Being a Southern Gal I have seen many Nursing and Parlor chairs in the past and are still collectible. They generally are well padded to make it very comfy to bide the time on your tuffet.
As a quote from Wiki "In Victorian times the nursing chair was a low seated partially upholstered chair. Nursing included caring for children as well as breastfeeding. The low seat of the chair allowed the mother, who would have been wearing a stiff corset, to interact with small children without bending over. This chair form was particularly popular in England and found primarily in upper class homes. The types of wood most frequently used were oak, rosewood or walnut. The seat was often sprung and could be button decorated or adorned with a circumferential braid or pair of braids.[1] The chair legs were frequently of a cabriole style or a straight-legged spindle design."
Now Mart, just how high is your butt? LOL (I am probably opening a can of worms with that question!)
ghopper1924 I can't say as I have seen a collapsible nursing chair. Are you talking about a collapsible rocking chair?
I know I used a rocking chair with child #1 but after that no because the sure enough the other 3 would end up around the chair and rocking would have ended up causing an injury! In fact I recall rocking on a couple of paws/tails when they tried getting so close to me/baby. 😢
