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.

Long car rides don't have to be boring!! My little loves to keep busy.

Baby needs are so many and the options there are just so overwhelming and the opinions moms have vary drastically that you might be confused by who to listen to, so my list here is for the mom who is practical, plans to have more than one kid and thus, values good quality products over high-end brand names or/and cheap products to just make it through a single baby or a single occasion. I didn’t buy so many things the world recommends or suggests you MUST get that for me just ended up being an unnecessary gadget that takes space. At the end of this, all I want to say is that if you feel overwhelmed, it’s really very normal and it IS overwhelming but believe it or not, in no time you’ll figure it out and your mom brain while might become a bit forgetful in so many things, it does feel like a new compartment in both your brain and heart open up to help pay attention to all the details and take them in. You got it, mama!!

Here I'm recommending and reminiscing popular toys today and popular toys from back in the day.
