It's World Breastfeeding Week, so how can iL Tutto® help?
Unlike a standard armchair, nursery gliders are designed for you and your needs. They include features that will make your life easier and ensure you’re comfortable through endless hours of feeding, rocking, and watching your baby sleep.
In recognition of World Breastfeeding Week, Amber from @bodybirthandbaby and Julie from iL Tutto® will talk about all things feeding, whether that’s breast or bottle, and how an iL Tutto® chair can help. Watch now.
We talk about three reasons why an iL Tutto® chair will be a game changer for your nursery:
- Core Support
Glider nursery chairs offer a smooth motion that’s gentle on your body, without needing you to engage your core to create the movement. Our iL Tutto® glider chairs feature either electric – like our luxe Frankie Electric Glider Recliner – or spring-loaded recline – this is manual, such as the Paige Recliner Glider Nursery Chair.
TIP: Electric chairs are easier to stand up with your baby, particularly if your baby is sleeping and you don’t want to wake them when kicking back the footrest. Given how much time you’ll spend in your glider chair nursing your baby, having this support plays a big role in your recovery after birth.
- Ergonomic Design for Nursing
Most iL Tutto® Nursery Chairs feature a high backrest and lumbar support for ergonomic comfort while feeding. The armrests are also at the right height for feeding, avoiding the strain that can come with armrests that are too high or non-existent. If you use a regular armchair in your nursery, you might start to notice little niggles in your back or shoulders. That’s because they’re designed for sitting and not for feeding a baby. Glider nursery chairs are.
We recommend that you watch our demo videos for each chair style that you can access on all Glider product pages or our YouTube channel that includes heights of the talent, so you can see what size chair suits you best for the best support while feeding. Ideally, have your feet touching the ground for easy gliding.
Tip: Chairs with bolster cushions help shorter people be pushed forward to touch the floor.
Many of our gliding nursing chairs – like the Henry Electric Recliners – also feature built-in USB ports so you can stay connected with your devices easily in reach. The Frankie Electric Glider Recliners take this a step further with discreet pockets on both sides. They can store everything from dummies to burp cloths to a storybook for your toddler.
- Your Baby Will Love the Movement
All iL Tutto® Nursery Chairs glide, whether electric or manual, and it’s effortless to do this. Of the glider/rocking chair comparison, a glider offers a smoother motion and requires much less manual effort. Rockers only move backwards and forwards, while a glider chair – like the Paige Recliner Glider Chair – can typically move from both back to front and side to side.
Babies love the calming rock of a glider nursery chair. For parents, the motion is equally soothing, especially when the baby falls asleep in your arms.
