Tips for creating a breastfeeding space

Hi guys, hope you are doing well! We have started Golden August, a month which pushes the breast-feeding and, for incentivizing all moms, I have prepared this post with tips to create a breast-feeding space super comfortable and functional, basic assumptions to this very important little corner, a connection place, where mom and baby will get to strengthen the link, spending hours of much affection, always together with each other.

Why the name Golden August has been chosen?

Golden August is the name of a campaign created by the World Health Organization and Unicef, whose objective is to promote exclusive breastfeeding until the 6th month of life. Maternal milk is the best and most healthy food for babies, each drop is considered gold to child development, for this reason, they have chosen the name Golden August.

Comfort and functionality in breastfeeding time

It is fundamental that the mother has a comfortable and functional space in the breastfeeding time, the place must be exclusive to this finality, with everything by hands, in a practical way, thereby moms could enjoy a lot this magic experience that is to feed the baby, she will get unworried and will give herself in body and soul to this beautiful moment.

For this reason, ensure that the breastfeeding armchair place has a good natural lighting source and a support lamp for the night. Utilize slight bulbs and curtains, thereby will be possible to control the luminosity. It is also important that this way does not receive airflow, it should be tranquil and cozy.

Remember of having an outlet next to the armchair, it could be useful to reload mobile during breastfeeding, after all, our life is into this device, is not it really?

Furniture for the breastfeeding little corner

Comfortable armchair

The most important piece for the breastfeeding little corner is the armchair, it should be very comfortable, with support for the head and arms. Some are gyratory or rocking, which facilitates a lot when is time to lull the baby. Ah! Do not forget of having an ottoman or stool to rest your legs.

The ideal armchair needs to have support to the head and Arms, therefore, it is important to have an ottoman our stool to rest the legs.

Nowadays, many people are choosing models of armchair that could be reused in the future, that has not been designed exclusively to breastfeed, but even like that, it has all characteristics that I have mentioned above. I think it a great idea, there are many beautiful pieces, which serve perfectly to the mother’s needs. My tip is: choose a neutral color, in this way, it will be easier to combine with the décor of the little baby bedroom and with other rooms at home

Support table

It is important to have a support table, shelf, or any other piece which allows letting everything on by hand, needless to interrupt the breastfeeding. This item is very important for letting a book, mobile, mouth napkin, remote controls and, mainly, bottles of water, because breastfeeding let us thirsty, guys!

Other important items to the breastfeeding little corner

There are other pieces which are very important to the breastfeeding little corner, for example, a blanket for cold days, which can be left on the armchair, looks beautiful and is very practical. I also recommend a rug, which in addition to its aesthetic function, brings cozy and warms the ambient.

There is a cushion that is specific for breastfeeding, this is a very nice item to have, it reduces muscle tension in the shoulders, neck, and arms, leaving moms more rested.

I have a post full of tips for decorating baby rooms, if you're at this stage, it's worth taking a look at this text as well.
