Is having a rocker that reclines a must have, or is the recliner just a feature I probably won’t use?

Question

Answer

I wouldn’t consider it a must have. I breastfed exclusively and hardly used my rocker apart from the first month or so. It was nice but it kind of just went to waste

Answer

We got a rocking recliner for the living room. If its just the nursery a rocker is fine, foot rest would be nice

Answer

I have 4 kids and don't have a rocker that reclines.

Answer

No but its nice to have on the nights you cant get your kid to sleep

Answer

No need for a recliner, unless it helps your breastfeed. Some moms find that laid back nursing works well for them and it might be comfortable to recline. I just sat on the couch with an ottoman to put my feed up if I wanted. You don't want to get too comfortable that you fall asleep with baby on you in a recliner.

Answer

I have a rocker with a foot rest that rocks too, it was a lifesaver with my first baby with nighttime breastfeeding. Reclining doesn’t seem like a big factor to me, but the rocking was. Helps put baby back to sleep

Answer

I was going to buy one but then I realized our son will sleep in our bedroom for the first 6-12 months and then we’d transition him to the nursery. If once he’s moved to his own room I feel the need for a rocker I’ll get one but I’m going to guess I won’t need it since he won’t be nursing that often anyways in the middle of the night and during the day we’ll probably be elsewhere in the house.

Answer

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and have never had a rocker that reclines.  I don't feel like I was missing anything.  I like the swivel kind of rocker a opposed to a regular rocker though.
