Good for nursing and far beyond

by P. Hillemann 2008-09-19

For years after I no longer needed it as a nursing stool, I have used this stool to rest my feet on while working at my computer. This allowed me to raise the height of my chair to reduce neck strain when my monitor was a little too high for comfort. The angle reduces strain on the back and makes the whole setup so comfortable. Terrific product.

DOES THE JOB, ONE MINOR ITEM - SEE BELOW:

by JoelNale 2008-07-11

Our baby was in NICU for about a week. These Medela nursing stools were everywhere and for good reason - it was crucial in helping ensure my wife nursed well and without pain. Here are my findings:

PROS:
1. Promotes proper back posture. This simple item helped her maintain good back posture when breast feeding.
2. Sturdy. This item will last a long time
3. Stable. The rubber footings ensure a secure grip

CONS:
1. My only gripe is the wood is so hard that it was somewhat difficult to screw the screws in properly.

JOEL'S RECOMMENDATION:
Invest the money for this item. Also recommended is a Boppy pillow. Do not let my "con" listed above deter you. Just be patient and use a bit of strength and the screws will seat themselves just fine.

Love this product. It raises my legs to the perfect height - use it with my rocking chair even when I'm not nursing.

Very comfortable

by C. Cavanagh 2007-12-27

I bought three of these - one for my mom, my sister and my aunt. All three of them liked it - it is very comfortable to sit at the kitchen table with something to support your feet on.

Medela Nursing stool for rughooking back support

by S. K. Brady 2007-10-28

I LOVE this stool. I do not use it not for nursing but it helps with back support when rug hooking or doing needlework. It is light and easily moveable.
