Review of LollyBeads Nursing Necklaces


My son is 7 months old now... and he can't stay focused on anything. This includes nursing. I was pulling my hair out trying to find ways to keep HIM from pulling my hair out, when a friend suggested a "nursing necklace." What is a nursing necklace? It is a brilliant idea made possible by such talented craftswomen as LollyBeads. The necklace provides a distraction for the nursing infant, giving them tactile and visual stimulation to keep them doing what they need to be doing--EATING!

I ordered the Mixed colors necklace and was anxious to give it a try. It was a generous 36 inches long, very sturdy, exploding with color and variety, and was equipped with a safety clasp in case of being yanked too hard. (The necklace is meant to be placed over your head, and not unclasped every time. This keeps the safety feature from becoming loose.) The necklaces are very affordable, and Laurie at LollyBeads also makes some other very beautiful pieces of jewelry! How did it do? Wonderfully! I was not only able to keep my little guy busy and eating.. but I think that I may have even been able to watch a little TV!

The perfect gift for a nursing mom (or for yourself), these nursing necklaces are a lifesaver! Check out all the designs (including Sugar and Spice, Snips and Snails, and Newborn) at the LollyBeads website.

I, too, got a nursing necklace from LollyBeads... and my son loved it, which meant I loved it. Also, the baby bracelets she sells are gorgeous.
