Breast Buddies Nursery Necklaces
Studies show that depressed and stressed-out mothers inhibit babies' abilities to feel happiness for positive events later in their lives. Since babies spend so much of their first year’s breastfeeding, mums who are finding the experience difficult due to their babies dwindling attention spans could be cumulatively spending a great amount of time holding back their babies' brain formation. If your baby's main sport involves pulling your hair, pinching your skin, biting you, and otherwise playfully torturing you while nursing, you need a nursing necklace! When baby's uncontrollable urge for exploration comes at your expense, redirect their attention toward the nursing necklace.How to Use the Necklaces
Looking for something to occupy those wandering hands? A nursing necklace is a necklace especially designed for mums to wear whilst breastfeeding. Its invaluable at saving your more precious and expensive jewellery from babies clutches and also a great way to stop babies pinching, scratching and hair pulling at the same time as encouraging your little ones development. A Breast-Buddies Nursing Necklaces has been specially designed to appeal to and stimulate your baby.

But that's not all the awesomeness! How about the other ways our Nursing Necklaces boost brain development? While talking in Latin and reciting the Prime Ministers in order, over and over again, might be a bit heavy for a 3-month old, colours and patterns speak for themselves. The colours and sights of our Nursing Necklaces make baby want to reach out and grasp. Research shows that a moderate amount of stimulation, tailored to a young infant's needs, results in earlier development of reaching. Either very little, or excessive stimulation actually results in a slower progress of motor skills. (Burton White, Richard Held, 1966). A Nursing Necklace introduced at regular times of the day, provides all the developmentally necessary stimulation for your baby. Too many toys can actually be detrimental, causing emotional distress in your baby.
This visual stimulation is important because it makes your baby want to reach out
and grasp and of all motor skills, voluntary reaching is believed to play the greatest role in infant cognitive development,
because it opens a new world of exploring the environment. (Bushnell & Boudreau, 1993) Our Nursing Necklaces are an ideal
stimulator, with various shapes, textures, temperatures (smoother beads
are cooler to the touch), sizes and weights. By grasping, exploring and seeing what happens when the necklace is released, infants learn
about the sights, sounds, and feel of objects, encouraging
further exploration and growth. You start attracting your baby's interest by using Our Nursing
Necklaces containing colours your baby prefers. Until two months of age, babies can best see and enjoy black, white and red contrasting
objects. (Banks & Ginsburg, 1985). By two months of age, their detection of detail in objects has increased and their interest in their
Necklace will also increase (Little one under 2 months? Have a look at our Newborn range, Designed with strong contrasts which
will stimulate and appeal to younger eyes!).
However, it's best to have more than one Nursing Necklaces. Our brains are all designed to be attracted to novelty. (Fagan & Singer, 1979) If you want your baby to be drawn to your Nursing Necklace instead of your hair, you'll best keep their interest by offering some change. We would advise 2 or 3 and they be swapped regularly.
So Why Breast Buddies Nursing Necklaces?
what makes Breast-Buddies Nursing Necklaces of a high standard is the unique stringing technique used, the high quality of
components and our special safety clasp and cording. Breast-Buddies are
one of the very very few UK sellers to use a safety clasp, this is a must have as it prevents serious strangulation hazards and will stop the
necklace from breaking as it creates a safe weaker point in the necklace. Not many other UK made Nursing Necklaces are strung on a cording
as strong as ours-with many being strung on hemp cording which only has a tested breaking strength of a mere 20lbs and is simply knotted
together. This can be very dangerous in the event of a sharp tug, as without the clasp what is going to give -The necklace. Not only will
your necklace be ruined but also you will be finding beads for weeks to come and they present a choking hazard to your little one.
With any excessive pressure our specially designed clasp will simply pop apart. Our unique safety clasp will never loose its shape or begin to
fall open as they are super strong, made from hardened stead fast plastic and are covered by a 1 year guarantee!
At Breast-Buddies we offer a unique cording with strength of 50-100lbs (depending which design you choose), which is 100%
waterproof & can be sterilised. Now as this is a not a teether it does not NEED to be Sterilised, but as a mum you can never be too careful
when it comes to your kids, so for peace of mind you have the option to pop it in Sterilising solution. Unlike hemp cording Breast-Buddies
cording will not become smelly when wet or break down over time, its super strong, waterproof and will stay
that way for years to come!
All items come in professionally sealed packaging, pre-sterilised and ready to use. Our handy product information inserts
give an easy to understand explanation of what is a Nursing Necklace and how to use it, and each item comes beautifully presented pre-wrapped in
pink tissue paper so it is ready to be given as a gift!
