New babies are sooo sleepy! Ember and I have really hit our stride and are matching much better now in regards to supply and demand during nursing :) I enjoy her sweet ice cream smell and the snuggles we share together, gosh I love that girl!
Have you ever seen necklaces like these? A wonderful new friend and blogger [Best of Baby Lady], Iulia asked me to join her in a teething necklace giveaway! I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity, and am so excited to share with you a little about it!
She says they are MAGIC when it comes to grabbing a baby's attention. Wearing this while nursing will draw your little one's focus back to where it needs to be - your chest. And they offer tactile engagement so it gives them something to pull on other than your hair or your bra strap. Here's my girl Iulia and her sweet daughter showing off the merchandise! 
But not only is it a great nursing necklace, it also doubles as a teething necklace. The beads are made from baby-safe silicone that are soft to chew on and soothing on aching gums. I know when Marshall was little, he would tug and chew on my necklaces, so much so, that I just stopped wearing them altogether -- this necklace design is a great way to meet your little one at their stage and needs!
And to top it all off, it's super cute! You can wear it as you would any other necklace, except this is one you actually WANT your baby to fiddle with. It comes in really handy when it's milk time or just to keep an antsy baby occupied while being held.
You can purchase these nursing/teething necklaces from several different places, but Iulia's favorite (the research queen) is from My Natural Baby. Why? 3 reasons:1) They're BEAUTIFUL - They come in so many cute colors and styles. Their Sugargems line is particularly striking.
2) They're SAFE - My Natural Baby uses FDA approved, food grade silicone beads, that are free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, cadmium or heavy metals. (Which, believe it or not, is not so uncommon in baby things). If my baby is chewing on it, I want it to be as non-toxic as possible!
3) They WORK - Visually interesting, tactile stimulation, and they promote development of fine motor skills. Plus, they love it! I mean, look at this bub...happy, no?
My Natural Baby is a family run business offering eco-living products that are good for both mommy and baby. The owners, Kelvin and Kelly, have two precious daughters. In their years as parents, they have researched, tested, evaluated and weeded out countless of natural and organic products, so they are able to offer you the best of the best in their shop.
But not only are they knowledgeable, they're also generous :) My Natural Baby is offering one lucky reader their choice of a Sugargems teething/nursing necklace. Have a silly, distracted baby? Or maybe you just want a cute new necklace? Enter below! But if you'd rather not take your chances on winning, Kelly is offering free shipping for any orders over $30 Australian...but that's actually only $24 US...a steal! Use code BESTOFBABY at checkout :)
(Note: Babies should not be left to play with these necklaces. Although they are teethers, they are for mamas to wear, not for babies to play with on their own. This can pose a strangulation hazard.)
Iulia from Best of Baby was given this necklace in exchange for her honest review. All opinions are her own. Myself and other bloggers promoting the giveaway were not compensated in any way.
