Nursing Necklace - Engaging Distracted Infants

As many new mothers do, I struggled with breastfeeding early on. My first child, Megan, and I had a difficult time figuring each other out. With extra encouragement and a wonderful lactation consultant, I found the will to continue. With some extra effort, we were soon nursing with ease. However, my slumbering baby soon turned into a curious, wide-eyed explorer. Megan, who used to nurse contentedly for what seemed liked hours, was now interested in everything but eating! The idea of a "nursing necklace" was exactly what I needed.

I created our first 'Mommy & Megan Necklace' three years ago. I used my background in early childhood and sensory/tactile development to create our first necklace. Over the course of our two year nursing relationship, I watched Megan interact with our necklaces. She challenged me to continually improve them and find ways to make them more engaging and stimulating. During those two years, I had no breastfeeding challenge greater than meeting her curious needs while nursing. She craved sensory input and she put my skills to the test!

Megan is now four and you may think she has left behind her old "nursing necklaces". However, her original necklaces have turned into special keepsakes for us. As a preschooler, she also enjoys using them for dress-up, putting them on her dolls, and using them for learning. I often giggle as I watch her play and think about how one little necklace started this all (we still have the first one)!

Last summer, I welcomed my second child into the word, Evan. We're currently enjoying a very 'busy' nursing relationship and he's definitely made me glad I do what I do. At almost a year he is still very distractible and as you would suspect, I always have an arsenal of nursing necklaces on hand for him.

This opportunity not only cured my bruises from my pinching baby,but it has also allowed me work from home full-time (WAHM), while staying at home with my daughter and son. I am a certified teacher with a B.S. in Early Childhood. I have had a variety of experiences working with different ages and stage of child development including children with special needs (such as sensory disorders), teaching toddlers, preschoolers, and the early elementary grade levels.
