::Abstract:: {Indie Mama} is donating a nursing necklace as a givaway for June! I got one from her and I have to say, it's great! There are all kinds of types of nursing necklaces. The purpose of a nursing necklace baby's just play with to distract them from pinching and scratching the crap out of you. "They are a safe necklace or piece of jewelry that can be worn by moms with breastfeeding babies.
When little ones turn about three months old they begin to get distracted while nursing and may like to pinch, scratch, poke, and yank mom’s hair while breastfeeding. When wearing a nursing necklace (breastfeeding necklace), you can help your baby's focus on breastfeeding while encouraging him or her to explore the necklace beads that are appropriate and safe for little hands. They also provide something fun and pretty to grab without hurting mommy." Breastfeeding Magazine
Personally, both my kids are very active breastfeeders. Olivia (2.5) likes to play with her feet and squirm all around. Ella likes to scratch and smack me. When I put the nursing necklace on, Ella immediately started playing with it. It was perfect for her to wrap her fingers in. I was also wearing it while we were at Perkins once and she was able to gum it because it's made of natural wood and was safe for her to put in her mouth (note that not all nursing necklaces work for this!!).
