The house is silent, the baby is hungry again, and you're perched on the edge of the mattress with a pillow wedged behind your back and nowhere to rest your head. By the second feed your shoulders ache and your arms are shaking. What you want is simple: one comfy, steady place to sit, ready every time you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA corner for the feeds, then for the stories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rocking nursing chair gives you a separate headrest cushion to lean into, padded arms that take the weight of your elbows, and a gentle rock to fill the long wake-ups. Choose it with the matching footstool and your feet go up instead of dangling. When the night feeds stop, it becomes the bedtime-story chair, then a reading chair in your bedroom. One chair, from the first feed to the last chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy parents choose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomewhere to rest your head at 2am:\u003c\/strong\u003e a height-adjustable headrest cushion sits on a 59 cm padded back, so you can set it where your head actually drops, not just the small of your back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArms that share the holding:\u003c\/strong\u003e wide padded arms give your elbow somewhere to settle while your baby feeds, and the side pocket keeps a muslin, a phone or the remote within reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeet up, if you want them:\u003c\/strong\u003e the footstool variant adds a matching padded stool, 48 × 31 cm and 39 cm high, so your knees relax during the long feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA seat that doesn't feel thin:\u003c\/strong\u003e a thickened cushion on a seat 45 cm wide and 51 cm deep, with 51 cm between the arms, so you can shift position with a baby on your arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm to sit in, light in the room:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft teddy fabric in a warm beige, on a black metal frame and wooden rockers, sits quietly next to a white or oak cot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for first-time parents setting up the nursery in the third trimester, parents in the thick of night feeds who are tired of making do with the bed or the sofa, and grandparents looking for a gift that gets used every day.
