When you are shopping for nursery bedding and decor, you will see many photos of beautiful nurseries showing off a particular baby bedding set and the matching accessories. One thing that you don’t see much of in these photos is the rocking chair or glider for mom or dad to use when feeding or rocking baby to sleep. This is an important part of the nursery that sometimes can be overlooked in the initial planning stages. When we set up our nursery, we received an beautiful glider with ottoman from my parents and we really found that it was an absolute necessity. It was so comfy that there were quite a few nights that my wife or I fell asleep in the chair itself. Our friends opted to go with the traditional rocking chair and they actually purchased some material that matched the crib bedding to make a matching cushion for the chair.
Make sure that when you place the chair in the nursery that it is not too close to any of the walls. We learned the hard way and now we have a nice little dent in one of the walls caused by rocking the chair to close to the wall. Also, remember to be very careful when rocking in the chair if you have small pets that may be crawling around the nursery. A loud screech from the family cat while the baby is sleeping is not good.
