Baby Products Reviews of Medela Nursing Stool
Customer Review: Relieves back discomfort and makes nursing more comfortable!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided against a glider/rocker for nursing and went with a stationary chair. I went about a week of nursing with my feet flat on the ground when I realized my back being achey from the position. This stool was recommended to me at the hospital's breastfeeding class and I used it at the hospital while nursing but thought it was just an extra thing to have. Boy was I wrong. The nursing stool angles your lap up drawing baby closer to you, which allows you to have your back straighter instead of hunching towards the baby. If you find yourself stuffing an extra pillow/blanket under your nursing pillow to fill in the gap between the pillow and your lap this stool will solve that problem, and won't fall out of your lap onto the floor! The stool was easy to assemble and nice solid wood. I have been using mine for two months with no problems. The hospital had this exact nursing stool too and you could tell it was really worn in and old, but still held up perfectly. The nice thing is when you are done nursing the stool is still practical to use as a foot rest for chairs around the house- including a nice under the desk foot rest while you are on the computer.Customer Review: For me it was a must-have
Summary: 5 Stars
Before my daughter was born, I knew I was determined to breastfeed her. I read several books and asked a lot of moms what their breastfeeding must-haves were. Several people mentioned this nursing stool. I was doubtful about how helpful a little stool could actually be, but I also wanted every resource possible available to help my breastfeeding relationship go smoothly, so I went ahead and bought it. In the weeks prior to my daughter's birth, my husband assembled the stool and I would use it to prop up my aching feet after a long day at work. After my baby was born, I set up a little nursing station in my living room, and I found the stool to be an essential item. Basically it lifted my knees to just the right angle to help prop the baby in the correct position. I also used a nursing pillow, and between the pillow and the stool, the whole experience was actually very comfortable. I was able to nurse for long periods of time without feeling any pain or stress from holding the baby in the right position. I am definitely holding on to this item for use with future babies, and I would recommend it to any new mom who plans to nurse her baby.Customer Review: Medela is the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I nursed our son for about 7 weeks without this, like many mothers, slouching and what not was killing my already injured back, a friend of mine had one and i tried it...loved it! Ordered one for myself and cant do without. Even ordered an addiotional one for my grandparents house that we are going to in the next week in another state! Highly recommend and I will definantly be using this for our other babies to come!
Thanks Medela for once again, making an outstanding product...
also...
If anyone is having problems with there child- reguardless of age-- lactching on or nipple soreness or whatever......I recommend the medela nipple shield, I used it for latch on problems and immediately my son nurses just fine, its for temporary use but I have been using it non stop sense my son was born..keeps me from being sore! You can buy it at Target or anywhere Medela products are sold.
I own the pump in style advanced... get this one, its worth every penny!
Customer Review: Necessity!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this stool if you breast feed (and have it before you get home from the hospital!). I borrowed a glider that did not come with a stool and my back was killing me when breast feeding. You can easily take the stool with you from room to room and use with any chair. Now all you need is a Boppy and you're all set to feed!
*****December 1st 2007, It's now over two years later and we still use the stool but now it's under our computer desk. it relieves back pain when sitting for long periods of time. I am now expecting my 2nd child and will move it back to the rocking chair when the time comes. Even if you don't nurse it's still prefect for sitting with the baby and rocking it to sleep or bottle feeding it. The stool is also washable. It got very dirty while under the computer desk from our shoes and dirty feet so I put it in the shower and with a sponge rubbed off the dirt. I love this product!
Customer Review: I would have quit without it
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this stool 6 weeks into breastfeeding my son. I was having all sorts of trouble feeding him and lots of back pain. I was on the verge of giving up! I went to see a lactation consultant, and she had this stool in her office. Sitting in front of her with my feet up on the stool, I was able to feed him without trouble (she hardly had to "consult"). Once I had this stool at home, things started falling in place.Additionally, this stool has proven useful just as a stool, so your investment will last far longer than during nursing. My mom likes to put her feet up on it when she's simply holding my son.
I also want to remark that Medela stands by their product. We discovered that one of the legs on the stool cracked (we think when someone tripped on it during a late-night feeding). I called Medela, and they replaced it immediately.
