The secret to a calm, comfortable and functional nursery? Your nursery chair. Whether you’re feeding, cuddling or just taking a moment to breathe, the right chair can make all the difference – especially during those late-night feeds! At iL Tutto, we offer both glider and electric recliner nursery chairs, each thoughtfully designed to support you through the early days of newborn parenting and beyond. But which one is best for your needs? We explore the key differences between gliders and electric nursery chairs, and which is the best nursing chair for C-section recovery. What is a glider nursery chair? A glider nursery chair offers a smooth back-and-forth motion that can help soothe your baby  – and you – during feeding or settling. Unlike traditional rocking chairs, which move in an arc, gliders stay low to the ground and move gently on a fixed track, making them stable and quiet.  Gliders also typically include a recline feature and a pop-out footrest. They can be electric – like the Frankie Electric Recliner Gliders – or non-electric – like the Chelsea Glider Recliner. What is an electric nursery chair? An electric nursery chair includes all the benefits of a glider, with the convenience of electric recline and other functionality. Designed for convenience and ease, electric recliner nursery chairs are particularly helpful during the early weeks with a newborn when your arms are full and your body is still healing from childbirth.  iL Tutto electric nursery chairs feature whisper-quiet motors so you don’t disrupt the baby if they’re sleeping in your arms. They also include USB charging ports that can be used for your phone, tablet or other nursery equipment, such as a breast pump, night light or white noise machine. No matter which style you choose, they are all plush and supportive – many parents tell us they’re even comfortable enough to sleep in! Why electric nursery chairs are ideal after a C-section Why is an electric nursery chair recommended for C-section recovery? The answer is simple: they reduce the physical effort needed to sit, recline, and stand – movements that can be challenging when recovering from abdominal surgery. After a C-section, using a manual recliner or glider may require core strength you simply don’t have yet. An electric recliner nursery chair allows you to: Recline and sit upright at the push of a button Raise your legs to reduce swelling and discomfort Avoid bending, twisting or pushing on your abdominal area Get up more easily, with minimal strain What to look for in a nursery chair beyond gliding or recline While glider vs electric is a key decision, there are a few other features to keep in mind when choosing the best nursery chair for your space and lifestyle. 1. Armrest height Feeding – whether by breast or bottle – is much easier when the chair’s armrests sit at a comfortable height to support your elbows. All iL Tutto chairs are thoughtfully designed by parents for parents with this in mind. 2. Supportive cushioning Look for a chair with a supportive seat and back that doesn’t sag over time. A regular armchair might be comfortable to sit in but a nursery chair purpose-designed for feeding will feel plush but also provide enough structure to keep you sitting comfortably upright.  3. Quiet functionality Especially for overnight feeds, a nursery chair that reclines or glides quietly is essential. Our electric nursery chairs feature whisper-quiet motors, designed for minimal disruption when your baby is nodding off. 4. Longevity A well-designed nursing chair will outlast the baby years. Choose a style and colour that can transition into your living room, bedroom or reading nook. With their timeless design and neutral palettes, iL Tutto nursery chairs are made to grow with your family and your home. Find your perfect nursery chair Whatever your style or needs, iL Tutto has you covered.

Parenting can be a wild ride. In an instant your life changes and you become responsible for a tiny person who relies on you for everything. Except that one day they won’t rely on you any longer. One moment you’re cradling your newborn and marvelling at their impossibly tiny features. In the blink of an eye, they’re outgrowing their bassinet, then standing up in their cot and then climbing into their “big kid” bed. Each of the parenting milestones is filled with its own unique joys. But it’s the “lasts” that we often feel the most. The last night in their bassinet. The last time they wake in the middle of the night for a feed. The last time you carry them to bed while they’re sleeping. Yet with every “last” comes a new “first”. The first night in their new cot. The first night they sleep through the night. The first time they can take themselves off to bed after falling asleep on the sofa. Parenting is a dance of letting go and leaning into what comes next – a constant cycle of closing one chapter and embracing the next with love and curiosity. The tiny moments we hold on to The early days, weeks and months with a newborn rush past in a blur of sleepless nights and endless feeds. No sooner do you think you’ve mastered a stage of parenting than your baby has suddenly changed again, reaching a new baby milestone with new skills and needs. But there’s also something magical about that time. You’re in your own little family bubble, enjoying a world that feels smaller, quieter and filled with wonder. You sit and watch their chest rise and fall while they sleep and love the way their tiny fingers wrap around yours. Of all the great parenting tips you receive as a new parent, know that it’s these moments. The quiet moments when it’s just you and your baby, that you’ll remember the most. You’ll remember the hard stuff too – and treasure it in your own way – but it’s the tiny memories we hold on to. And that’s what makes those lasts so hard. Those parenting milestones mean that you’re closing the door on another chapter, another set of tiny moments. Every “last” leads to a “first” The “lasts” can feel so final. But with each “last” comes a “first” – the beginning of something new and extraordinary. The last night in the bassinet is the first step towards independence as your baby transitions into their cot. The last time you use the pram leads to the start of many exciting adventures. The last day of daycare marks the beginning of their time at “big school.”  Parenting is a journey of milestones, a series of “lasts” that gracefully give way to “firsts.” It’s bittersweet. There’s sadness about closing the door on one stage. But also excitement at what awaits beyond the door to the next stage, with all of the tiny moments that come with it. iL Tutto is with you for the “lasts” and the “firsts” From the first sleep at home to the last sleep in the bassinet and the years in the cot and toddler bed, iL Tutto is with you for all the parenting milestones.

