This chair is beautiful. The fabric is nice too. The back is a good height (Im 53 but i can easily rest my head on the back). What I absolutely hate is how it sits forward. Even if u try really hard to relax back in it, you cant. I think Ill need to buy an ottoman - not sure if thatll help though. Its ok for breastfeeding because of it sitting so straight, and the back is very supportive. But, if you were to use it to rock your baby, you could do only that, rock. You couldnt ever fall asleep in this chair. With my son we had an old crappy chair wed sit in that was a small rocker/recliner. Many times, Id fall asleep holding him in that chair. That couldnt happen in this chair. Bummer. If I could, Id definitely return it and get a different chair.
Sits up too straight/forward
