When it comes to feeding and putting baby to sleep, lots of mom do so by rocking their baby. With my oldest daughter, i was given a Glider chair with Ottoman at my baby shower and thought "All right! Perfect for feedings and rocking baby to sleep!" When i sat it was very comfortable, but I found it a little uncomfortable to stay in for a long time.
That's when my mom told me about using a recliner. I didn't want to at first because i already had a Glider, but when i took a look at some Recliners i found it much more suitable. Here's why:
On a Recliner, you can:
Rock baby to sleep
Recline back when baby falls asleep or after feeding while burping baby and it's very comfortable
Overall much more comfortable than the glider.
On a glider, you can:
Rock baby to sleep, but uncomfortable to sleep on because it doesn't recline
*During the night you're so tired by being up about every 3-4 hours to feed baby that you tend to mostly fall asleep when burping baby. Having a recliner allows you to burp baby, rock baby to sleep and you eventually fall asleep on there as well.
When it comes to feedings and rocking baby to sleep, i would go with a Rocking RECLINER.
I wont be having kids anytime soon.. maybe in 5-6 years, but when the time comes this will be useful information. My husband is super grouchy when he doesn't get enough sleep, hopefully this will save us from some trouble and get me a few extra hours of sleep.
