Baby Products Reviews of Medela Nursing Stool
Customer Review: Better (and less expensive) than gliding ottoman
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this when I couldn't find a matching gliding ottoman for my glider. Boy am I glad I did! My friends who've nursed tell me the gliding ottoman is nice when you're just holding the baby and relaxing, but when you're nursing it allows too much movement and can make the process difficult. Likewise, my friends who decided not to buy ANY ottoman say they have lower back problems as a result. I haven't experienced either problem with this stool. It's a nice stable platform--- giving the user complete control of their rocking movement. And the height is perfect--- no matter how tall or short you are (I'm 5'7"-- but I know women who are 5'2" like it as well). Well worth the money.Customer Review: I thought I wouldn't use it
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was pregnant with Baby #1, my mom wanted to buy me a glider/ottoman combo. I said no, I wouldn't need it...She wisely insisted on buying the glider and she threw in this little stool for good measure. How stupid was I? I can't imagine what I'd done without either one. I am on Baby #2 now who is quickly becoming a big boy. I have used this stool daily for the past 3 years. I am glad we didn't get the big ottoman, as it would take up too much space, but this little stool is JUST PERFECT. It makes those late night/early morning feedings just a little more comfortable. Its a purchase you will not regret!Customer Review: Never thought it would make such a difference!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never thought I would need this product. It's a slanted stool, for Pete's sake! But when my baby was in the NICU for six weeks, they had these there (as well as my Brest Friend boppy pillow, which I also highly recommend!) and there is no way my son would have been able to breast feed without it. It seems like a minor thing, but it's not. This stool puts your body into the exact right position for breastfeeding. For what I call "picky breast feeders" this is a lifesaver. Plus I still use it now that he's weaned. When I rock him to a dreamy state before bed and naps, this stool is essential...... A plus!Customer Review: For a bad back and knees - i have 3 of them
Summary: 5 Stars
Tricky back and knees require strategies. I often buy things that don't work out. This one did. I switched from my 2 rockers to gliders and the back pain got worse. I realized the seats were too high, and, just as important, it had a subtly different seating angle. The stool made all the difference. I also have an adjustable, ergonomic desk chair, but guess what, the footstool helped relieve the keyboard hunch. I've got 3 now. But I keep wondering if that pesky floor angle on the passenger side of the car, painful on knees on a long drive, wouldn't be helped with one of these great stools.Customer Review: A wonder for your legs
Summary: 5 Stars
This stool is a miracle worker for tired legs and backs. I love to use it when nursing my son upstairs. The slanted top means your feet are positioned perfectly for holding a baby. It's very sturdy and doesn't slide around on the floor like my daughter's plastic stools do.
I did not get this until baby #2, and I wish I had had it with the first one! Believe me, there is no comparison between rocking/nursing/holding a baby with this stool, or just resting your feet on the floor.
Definitely in my "top ten" list of must-haves for breastfeeding.
