Nursing chair - to buy or not to buy?

Question

My baby is 4 weeks old now and I’ve been breastfeeding her in bed at night but even with cushions behind me I don’t feel like I’m supported very well and my back is starting to take a hit for it now. 
I’m then also struggling to keep baby in a comfortable position for her to feed so our night feeds are starting to take longer because I’m switching between cradle hold and rugby hold when my back starts to hurt. 
I’ve spotted a second hand nursing chair but just wanted some feedback from ladies on here - if you have one, do you use it, do you find it more comfortable?

Answer

Omg!!! Google "Natural breastfeeding video " and watch the YouTube videos by Nancy Mohrbacher. Laid back nursing position was life changing for me!!! All her tips are so helpful!!!! Best of luck.

Answer

I got a cheap bed rest pillow to support my back when I feed in our bed. A nursing chair tho is also a good solution. I had one with my daughter and loved it

Answer

I use a rocking chair and my boppy

Answer

We used our every night w our first since he was 8 weeks old (until 2.5 yrs old). I would nurse him in it, read bedtime stories, rock him to sleep, heId him upright on nights he was sick, etc. It’ll be well loved again once we transition number two out of our room and into his own.

Answer

Yep - using for all night feeds and sometimes day/pumping too.

Answer

I don’t even use my nursing chair I just lay back at a 75 degree angle and she feeds fine
