A Closer Look at the Nursing Necklace

Have you heard of the nursing necklace? This piece of jewellery is original, lovely to wear, and genuinely useful! Mums are absolutely mad about them and regularly recommend them to mums-to-be! So, what exactly is a nursing necklace? We'll tell you all about it right now — and we'll even give you some tips on how to choose one!

The nursing necklace: the trendiest accessory for the 0–3 age group!

The nursing necklace is a piece of jewellery worn by the mother, but greatly enjoyed by baby. It is also known as a babywearing necklace or a teething necklace. This necklace can be worn throughout the first three years of your little one's life. It keeps them occupied while they feed. But do bear in mind that bottle-feeding mums may also be tempted by this natural jewellery. This necklace has been designed to stimulate and capture your child's attention — they can keep their hands busy playing with it, or simply by looking at it. When a baby feeds, they tend to pull at your hair, scratch your chest, put their hand on your face… and you quickly discover just how strong they are! This nursing necklace diverts their attention — and saves you in the process!

How to choose my nursing necklace?

Well, tastes differ of course, but a nursing necklace should be chosen according to certain criteria:

• Make sure it is certified (many sellers online offer "handmade" items that do not always comply with French standards)
• Opt for a nursing necklace that is "Made in France"
• Choose a necklace that is long enough for your baby to reach, but not too long. Some nursing necklaces have an adjustable cord — very handy!
• Where possible, choose natural materials that are safe for children, such as natural wood or food-grade silicone.

Good to know: your nursing necklace can be given to your child when they are teething, to help soothe them.
