I have just discovered this person on e-bay selling breastfeeding necklaces, something I had never heard of before, but what a great idea.  They are just brightly coloured, secure necklaces that baby can fiddle with whilst you feed them.  The seller is called boobiemonster_necklaces.

She also does matching bracelets that you can put on either wrist to remind you which side you fed on last time.

Just ordered mine, but paypal have got a hiccup atm, so I will give it 24 hours then see if the payment went through!  They are lovely!  You watch I'll get mine and dd will take them off me!  They look very much value for money, especially as the cost includes the postage too!

I know what you mean Madz about which side, it's just I dried up very quickly with 2nd- 4th child, I want to make sure this time.  I've even bought in some flavoured water to get my coffee intake down ready, and so that I can access drinks even quicker to keep hydrated!  I know I can't guarantee success at breast feeding, it depends on the individual baby, but I really want to to try for as long as I can, and I hope I don't dry up quickly this time round.  I will still have bottles and sma in ready just in case, but I'm hoping to do as well as I did with ds1!

excellent idea!

with max i used to swap a bracelet around for every feed. but with tom that went completely out of the window!  both boys had an awful habit of squeezing my breast as they fed, i felt like being a milked cow!  even though i wore a necklace nothing seemed to distract them from doing this-lololl.

i wonder how many necklaces/bracelets she has sold?

brill idea, but a few months to late as i stopped, ill invest in 1 for next time, bracelets sound great as i could never remember which one i last fed on, molly used to always twiggle my hair when she was feeding so necklace is a good idea too, fairplay to the woman who thought about these items i bet shes selling loads!!!

I saw these a while ago and thought they were funky.

Just wanted to gatecrash after reading my lovely feedback and say thank you for your comments :) I started making these a few weeks ago, sold a couple to begin with and now things are starting to take off more. It's all thanks to the feedback that I get on sites like this and I really appreciate it! Am glad that the people who have bought the necklaces enjoy them, it really makes my day.

Am off to discover this site more - wish I'd found you when I was pg.

Thanks again

Kina