If there’s one thing that’s common among the majority of new parents, it’s sleep. Or rather, lack of sleep. Baby sleep is unpredictable and ever-changing. And while you can’t always control when or how your baby sleeps, one thing you can control is how prepared you are for each stage.  We’re parents. We’ve been on the no-sleep rollercoaster and lived to tell the tale. We understand the challenges parents face when it comes to creating a sleep space that is not only safe and comfortable but also practical and stylish. That’s why we’ve designed a range that supports you through every transition.  We wish we could wave a magic wand and solve your sleep woes. We can’t. But we can do the next best thing by helping you to create a nursery that’s ready to support you and your baby through every stage of sleep. We’ve compiled our sleep tips for new parents to get you on the right track for the sweetest of dreams.  Newborn sleep – bassinet  Newborn sleep patterns can be unpredictable and fragmented with short bursts of sleep scattered throughout the day and night. The newborn stage is all about closeness, comfort and connection. As much for the baby as it is for the parents.   Safe co-sleeping – with a co-sleeping bassinet, like the CoZee Lite Bassinet – offers parents the reassurance of having their baby within arm’s reach, making those early weeks feel more manageable. It’s purposefully designed to combine safety, practicality and comfort while also being lightweight and portable.  Sleep deprivation for new mothers and fathers is extreme. That’s why the CoZee Co-sleeping Bassinets are packed with sleep-friendly features. There’s the easy-to-use side opening which makes night feeds a breeze, giving you the ability to keep your baby within arm’s reach at all times.  The lightweight design and compact fold also make it easy to get the baby to sleep anywhere. Whether that’s on visits to grandparents, weekends away or simply moving the bassinet from room to room to avoid noise or to keep them close.   The transition from bassinet to cot  Those baby milestones happen fast and before you know it, your baby will be ready to transition from bassinet to cot. This is usually when they start rolling or when they grow too big for the bassinet, which can happen at around 3-6 months old.   Once your baby does move into the cot, there are other transitions that happen, namely changing the mattress height as they grow. All iL Tutto cots offer adjustable mattress heights so the cot can grow with your baby. Beyond the baby stage, each cot also converts into a sofa and toddler bed for even more longevity.  Many of the iL Tutto cots can also be combined with a matching chest for effortless nursery style. The space-saving designs offer ample storage with a detachable changer for added versatility beyond the nappy years.  The role of a nursery chair in baby sleep  Often the answer of how to get a newborn to sleep doesn’t involve any complex secret or trick. It’s usually about motion and closeness. That’s where a nursery chair comes into play.   A well-designed nursery chair offers the perfect place for feeding during the night – or day – and rocking your baby to sleep. Many parents find that their nursery chair almost becomes a sanctuary in the nursery. It’s a calming space that makes it easy to establish a sleep routine.   iL Tutto nursery chairs are designed by parents for parents to be both stylish and practical, offering supportive cushioning, gentle rocking or gliding motions and ergonomic armrests. It will become your favourite spot to spend time with your baby – whether that’s feeding, singing lullabies, reading or watching them as they sleep peacefully in your arms.  Sweet dreams are built on preparation  The best sleep tip for new parents that we can share is to be prepared with the tools you need from the beginning. And we make it easy for you to do so with our “Grow With Me” packs. Choose the pack that suits you best, including a full nursery pack with CoZee Lite Bassinet, Cot, Chest and Chelseag Eg Shell Nursery Chair. The packs are designed as a cost-effective solution to set you and your baby up for sweet dreams from day one.    Ready to create your dream nursery?
