Re: Product Spotlight: Rocking Chairs & Gliders w/o 4-5
But this Babyletto recliner is like the Cadillac of nursery chairs and I really want to splurge on it! It has power reline which would be so much nicer than the clunky manual recline that we have that wakes up baby after you just rocked them to sleep. It has a phone charging port too!

The recliner was helpful in the early infant days when I was still trying to get my son to latch. It's wide enough I could sit cross legged and have pillows on my lap to prop him up higher for more comfortable feeding.
In the nursery, that is rather small, the platform rocker worked well though. I liked the narrower arms because it helped support my tired arms when holding him. (It's a similar style to this, just slightly less ornate)
If you're on the shorter side, I highly recommend a slanted foot stool (you can search "nursing stool" on amazon or buy buy baby for options). I would have had endless "asleep" legs had I not gotten that. It made rocking/feeding so much more comfortable!
- Favorite [rocking chair/glider]: I can't find our chair for some reason. This is a similar product by the same company: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/kidiway-kidiway-santa-klara-bonded-leather-glider-java-santa-klara/10482025
- Cost (either actual dollar amount, or just $, $$, $$$, etc.): We waited for a sale and got ours for about $250 CAD
- What you like about it: It's not bulky, looks classy enough to be used as a regular living room chair later, and it's really comfortable so even though DS didn't want to be rocked, I was very comfortable while BF.
- What you don't like about it, if anything: I saw a few negative reviews, but we love it and have had no problems!
- Is there a [rocking chair/glider] you don't have but are considering? Why?:
- Additional thoughts on [rocking chair/glider]: I would avoid wooden chairs unless it has a pad. We had been given one for DS and found it very uncomfortable.
ETA: I'm petite and so found this chair perfect for my size.
