How to choose the best children's chairs

In this article we will provide you with some important advice and suggestions on how to choose the best chairs for infancy and in particular for the very delicate phase of breast-feeding.

Breast-feeding is a phase of fundamental importance for the development and growth of the child and for the consolidation of the relationship between mother and child. In this regard, it is important to specify that the choice of a quality nursing chair will be able to improve and make more comfortable this beautiful phase of life.

Breastfeeding phase: fundamental for the baby's development

The World Health Organisation (the world's largest international body dealing with public health issues) recommends breastfeeding until the baby is six months old. As the breastfeeding phase is particularly intense and prolonged, it is advisable to create the conditions for this extremely intense and important experience to be as practical and comfortable as possible. It is very important that during this delicate phase, both the mother and the baby are completely at ease, in an overall condition of comfort, relaxation and well-being.

Generally we can say that the first few times after the birth the mother will be breastfeeding in her own bed, and the baby will be supported by her arms, with the little head resting comfortably inside the mother's elbow.

In some cases, if the mother is particularly tired, breastfeeding can also take place lying down (on her side), with the help of one or more pillows placed behind her back, with the baby held in front of her.

The mother will gently place the baby's mouth at the level of her breast, raising her arm and offering the nipple to the baby.

This preliminary breastfeeding technique, however, will change after a few days. At this stage, the mother will start to breastfeed from a sitting position, so it will be necessary to find a position that is as comfortable as possible, sitting on a breastfeeding chair or even a rocking chair for breastfeeding.

Let us therefore discover together which are the best chairs for children for the delicate phase of breast-feeding.

How to choose a breastfeeding chair

For the delicate phase of breastfeeding, it is important to choose an armchair that can guarantee the mother a raised position for her feet. Alternatively, you can simply decide to add a practical footrest to the breastfeeding chair for maximum comfort.

For the mother, during breastfeeding it is of fundamental importance to support her legs: this will allow her to unload the muscles of her back and shoulders on her legs, so as to relax her abdominals and alleviate any post-natal discomfort or pain from wounds.

A quality breastfeeding chair should also be equipped with comfortable and practical armrests, to further increase the feeling of tranquillity and relaxation during breastfeeding. Lastly, the chair should have a comfortable headrest, as well as a soft, ergonomic seat. The latter, in particular, must not exert excessive pressure on the perianal area, which has already been particularly stressed by the recent birth.

These are the main characteristics and features that a breastfeeding chair should have. Lastly, the advice we would like to give you is not to neglect the aesthetic factor of the furniture. The armchair you are about to purchase may in fact serve you and be used even after the breastfeeding period. For this reason, it is better to choose a nursing chair characterised by a style and design capable of integrating harmoniously with the furnishings in your space.
