I was just wondering if many new mothers use their rocking chairs much? My mom told be she never did. But I am getting this nice Glider and ottoman. I think I will use it often.Do you have a glider or rocker?How often do you use your rocking chair? Do you love it or is it just there?
I bought a glider and was given a rocker and never used either with either of my kids. I was always walking with the baby or swaying with the baby. But I suppose everyone's different.
We have a recliner in our daughters room... This is our first so I can't speak from experience. We prefer a recliner rather than a rocker or a glider. The recliner is SO comfortable I can't wait to use it. I plan on using it to read to her and feed her in it as well as rock her to sleep. But I guess we will see how well that works out.
I have a tan and black glider that is so, so nice. I use it pretty often whether I am just sitting around in the baby's room, doing a feeding session, or rocking him back to sleep. I absolutely love my glider. It actually helps me calm down to if I am stressing a bit. =)
I had a little red wooden rocking chair with a cane bottom when I was little (wish I had it now!). And we also had a full-size rocking chair in the living room when I was growing up. After I married, I had a rocking chair to rock my babies in (priceless). Now I have a Lazy Boy rocker/recliner that I don't know how I'd get by without. It is so comfortable to lounge in while watching t.v. Nothing like it for putting my feet up and reclining back a little bit. But I sometimes just sit and rock a little instead when I read or work my Sudoku puzzles. I also have a natural finish wood rocking chair on my front porch that my son gave to me for Mother's Day a few years ago. It was very well built by the Amish. Rocking chairs are a great invention, I think....And God bless you too!
I used the antique Lincoln Rocker constantly. It was in the baby's bedroom at first, and then moved to the living room. Both babies lay in my arms while I sang and read to them in the rocking chair. There are little dents all over the arms where Baby #2 practiced with his Junior Carpenter set when he was 4 years old. I cherish those dents more than any perfect carved antique. When the house burned down when the babies were 18 and 19 years old, the rocker was one of the few pieces of furniture that survived. Now I keep it by my little propane stove and I read and rock the cats in it.
