It's World Breastfeeding Week, so how can iL Tutto help?
Unlike your standard armchair, the iL Tutto range of nursery gliders are designed for you and your bodies needs postpartum.
Our range of premium nursery gliders include features that will make your life easier and ensure you’re comfortable through endless hours of feeding, rocking and watching your baby sleep.
In recognition of World Breastfeeding week, Amber from @bodybirthandbaby & Julie from iL Tutto talk about all things feeding, whether that’s breast or bottle, and how an iL Tutto nursery chair can help your feeding journey.
First we have core support
iL Tutto Glider Nursery Chairs offer the feeding parent a gentle smooth motion that’s both calming and soothing for your body, without engaging your core like a traditional rocking chair. Our always growing and wide range of premium glider nursery chairs provide you with the option of an electric recline – (such as our luxe Frankie Electric Glider Recliners) – or a manual spring loaded recline – (such as our range of Paige Recliner Glider Nursery Chairs).
iL Tutto Tip: Our Electric Reclining Nursery Chairs lift your body upright when exiting the recline function while also closing the footrest gently with just the press of a button. We designed this with the purpose of giving a solution to the traditional kick back footrest which at times can require movement from the parent who may have just got their little one to sleep (because who wants to wake a sleeping bub?).
Given how much time you’ll spend in your glider chair nursing your baby, having extra support like this can play a big role in your recovery post birth.
It’s ergonomically designed for nursing
iL Tutto’s Nursery Chair range feature chairs with a higher backrest and lumbar support for an ergonomic design and comfort while feeding. We design the armrests on each nursery chair to be at the correct height for feeding, to avoid the strain that can come with incorrect armrests being too high or non-existent. If you are using a traditional arm chair in your nursery, you might start to notice little niggles in your back or shoulders. This can be because of the lack of support from a chair not designed for the hours a feeding parent will be using it.
iL Tutto has created a video library to assist parents trying to find the right nursery chair, it’s important to understand what iL Tutto nursery chair style supports your height and body best.
iL Tutto Tip: Nursery Chairs that come with a bolster cushions assist those whose legs need some assistance to touch the floor.
Many of iL Tutto’s Electric Gliding Nursery Chairs – such as our growing range of Henry Electric Recliners – also feature a built-in USB port to allow you to stay connected and entertained during those long nights of feeding and soothing your little one. The Frankie Electric Glider Recliners takes this a step further with discreet & stylish side pockets wrapped in the beautiful, cosy and soft teddy fleece fabric. Frankie’s side pockets allow for you to have everything you need and want when feeding within arm's reach.
Your baby will love the movement
All iL Tutto’s Nursery Chairs, whether electric or manual, offer a gentle and soothing glider motion that has been designed with the sole purpose to offer a place that both you, your body and your baby will be able to rest and relax.
Besides rest, a glide function offers a smoother motion than a traditional rock which requires a lot more abdominal effort which is not ideal for a healing body postpartum.
A traditional Rocking Chair also only move backwards and forwards, while a glider chair – like the Paige Recliner Glider Chair – can typically move from both back to front and side to side.
