breast feeding chair was rubbish

[hairband]

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem - I bought one for a hundred pounds or so and it saw me through the first few weeks when DS was tiny - but as he got bigger I was sitting so low on the chair that the arms got in the way (as I am fairly small and the arms were fairly high).
Now made it to nearly 6months and wish I had bought something different - though I guess it did help in the initial few weeks esp with night feeds.

I guess as you progress with BF it gets easier so a chair would have become redundant anyway - did anyone else find this?

Yep, I only used mine a couple of times, found it uncomfortable right from the start! The arms got in the way and was quite a tight squeeze on my arse

Found the sofa far more comfortable.

I ebayed it successfully though and the person who bought it seemed quite happy with it.

yeah i hardly used mine either/

what you need is a nice spoonback nursing chair, with no arms. lovely

I thought the same with DS, used the sofa instead, but DD is a fussier baby and the rocking chair has been a godsend to help get her to sleep when she's crying in the early evening!

What gets my goat is that all of these chairs seem to come with fixed covers so mine is never really clean, it always has spit-up on it.

A friend spent loads on one of these and I never understood why - you can't BF easily in anything with arms!

The best chair I ever sat in for BF was a Lloyd Loom nursing chair that had been my grandmother's when she had her children in the 1950s. Low to the floor, curved back, and no arms.

Like this one

I can't imagine no arms on a feeding chair. What do you rest your arms on? I used to have a cushion stuffed under my arm to support dd's head (on the sofa). You must have arms of steel!

the armless ones are quite low, so your knees will come up iyswim? and you can rest on knees.
