2nd (or 3rd or 4th) time moms, I have a question...

Is it really necessary to own a glider?  Would a regular comfy chair or even a rocking chair do the trick?  My ILs are going to buy us whatever chair we want, but I refuse to ask them to buy us something over like $200, and gliders are ridiculous...

any advice would be awesome.

thanks.

    We are getting a la-z-boy.  That's what I had with DD, and what I prefer.

    We lived in a tiny one bedroom apt with our first and didn't have room for any type of glider or rocker. I either bf'd in bed or on the sofa. It was totally fine. A regular comfy chair is fine! :)

    The biggest thing is that you are comfortable sitting in it for a long time. I spent a lot of time in my glider with DD#1 and even though we have a normal rocker I still used the glider because it was just more comfortable. Get somthing that feels comfortable.

    I'm not a 2nd+ timer, but if your cutoff is $200 and you want a glider, we got this one:

    It's free shipping too, so it would be just under $200.

    that seems like a sweet deal.

    thanks everyone!

    my husband works in a furniture store and gliders are always returned and exchanged for lazboys or rocking chairs. Which is why we bought a lazeboy. Its a small one and takes up hardly any room and I am so glad we went that route because I spent many nights reclined back in that thing when DD was little.  So I recommend a recliner. But whatever you feel like you are comfortable sitting in with your arms in an up position is good.

     Wow! That is the exact set that we have!

    ditto the lazyboy. they are so much more comfortable than the wooden gliders and can be used in another room once you don't need it in the nursery anymore. i just couldn't bring myself to buy one of the gliders at a baby store because they scream nursery furniture to me and i couldn't justify buying furniture to only use for a couple years.

    by the way, the lazyboy we found is a glider/recliner that is so much more comfortable than even the $800 Dutailiers at baby stores and didn't cost nearly as much, plus we'll actually be able to use it for a lot longer.

    We have a glider and love it but I think a rocker or recliner would be nice as well.

    If I hadn't scored a super comfy glider from my neighbors for $25, I would've gone the rocking recliner route so that I could eventually move it elsewhere.  Otherwise just haunt CL.

    I'd say any chair thats comfy would work, but I'd also add that one that reclines would be badasas.  we had a glilder for our first and it didn't recline and I can't tell you how many times that DS would only sleep on me after a feeding which meant that I then had to try to sleep upright, I did it a few times but it was hard and it sucked.  so this time we got a much better chair.  so a glider is good, but get a reclining glider or a chair that you think you can fall asleep in if need be!
