The Nomi Concept

When searching for a highchair for your child it is important to take into account the ergonomics of how the seat fits their body. Infants have immature musculature and it takes a great deal of focus and energy to maintain a seated position. Additionally, eating involves a complex coordination between the mouth, hands, and body. If the child is exhausting themselves just sitting up, then they won’t be able to focus on safely chewing and swallowing; placing them at an increased risk of choking. Additionally, kneeling compromises blood supply to their legs leading to fidgetiness and difficulty finishing their meals. 

The ideal highchair provides foot support maintaining a 90 degree angle at the knee. Dangling feet cause instability and discomfort. For children under 2 years of age, a harness or belt is recommended to prevent baby from falling or climbing out. 

The Nomi, designed by award winning and world renowned designer Peter Opsvik (designer of the Tripp Trapp in 1972) whom spent his entire career studying seating and ergonomics, has mastered the ability to adapt and adjust as baby grows. The Nomi truly embodies the ideal seat from birth into adulthood.

Even before your baby has developed the ability to sit, this highchair is the perfect choice to grow-with-them. With the option to purchase an add-on attachment, which adapts the chair for baby, a child can comfortably use the Nomi High Chair all the way until adolescence and adulthood. Another great thing about the Nomi is that it can be used as-it-comes, without a tray and pulled up to the table. If you desire to use the highchair independently (away from the table) there is an optional tray available.

The three stages of the Nomi Highchair:

  • Nomi Baby: From newborn until your baby is sitting up around 6 months of age. The recliner adjusts easily from a near horizontal position to more upright allowing baby to maintain a seat close to the family table. 
  • Nomi High Chair: From 6 months and sitting until approx. 2 years of age, the Nomi High Chair provides support and security. Complete with a crotch restraint and harness the highchair may be used pulled up to the dinner table or with the optional tray. 
  • Nomi Chair: At approximately 2 years of age, when your toddler can safely climb on and off, the Nomi Chair provides tailored support for all activities from meals to homework and crafts. 

Safety:

  • Approved up to 330 lbs
  • OEKO-TEX Standard fabric cushions
  • FSC Standard wood used for stem
  • JPMA Certified
  • None of the materials release harmful substances

Isabella was a little uncertain about Santa this year. She LOVED talking to him but didn’t want to sit on his lap for more than 30 seconds. Noah on the other hand was his biggest fan. Luke is learned why all the Santa’s look different 😅

Sweet Isabella woke up in the wee hours with her first stomach bug. My heart breaks for her. What are your favorite ways to heal upset tummies? And to entertain siblings stuck indoors?

This year I really struggled with the decision between homeschool and public school. For so many reasons my heart lies with homeschooling, but in the end we chose to let the boys choose and they both desired to be with their friends in public school. 

What type of schooling have you chosen for your kids and why?
As the parent of a child with a rare medical diagn As the parent of a child with a rare medical diagnosis, going to the doctor is very uncomfortable. While Noah is doing extremely well his specialist ends all her sentences with phrases like “for now” or “at the moment”. It’s like she refuses to even hope that he will thrive. Yes, realistic expectations are important, but the facts are that Noah’s genetics are exceptionally rare and nobody knows what he will accomplish. 
So today I choose joy, joy that he is still with us, joy that he is catching up in every way, and JOY that I am blessed to be his mama and learn so much from him.

Her brothers adore her and love making her laugh. Bella is still a great sleeper, and eating is her favorite. She is starting to take her first steps and we are excited to watch her grow! 

When did your babies walk?
