✨ My TTC Journey for Baby #2 ✨ Our journey to baby number two has been a mix of hope, patience, and quiet strength. Unlike the first time—when everything felt new and full of surprise—this chapter has come with its own lessons and emotions. I’ve carried the joy of wanting to grow our family, along with the uncertainty that comes when things don’t always happen right away. There have been months of tracking, planning, and wishing… moments of excitement, moments of disappointment, and moments of reminding myself to breathe and trust the timing. I’ve learned to celebrate small steps, to listen to my body, and to give myself grace through the ups and downs. Even on the harder months, the dream of holding another little one keeps my heart steady. This journey has taught me resilience, patience, and deep gratitude for the family I already have—and the one I’m hoping to grow. Baby #2, whenever you're ready, we can’t wait to meet you. ❤️

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.
