When baby gets to around 2 to 4 months of age their vision starts to improve and boy are they interested in EVERYTHING going on around them! Trying to breastfeed a curious baby is an exercise in patience as your new baby keeps pulling off the breast to look around them, especially when you're out and about. They are also developing fine motor skills and might like to play with (i.e. pull hard on) your hair, or pinch your skin. All of these add up to a frustrating breastfeeding session! A silicone nursing necklace can be a real life saver at this time. The coloured non-toxic silicone beads give something for baby to look at and fiddle with. The breastfeeding necklace can help to keep baby at the breast for longer, and can save your poor skin from all that pinching and twiddling! On top of that, if you're worried about baby putting things in their mouths when you're carrying them, then the non toxic food grade silicone beads are a great option for Mum to wear.
Teether Necklace for Mums
Finding stylish jewellery for mums is hard enough, without worrying about whether baby is going to chew on your accessories! Choosing teething necklaces made with non toxic, food safe silicone beads means you don't have to stress when baby puts it in their mouth. Your baby may have sore, itchy gums and be putting everything in their mouth all the time, including your jewellery. Food grade silicone beads are soft and non toxic so you can be confident that the materials are safe for chewing.
Importantly, please remember teething necklaces are NOT teething toys, and are not safe to leave with your baby under the age of 36 months. If you are looking for teething toys for babies check out the styles available in our Teething Toys for Babies category.
We do have a collection of teether necklaces for kids over 3 years of age, so you can purchase silicone jewellery for your children - just search our shop for "mini me" to find a silicone necklace for your child over 3 years of age.
Silicone Nursing Necklaces - Great for Breastfeeding
A silicone necklace can be a boon for breastfeeding mums with a distracted baby. When your baby keeps pulling off and looking around you can use your breastfeeding necklace to keep babies attention at your chest and breastfeeding for longer. The Food Grade Silicone Beads are also safe for baby to chew on when they're not breastfeeding. Best of all, a breastfeeding necklace can keep twiddling fingers busy, when they're wanting to play with the other side during a feeding session.
A silicone breastfeeding necklace also makes a great gift for mums. We have a great range of jewellery colour options so you can find the right style when you're shopping.
