White Wooden Gliding Nursing Chair With Stool And Two Covers 1 - 25 of 89 ads for "feeding chair glider" within Baby & Children What are the pros of a breastfeeding chair? What are the cons? What are the alternatives? A breastfeeding chair is designed to provide a comfortable place to feed your baby. Most recline into different positions to support your back, and some have a rocking feature to help soothe your baby. However, they can be expensive, and not all mums find them comfortable. Could a breastfeeding chair make life easier? Or will it just sit unused in your baby's nursery? Read what worked for BabyCentre mums. "I really love my nursing chair. It’s fantastic not just for breastfeeding but for feeding in general and comforting a baby. I didn't get it until my son was two months old. My only regret is not having it sooner. He associates it with his quiet, cuddly time and it calms and settles him as part of his bedtime routine. I would definitely recommend one."
"I think it’s the comfiest chair in the world! I slept in it at end of my pregnancy as I couldn't get comfortable in bed and it really helps with backache too. I used it for all feeds at first because I had a caesarean and couldn't get comfortable on our sofa. I use it for bedtime and night feeds only. I think my baby knows the chair means bedtime." "We used my Gran's old rocking chair. However, in retrospect I would have bought a proper nursing chair. The rocker was difficult to get out of with a sleeping baby. If you have the room in your baby’s nursery, I would definitely get one. It was much easier to settle my little one in his room at night than on the sofa in a busy house.” "I didn’t have one for my first, but was given one for my second. I’ve never fed in it as the arms are too high and I can’t get my daughter into a comfortable feeding position. Instead I do most of my feeding in our recliner downstairs or lying down in bed during the night." "I didn't feel the need for one for either of mine.
Night feeds were done in bed and day feeds wherever I was at the time. However, I did buy a nursing pillow second time round and wish I had had one all along." "I used one for night feeds with my bottle fed baby. It’s important to be comfortable whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Now that my second baby shares a bedroom with her sister, I don’t want to disturb my sleeping tot. So, I feed my baby in bed and feel a lot less sleep deprived that way." "Breastfeeding chairs are completely unnecessary in my opinion and just another expense you can do without. Yes, comfort and position are really important, especially at first. But we managed by experimenting with different cushions and pillows that we already owned." "A chair in the nursery is invaluable. It doesn't have to be a proper breastfeeding chair. We bought a second-hand one from an auction site." "I’d recommend getting a chair, but it doesn't have to be one marketed specifically for breastfeeding. I used a comfortable reclining chair.
It was a lot cheaper than the breastfeeding chairs I saw but it was perfect for feeding my baby in peace. I found the recline function very useful for comfort, but even that isn't a necessity. Any comfortable chair will do, just add a cushion!" "When I was pregnant I spent ages researching whether to get a breastfeeding chair or not. In the end we got an armchair. It's much prettier than a breastfeeding chair and doesn't take up half as much room. We use it for story time now and I'm glad we didn't spend the extra money." "I already had a rocking chair and just put that in the baby's nursery. It was a nightmare to sit in at first as I tore badly and couldn't get out of it. However, since my little one started sleeping in the nursery I’ve used it every night. It gently bounces and when I don't need it any more I plan to put it back in our living room." "We have a nice low and wide armchair which I sit cross-legged in with a feeding cushion on my lap. I used to sit up in bed or feed lying down but I always woke my other half up when I sat up to put the cushions into position.
I do think it's important to be able to adapt to feeding in different types of chair. Otherwise you get stuck when out and about."

Babies are not babies for long, so a lot of nursery equipment doesn’t actually get used that much, so picking up items that are hardly used and in good condition is easier than you might think. Here’s what to look out for when buying pre-loved baby monitors, swing chairs, rockers, nightlights and safety gates.
Does this secondhand nursery equipment guide not have what you’re after? Try our guides to: It’s not always easy to know if an item has been recalled because of safety concerns. For newer products, it’s reasonably simple to do an online search to check they’re still on sale. The Trading Standards website also has safety warnings.Other sites that can help are Recalled Products and UKRecallNotice. If it’s a big name brand, also try their website. Anyone who sells secondhand electrical equipment is obliged to ensure the item is safe for sale, and the current laws advise getting the items checked by a qualified electrician. If you are buying pre-loved electrical items, ask the following: Also read the Electrical Safety Council’s Safe Shoppers Guide. Electrical items should by law come supplied with these. It’s very useful to have these, but if they’re missing, head to the manufacturer’s website. Unless the item you’re after is very old, you can usually download a copy of the instructions there.
Decide whether you want a digital or analogue monitor. Older monitors will probably be analogue, which tends to produce a less clear sound and more ‘hiss’. Digital monitors are more expensive but have a greater quality of sound, and you may get a good deal buying secondhand. Our buyer's guide to baby monitors has more on the pros and cons of analogue and digital monitors. If the monitor has been modified or repaired don’t buy it. You can’t be sure that it’s safe or working properly. You also should look it over for wear and tear, keeping an eye out for loose wires and plastic parts that may come off easily. Check there are no missing parts, and measure the cord length. To comply with safety standards and reduce the risk of accidents, the cord should be no more than 20cm long. Swing chairs are either mains or battery-operated, so keep in mind the considerations mentioned above about buying secondhand electrical equipment. Swing chairs swing (clue’s in the name!), so check wear and tear on hinges and moving parts.
The stand needs to be sturdy, no signs of wear, and no cracked or splitting connectors. Any upholstery must adhere to safety regulations – primarily, it has to be fire resistant. It must have a permanent label stating “Carelessness Causes Fire”. Nursery furniture must adhere to safety regulations to ensure any upholstery is fire resistant.Look for labels that say “All filling materials meet the 1988 safety regulations” or “Filling materials and covering fabrics meet the requirements for resistance of cigarette and match ignition in the 1988 safety regulations”. A nightlight is a piece of electrical equipment, so make sure you follow the advice above. By law, if it’s mains operated, the nightlight should have been checked by a qualified person to ensure it’s safe.You need to check the cord for any wear and tear. Also measure the length of the cord – baby monitors standards state it should be no longer than 20cm to avoid choking hazards.Check that there are no loose or small parts that could fall off or be pulled off.
