Ask any mother how important a good feeding chair is, and you’ll get a resounding “VITAL” as the answer. Whether your baby is a cluster feeding newborn, or an on the go toddler who just ‘checks in’ every once in a while, a comfortable place to sit could just be the most important baby purchase you make!
 
Nursing chairs have never been synonymous with cool, but the range by Olli Ella is set to change that, with their collection of beautiful, playful and oh-so comfortable nursing chairs for design-savvy Mums and Dads. Olli Ella’s team of seasoned craftsmen and upholsterers lovingly hand-make each piece from start to finish in England, combining fresh and modern design with traditional craftsmanship. With the launch of the range in Australia, Olli Ella have set up manufacturing operations locally, ensuring the same attention to detail and speedy delivery.  More than just a nursing chair, these are future family heirlooms.
 
Here at Bebe, we're proud to be the only Victorian stockist of this glam range of nursery furniture.  We’re particularly smitten with the Mo-ma chair and On-It ottoman. This fabulous little number is upholstered in luxurious stain-resistant micro-suede in a stunning range of colours, offset by contrast piping. The hardwood base is treated with a rich chocolate finish, and the glider comes with a removable lumbar pillow. To top it off, the chair boasts the smoothest of gliding motions, sure to lull your little one (and you!) to sleep.
 
 
No comfy seat is complete without an equally comfy place to rest your feet. Enter the On-It Ottoman. Fully upholstered in stain-resistant micro-suede and offset by piping around the body, the On-it glides in sync with both the Mo-Ma and Da-da. The ottoman features a rich chocolate hardwood base that houses Olli Ella’s custom-made gliding mechanism
 
Whether you’re breast or bottle feeding, a comfortable chair is a must have on your shopping for baby list. Particularly for breastfeeding mothers who will spend more time sitting with a baby in their arms than you could possibly imagine! On a cost-per-use basis, this chair will pay for itself in the first weeks of your child’s life. When baby gets too big for bedtime rocking, Olli Ella chairs will happily make the move to the living room (no one would ever guess that they started life in the nursery).

We’ve been waiting for Babybjorn to release a more modern take on their famous 123 Baby Sitter baby bouncer, and are happy to announce the new colour scheme is gingham-free!!  We always felt the gingham detail compromised an otherwise contemporary looking bouncer and are pleased to see this has been replaced with a modern blend of black and silver. The new Baby Sitter Balance bouncer is arriving in October, and a great fit for the modern home. The Baby Sitter Balance bouncer is priced at  $229.95 and available right here at bebeonline.

Created with 100% natural Bamboo soft fabric and is both anti-bacterial and anti-allergenic. We’ll be receiving our first delivery of the Bloom Snug ($74.95) in approximately 2 weeks.

We often get asked by new parents-to-be exactly what role a baby bouncer plays in the daily life of a new baby.

This week Michaela asked:
Is a baby bouncer/rocker really something that I will use? In between having a sling, baby carrier and pram – in what instances would I use a bouncer?

Baby bouncers and rockers are a wonderful way to sooth a fussy baby or occupy an infant for a few minutes. They can easily become a lifesaver for exhausted parents and a wonderful tool to help infants fall asleep peacefully. I recall my bouncer being a godsend in those early months when I needed to complete basic tasks like showering, domestic duties and even just to give my baby a break from being constantly held.    Babies need space just like the rest of us, and allowing them some “down time” in the bouncer in between feeds can be a great re-grouping opportunity for all,

The bouncers sold by bebe all differ slightly in the extent to which they bounce, rock, and provide additional activities for your resting child. Refer to individual listings for detailed information on features and benefits.

Summary of core difference in bebe’s bouncers:

The Oeuf Baby Lounger is very popular for the modern family wanting something very minimal and neutral.  The Oeuf Lounger features a padded machine washable canvas seat that rests on its steel seat frame.  The Mamas & Papas Retro Bouncer is similar in its simplicity, however this also features a light vibrating feature.

The BABYBJÖRN Baby Sitter 1-2-3  is very simple and has been around for many years. It has clean lines, requires no batteries, and yet has the ability to entertain and soothe.  

If you’re looking to provide some gentle activity for your baby in comfort and style the Mamas & Papas Starlite Swing is a great choice for parents. The practical rocker easily converts from a rocker/swing to a stationary chair and is lightweight to fold and carry easily

 

The Bloom Coco Lounger is has a sleek design that looks right at home in a contemporary decor. Form follows function with a beautiful bentwood construction that allows the lounger to rock gently - and the soft seat and five-point harness nestle your little one safely and comfortably.

 

The Mamas & Papas Go-Go rocking cradle has a clean minimalist style with reversible colours and supreme comfort for your baby.  Its design is well thought through with extra features such as reversible fabrics, multi positional toy bar and integral co-ordinated head hugger which provides additional support for newborns.
