The PERFECT baby nursing chair!

I had always blogged about being an auntie and helpful tips to get other kids through, but now it was my turn. I discovered what I need to get by. My baby boy is almost two and there were some essential that really made long tireless night, exhausted mornings and car rides work for this new mom in learning.

I became Goldie locks.

Before my little showed up I spent an enormous amount of time researching everything.  New mom alert. My friend and I went to about a million stores sitting on all sort of nursing chairs, bless her heart for enduring this event.  I decided I needed the perfect chair because I knew I would be up for hours nursing and caring for the new addition on the way.  This meant a good chair was essential.  My husband agreed this was a place we should spend a little more money.

My requirements for perfect comfort

  • Comfort
  • Rocking motion
  • No ottoman (takes up to much space)
  • Recliner
  • Looks nice and not to clunky
  • And was within a reasonable price range
  • Would last longer than a few years

Ta da. I found it!!!!

After all my sitting on chairs I decided to take a risk on this online chair. Best.choice I have ever made for this major change in my life.

It was simple for my husband to put together, literally 15 mins. Two parts that slid together. He said it was well made, which has proved true.  Most important, I love the comfort and support.  To this day it is my favorite chair in the house.  I want another one.  Shhhh, don’t tell my husband. Nah! He already knows. Lol

Issue

Yes, there is an issue that is mentioned in the reviews.  Indeed pushing the foot rest down was hard at first and did make a noise but never once did it wake my little up.  He’s a light sleeper, the sound of wind woke him up.  This chair got a lot of use especially in the beginning and the issue resolved its self within a month

Suggestion

Get the chair a month before and use it in the living room as often as possible. This will loosen the foot rest.

It is more than the gliders but lasts longer and is a better investment.  My son and I read on the chair in the mornings and enjoy our snuggle time cozying up within the chair at night.

I can not say enough about this chair.

It was something that we decided to invest in rather than put out on the baby shower list, that too was a great choice.

What I was going to get to save money:

This is the gift I give every mom to be…

Hello!

 

I love this gift and I give it to every mom to be, for years now!  It is a sound assist sleep sheep. (Say that three times fast!) That helps babies fall asleep or become calmer.  Now what parent would not want this? Seriously! It is the gift that keeps on giving.  Moms always tell me, years later, how they still use it to get their child to calm and sleep.  It’s soft and snuggly with sweet sounds.  My little niece calls her “Shweepy” I guess she is already good at mixing names together (sleepy and sheep equals “shweepy”)  So cute!  Because I am not a mom, I just found out it has other features like a timer that apparently is priceless for keeping the babe asleep.  If you are curious about what parents have to say about it, click here for reviews.  Hope this helped someone with getting the perfect baby gift.

With all my best,

May

“Ewwww Cooties”

No cooties for your Kids water bottles!

I have not written in some time.  I am so happy to see how much speed BPA free products have taken over the market especially with kids water bottles.  One thing I noticed though is that everyone has the same “kids water bottles”,  Some are different colors but very interchangeable.

 

I am currently taking care of a little boy named Bobby who indeed has what ever other kid has the Grip n’ Grab, his is green.  Recently I was washing “his” water bottle only to discover the nozzle was gnawed on and the initials on the bottom were not on the bottom anymore.  Simple, this was not Bobby’s water bottle but some strangers.  Maybe that is why he is getting sick.

So instead of dwelling on this too much I hastly went for a solution, the stickers to the left are a great way to make that bottle a very personal touch.  I created arts and crafts day and we decorated his bottles along with his sister.  They both got to pick the sticker and put it anywhere they wanted.  Now they will not let each other use the others bottle.  It was fun coloring in the animals and playing with them while creating a bottle that will hopefully stay more cootie free.

 

Solution created.  These stickers are machine washable and very fun but most of all it gives me a sense of security that he is using his own bottle and not sharing germs with other kids.  When he gets sick the work just piles up so if there is anything I can do to reduce sickness I will.  You mothers out there know exactly what I am talking about.  May your journey be as fun as mine.
