I was trying not to spend any money on another chair, so I got what I paid for, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-28333 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:02:11 +0000 Rosie Girl 28333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lazyboy sounds so nice! I love ours! I do love my glider too though. But I would go with whatever you are comfortable in, baby won't know the difference :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-28332 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:59:53 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 28332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated the look of most gliders, so I just got an Ikea Poang for the nursery. Honestly, it's not super great for nursing, though I expect I will be able to read LO books in it when he can sit still. For nursing, I go sit on the guestroom bed where I have more room. It's especially good now that he can squirm off me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18861 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:06:16 +0000 lemondrop 18861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really into the glider idea, we have the big comfy Lazy-Boy that rocks instead and a futon in the nursery too. My MIL is convinced that we should get rid of the futon and replace with a glider, but I'm going to try out what we have first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18716 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:12:11 +0000 s1lly 18716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a rocker recliner at big lots, both hubby and I use it and we looove it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18682 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 00:38:25 +0000 BSB 18682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to have a twin size bed or a futon in my nursery, so I don't think I'll need a lazy boy. I would like to get a glider, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18661 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:15:28 +0000 Killer b 18661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reupholstered my husband's grandmother's upholstered rocker. Honestly? I nursed her about 10% of the time in it. It was just an awkward position to be in, since it leaned back. I more often nursed in bed at night, and on the couch with a boppy during the day. I'm glad we didn't buy a new one, or spend lots of money on something we didn't end up using much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18598 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:25:04 +0000 MsMini 18598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to be a modern rocking chair that we have wanted for a while, now we finally have an excuse to buy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18596 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:21:41 +0000 autumnlove 18596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH bought me a beige Dutailer glider &amp; ottoman from Target.

It is so comfy, rocks, reclines, I can put my feet up if I want. I do want to find a little ottoman or footstool though so I can put my feet up while rocking. Hopefully I can find something at goodwill and just refinish it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18092 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:00:38 +0000 PennyLainne 18092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been considering a glider for the nursery. I don't think our lazy boy chair would fit in the room. My SIL had a glider and she loved it for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18091 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:53:02 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had never considered a lazyboy type chair...hmmmmmm, very interesting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18082 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:43:31 +0000 lavender 18082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan on buying a rocker or glider. We do have an Ikea poang chair and ottoman that will match the decor, and plan on using that for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18021 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:08:28 +0000 MH.Abroad 18021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm inheriting the wood rocker my mom had built when my sister and I were babies. It's lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-18011 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:57:43 +0000 BabyLove 18011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't buy a chair, I was always most comfy on our couch. It's a great couch to just curl up on, the back is all fluffy pillows so I also use them to lean on when nursing. I never really felt the need for a rocker or glider but I know lots of people love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16881 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:06:30 +0000 anewme 16881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got a glider, really did want one though but decided against it because I couldn't be convinced that I would get that much use out of it. And of course, space would have been an issue. I guess I'll never know what I could have been missing out on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16850 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:48:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 16850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a lazyboy sounds awesome. my dad has one and it's soooo comfy. a reclining feature could definitely come in handy!</p> <p>we had a glider and got so much use out of it (and still do), that it was definitely a worthwhile purchase. instead of an expensive ottoman (which we did buy), i would just buy a nursing stool. it really helps you get in a more comfortable position to nurse when you're sitting in a chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16833 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:29:45 +0000 yin 16833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an old fashioned rocking chair, and I can't live without it! A recliner does sound like a nice option for a nursery. You will spend so much time in there, and it is best to have a comfy place to rest with your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16832 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:27:31 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 16832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our glider. Though I have to admit, we didn't use it as often as we liked, but it looks like a regular piece of furniture so we can repurpose it as adult furniture in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16824 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:19:14 +0000 prettylizy 16824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a handmade wooden rocking chair, it was a wedding gift from DH's Grandma and I LOVE it. Still waiting for our LO, but I sit in it all the time to watch TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16793 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:55:27 +0000 pelikila 16793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Little Castle glider that was also a recliner. It is awesome and so comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16791 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:53:49 +0000 heffalump 16791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my glider! It was more than I wanted to spend, but the only piece of furniture we had to buy for the nursery, and very worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16789 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:52:35 +0000 L2sweetpea 16789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my glider. I found my daughter loves the subtle movement when trying to go to sleep. I got a really cheap one from K-mart because I couldn't fathom spending hundreds of dollars on one from another store. It's comfortable, and LO loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16788 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:49:51 +0000 Mrsbells 16788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to buy a glider! I had to baby sit my nephew when he was 5 months old and the glider was great for putting him to sleep. He loved being fed in the glider too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16787 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:48:49 +0000 Andrea 16787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just using the LaZBoy is a great idea. There were so many times in the early days where my LO slept on me that I wish we had just bought a LaZBoy instead of glider + foot stool. I figured I would have been able to sleep better while she slept if I had a LaZBoy since that reclines and my glider does not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16786 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:48:48 +0000 Mrs. D 16786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a rocking chair! But not the old fashioned one, today's gliders with cushions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rockers-and-gliders-and-chairs-oh-my#post-16785 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:45:35 +0000 mediagirl 16785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you decide to use when you needed somewhere to sit to comfort your baby? Did you use a glider or a rocker or just a big comfy chair or something else?</p> <p>To be honest, I hate gliders. I was thinking we could just re-purpose the la-z-boy comfy chair/rocker that is in my husband's office until the baby is a little older. </p>
