Favorite Nursing Chair/Spot (newborn & tandem)

[kateye]

I'm due in Feb w/ #2 and still nursing my 26mo. I always nursed laying down in bed with DS (mostly still do) but I know I won't be able to do that this time. We have comfortable furniture, but for me, nothing that I like to nurse in (part of the reason we always nursed in bed the first time around), so I would love to buy a specific chair for nursing. I probably will mostly be nursing one at a time and when I need to nurse both, can use the couch in a pinch. Thinking about a glider (maybe Dutailier), but not sure...love to hear any suggestions! Or talk me out of it if this seems crazy.

Thank you!

I don't know if you'll find this comfortable, but I like to sit cross-legged on the right side of the couch, right next to the armrest. I only like the right side, never the left. I'm just kind of quirky like that. =)

I love our lazy boy recliner for nursing in.... can be upright or laid back if needed, and was easy to elevate the legs for reducing swelling right after nursing.

Which recliner do you have? And is it one of the ones that glides/rocks as well??

Thanks!

I do like the couch, but not the one we have on the first floor (where we spend most of our time)--I would move the couches, but the one in the basement is a big sectional that doesn't fit in our living room! I think I really only have space for a chair

Hi Kat,
We have to Lazy boy that just rocks... the gliders always make me feel motion sick.

we've got a lazy boy that rocks in dd's bedroom. i sit in it cross legged.
in the livingroom i nurse on the couch, sitting cross legged.
i use the boppy for both situations and i don't know why i sit cross legged. i think i got in the habit from when dd was so small and i was trying to raise her closer to the breast.
i like both the couch and the recliner. we looked at gliders at a store that sold only baby furniture but decided not to spend $800+ and went with an inexpensive ($250ish) rocker/recliner from a standard furniture store. i haven't regretted getting the standard recliner.

Thanks, mamas! Will look in the regular furniture stores (and check out la z boy ) for rocking arm chairs.
