters! You'll be spending a lot of time in that chair

I would never give up my rocker recliner for a glider. EVER. Best ugly purchase I made. I can not tell you how many times I had to sleep with DS in it. I BFed and practically lived in it for 6 weeks till we settled in.

It may not be attractive, but if it's comfy, then that is a good thing. Try a throw blanket on the back to make it match the room a bit better.

I would try it, looks pretty darn comfy to me! I spent many nights sleeping in our LazyBoy recliner with ds#1. You could try an ottoman if you feel like you need your feet on the ground but I would almost always sit cross legged with the boppy on my lap.

If it fits in the room... use it! As far as your dangling feet. That wouldn't bother me one bit. But I also like to cross my legs while I sit and I'm sure that's not going to change once the baby arrives.

You can always get a nursing stool to put under your feet if you don't want it reclined while you're nursing.
