A list of all my favorite items I bought/was gifted at Weylyn's baby shower. I was a nanny for 6 years, and used most of these items with them as well! I also have a niece and nephew that have used these. I can't wait to use these items on Weylyn's future siblings!
As a first-time mum, I quickly learned how important the right chair is when it comes to nursing. You spend so many hours feeding and soothing your baby, so finding a chair that’s comfortable and supportive is key. For me, armrests are a must—they give your arms a break during those long feeds. I also love the ability to rock or glide, which helps settle the baby (and me!) when we’re both trying to relax. While reclining is ideal for those late-night sessions, not all chairs have that feature, but a good footstool can do wonders in those cases. Here are my top picks for nursing chairs that tick all the boxes, ensuring both you and your little one are comfortable.
