I'd say no. You just need to find something that you are comfortable sitting in and feeding the baby. I already had an IKEA Poang chair and at first I found it awkward to breastfeed in because it meant that I had to lean back - breastfeeding for me was much easier sitting on a dining chair or even the couch with loads of pillows behind to prop me up! Once I got the hang of breastfeeding I could do it anywhere and any midnight feeds were done lying down in my bed with the baby alongside me...much easier when you are half asleep.

Here's a tip! Don't invest in everything before you have the baby...once you have it work out what you think you need that would make life easier. I stressed about getting the nursery ready only to find I moved everything into either my room or the living room and didn't use the baby room for the first 6 months!

Love the deck. Perfect!

NOT A SHAG PILE! I have 2 cats and used to have a shag pile - I got rid of it because of all the dust and fur that gets trapped and is hard to clean even with a good vacuum cleaner. I would say a flatwoven wool rug would be ideal for cats!

Also - if my cats are coughing up hair balls or are sick they always seem to find a rug to do it on - its very gross to get that in a shag pile rug - and hard to clean!
