help me, oh internets. Is there a chair for a geekly new mom?

[netmouse]

That's it. I want a desk chair. I want a desk chair that also works as a nursing chair.

That means it has low arms, possible padded and/or wide, but long - extending all the way to the back of the chair.

It should not be too narrow a chair. It should swivel, and raise and lower.

Do you suppose something like that exists, oh internets?

We have a nice roomy desk chair that we use as a feeding/comforting chair (now that he's 2 it's more about snuggling him until he's willing to go back to sleep!) - it has padded arms and it doesn't roll, which makes it also useful as a living room chair for the bad-kneed grandparents when they visit (easy to get up out of, unlike the so-called easy chairs). We bottle-fed so the positioning may be a little different but I imagine it would work fine for everything but the tucked-under-the-arm position. I can't find it on ye internet, unfortunately, but there are a lot of chairs similar--if you go to office max or one of those stores with the baby in tow, you should be able to test a bunch of the "executive desk chairs" (which is what they call the upholstered, long-armed kind) out.

I would strongly STRONGLY advise getting a leather one, because leather cleans right up after the kiddo throws up on it, unlike regular fabric.

Yes, i also highly recommend leather! My car does NOT smell after Matt christened it (i.e. threw up in it) last spring because it's leather. All I did was clean it with white vinegar & water and I scrubbed the car mats with soap.

Yep. Leather is good for vehicle seats, too.
