5.0 out of 5 stars I would have quit without it, June 21, 2003

I purchased this stool 6 weeks into breastfeeding my son. I was having all sorts of trouble feeding him and lots of back pain. I was on the verge of giving up! I went to see a lactation consultant, and she had this stool in her office. Sitting in front of her with my feet up on the stool, I was able to feed him without trouble (she hardly had to "consult"). Once I had this stool at home, things started falling in place.

Additionally, this stool has proven useful just as a stool, so your investment will last far longer than during nursing. My mom likes to put her feet up on it when she's simply holding my son.

I also want to remark that Medela stands by their product. We discovered that one of the legs on the stool cracked (we think when someone tripped on it during a late-night feeding). I called Medela, and they replaced it immediately.

I purchased this footstool about two weeks after I gave birth to my first child. Up until then, I had been using a flat footstool during nursing, but I was really unhappy with it. I couldn't seem to get into a comfortable position! When this stool arrived, all of that changed. Having your feet at a natural, 90-degree angle to your legs makes all the difference in the world! I was much happier with this footstool, and I know you will be, too!

The stool is exceptionally well made and hardy -- my oldest child is now ten, my youngest is four, and the footstool is still around! My son likes to keep the stool in his room to jump off of ("Superman!") and it has stood up to all of his abuse.

All in all, an excellent product -- well made, and really does the job! I can't recommend it highly enough.

I got this as a gift just before my second child was born. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the ease and comfort of nursing. It makes any chair the perfect nursing chair!! Once you try it, you'll never want to nurse without it!!
