Breastfeeding is a special moment, both for nourishing the baby and for developing a deep emotional connection between mother and child. Using a nursing chair can amplify this bond and offer multiple emotional and medical benefits.

Emotional bonding and the benefits of using a nursing chair

A nursing chair provides a comfortable and secure space for mother and baby, facilitating eye contact, touch, and physical presence— essential elements in creating and strengthening the emotional bond. Spending time together in this relaxed position stimulates feelings of safety and trust, which are vital for the child's emotional development.

Oxytocin and healthy breastfeeding

Feeding in a comfortable and relaxed position stimulates the secretion of oxytocin, known as the “love hormone.” This hormone is important for:

• Milk production – Oxytocin causes the contraction of cells in the mammary gland, helping to release milk.
• Strengthening the emotional bond – It induces feelings of well-being, relaxation, and attachment, enhancing the sense of connection between mother and child.

Studies show that comfortable positions— especially those allowing for skin-to-skin contact— increase oxytocin levels and promote natural, healthy breastfeeding.

Body position and the importance of comfort

Using a nursing chair helps the mother maintain an ergonomic posture, reducing the risk of back pain and discomfort. Proper positioning— with a straight back, supported, and feet on a stool— ensures optimal relaxation and makes breastfeeding smoother and more comfortable for both mother and baby.

Stimulating the bond and healthy breastfeeding

Beyond physical factors, breastfeeding in a chair becomes a calming experience filled with affection. Skin contact, direct eye contact, and physical support contribute to forming a strong, healthy bond, which is a fundamental foundation for the child's emotional development.
