- In much smaller apartments an alcove or niche in the bedroom is created which would serve as a functional nursery.
- An integral element in each nursery is the nursing chairwhere a mother can retreat into her own world and bond with the baby. Most options in nursing chairs are made to provide a mother with utmost comfort while nursing the baby.
- Nursing chairs are available in various pastel colours that often go with pink, white, or blue décor themes. They are also baby proof with soft upholstery with foam round the edges and corners. Rocking the baby to sleep with a lullaby playing in the background is a comfort every mother looks forward to.
