My beautiful daughter, Matilda Mae, will be six weeks old on Wednesday. She is exclusively breastfed and of this fact I am very proud. But breastfeeding a newborn is time consuming and it is making me sad. I have two … Continue reading
Here at Edspire we are big fans of Mama Jewels and today at my NCT Reunion I found that some of the other new parents are too. Mummies because they can continue to wear beautiful jewellery that is safe for their babies and Daddies because suddenly buying gifts for their jewellery mad wives has become much cheaper as the jewels are made of plastic rather than precious stones.
One of the Mummies was wearing a beautiful Mama Jewels nursing necklace and I was wearing my lovely breastfeeding bracelet.
Breastfeeding one baby is proving very different for me from breastfeeding twins. Esther and William had a breast each so I always knew which side they were to feed from.
Matilda Mae feeds from both sides. Sometimes she takes both sides in one feed, sometimes she will take all of one and part of the other, sometimes she just takes one or part of one. It is very hard to keep track.
Especially when between feeds I am not only looking after her other needs but also those of our 22 month twins.
Days are busy, exhausting and I find it hard to keep track of anything.
My beautiful breastfeeding bracelet from Mama Jewels serves to remind me of one of the many things I need to remember throughout the day.
Which side next?
The breastfeeding reminder bracelet from Mama Jewels would be a welcome present for any new mummy who wants to feed her baby herself.
It is a simple idea but a simply stunning piece of baby friendly jewellery.
Mounted on double strength elastic, using Non Toxic beads and complete with a cute little frosted acrylic Heart displaying the message – either ‘This side next’ or ‘Yummy Mummy’
The little heart is approx 20mm across
At the end of your feed, simply swap to the wrist which you are feeding from next. A subtle and pretty reminder when your brain is mush ! Quite simply a Breastfeeding reminder bracelet.
The fab team at Mama Jewels can make up the bracelets in pretty much any colour combination and at just £13.95 you could buy more than one to complement your different outfits. Or those of the yummy mummy in your life!
Such a simple, stunning idea to keep a Mummy sane.
Thank you Mama Jewels!
I was sent one Pearl and Crystal Breastfeeding Reminder Bracelet for the purposes of this review.
