A baby pillow chair to free your hands

Content from: parent.guide

A new baby brings a lot of adjustments to your lifestyle. The one I struggled with the most was needing to take my baby from one room to the next, setting up a comfortable area for him to rest in a location where I could easily keep my eyes on him.



What is a baby lounger?

A baby lounger is essentially a pillow with a groove allowing your baby to sit nested in it without rolling or falling out. No straps, no harnesses, just a comfy baby seat. A lounger can be set up on any flat surface and allows your baby to recline at an angle for a better view.

Pros and cons of baby loungers

Not sure if a baby lounger is right for you? I have put together a quick list of the pros and cons loungers to help you decide for yourself!

Advantages of baby loungers

  • checkHands-free — Perhaps the biggest benefit of a baby lounger is that it frees up both your hands. You will be free to wash the dishes, exercise or even do the Macarena while your baby watches and silently judges you from the comfort of his lounger.
  • checkGives a good view — Your newborn baby has no neck support. A lounger seats your baby at a slight angle so that he can get get a good view of what you are doing. No more staring at the ceiling. Plus the elevated upper body can even help aid digestion and breathing!
  • checkCan be set up anywhere — A baby lounger isn’t exactly a complicated product. All you need is a flat surface and you can set it up in seconds. And the best part is that your house is full of flat surfaces. Countertops, beds and the floor are just a few of the places you can set up your baby’s lounger.
  • checkPortable — While loungers are just too bulky to pack away in your luggage, they are more than easy enough to carry around your home or to pack in the trunk of your car when visiting grandma. Try doing that with your baby swing or baby bouncer, which are somewhat of a chore to haul around the home.
  • check No more bending over — If you have a sore back, you can simply place your infant lounger on a high surface (like your kitchen counter) and bottle feed without having to stoop over.
  • check Easy to clean — Your baby is a mess monster. With gunky stuff coming out of all holes, it’s only a matter of time before you need to wash your baby lounger. Lucky for you, baby loungers are very easy to clean. A quick wipe down with a cloth is often all it takes, however for bigger spills, you have the option of throwing your lounger through a wash cycle.

Disadvantages of baby loungers

  • checkLimited use — Loungers are only used up until 4 months or until your baby can push himself up. So you won’t get to enjoy the benefits of the lounger for long.
  • checkIt’s another baby product — By now your home is overflowing with baby gadgets. And baby loungers are one more product to add to your collection.

Every parent’s situation is different and this is definitely a nice to have rather than a must-have. So the importance you place on a baby lounger may vary. But for me, I don’t know what I would have done without one.

Are Silicone Pacifiers Non-Toxic?

Silicone pacifiers are generally considered non-toxic. However, parents should still exercise caution and make informed choices when selecting pacifiers for their children. Here are some factors to consider: 1. Check for Safety Certifications Look for pacifiers that meet safety standards and certifications. In the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has guidelines for pacifiers, and reputable manufacturers often follow these regulations. The European Union has its safety standards, which are equally stringent. Pacifiers with these certifications are more likely to be non-toxic. 2. Avoid Cheap or Counterfeit Products Be cautious of extremely cheap pacifiers, especially if they are not from a well-known and reputable brand.
