When a woman decides to breastfeed her infant, she should start as soon as possible in the maternity ward. Back at home, the mother must build a kind of nest in order to be able to breastfeed her baby in peace. To combine comfort and serenity, there is nothing better than a rocking nursing chair.
Preparing your cozy little corner for breastfeeding
Nearly 70% of mothers breastfeed their child from birth and they are still 25% to breastfeed after 3 months. Breastfeeding should take place calmly while finding the ideal position. Breast milk contains proteins that are perfectly suited to the infant’s body. The milk evolves regularly according to the needs of the child, over the months as well as from one feeding to another.
Back in your home, you will study the different possibilities available to you so that you can experience this magical moment as peacefully as possible with your newborn. Thus, if you are lucky enough to have large spacious rooms, you can set up various cozy breastfeeding spaces to share this moment of bliss with your little one.
Find the right position for breastfeeding
It is not always easy to find the ideal position to breastfeed your baby. In the maternity ward, you mainly have the choice between your bed and an armchair that is not the most comfortable. The important thing is that the mother is comfortable in a nursing chair, sofa or bed. She should not feel any tension in her legs, arms or back. Comfort is the ultimate condition for being comfortable and relaxed, for the milk to flow abundantly.
There are multiple breastfeeding positions called Madonna (or Cradle), Reverse Madonna or Biological Nurturing (BN) where you are semi-lying down. This position is recommended if you have back pain. The lying position in bed is very convenient for breastfeeding at night. Only then arises the problem of the spouse who may be disturbed in his sleep. Only one solution, you prepare a little corner just for you and your newborn, outside the bedroom, to spend a calm and relaxed moment.
A comfortable and ecological rocking nursing chair
Whichever position you choose, you need to make sure your newborn is facing you, tummy against you, and well supported. It is preferable that the baby’s ear, shoulder and hip are in the same straight line. The rocking chair from the Rondins range offers authentic charm and comfort that will surprise you.
