 "Good for nursing and far beyond" | 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Once you have this stool, you will use it long after you stop nursing. It is wonderful for just propping your feet up while reading, watching TV, doing needlework, and much more. I have a rocker/glider that I use in my front room and the gliding ottoman is just awkward and bulky. I was using a regular child's step stool but have had to tip it onto two legs and I'm starting to notice some wear on my carpet. It is also easier to pick up and move out of the way than the ottomans or switch to the couch. |

This is a great stool. It make my legs the perfect height to nurse my son in his boppy.
My only con is that there are ribs on the top of the stool and if you don't wear socks or something to cover your feet it tends to hurt them.
Maybe I just have sensitive feet...but that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 starts.

| "For me it was a must-have" | 2007-04-12 |

| Before my daughter was born, I knew I was determined to breastfeed her. I read several books and asked a lot of moms what their breastfeeding must-haves were. Several people mentioned this nursing stool. I was doubtful about how helpful a little stool could actually be, but I also wanted every resource possible available to help my breastfeeding relationship go smoothly, so I went ahead and bought it. In the weeks prior to my daughter's birth, my husband assembled the stool and I would use it to prop up my aching feet after a long day at work. After my baby was born, I set up a little nursing station in my living room, and I found the stool to be an essential item. Basically it lifted my knees to just the right angle to help prop the baby in the correct position. I also used a nursing pillow, and between the pillow and the stool, the whole experience was actually very comfortable. I was able to nurse for long periods of time without feeling any pain or stress from holding the baby in the right position. I am definitely holding on to this item for use with future babies, and I would recommend it to any new mom who plans to nurse her baby. |

| A must have. You may be able to go without the ottoman if you are in a money crunch. I fed my son with this exclusively in my rocker for at least the first 8 months. The ottoman was too high for me and I am 5'6" |
