Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

Hi there,
Just wanted to share this. I have no affiliation with this seller at all except that I bought some necklaces and am thrilled with them. Kangaroo Care She is based in Estonia I believe but my necklaces arrived in about ten days. I bought two for myself and one for a gift and I love them. DS3 does too and loves playing with them while he's feeding.

I got mine on Thursday, and looooove it! They are awesome hey! Took me forever to decide which one to get (ended up getting a rainbow one).
Unfortunately mine took about 6wks to arrive, it must have got lost in the post on the way here. I messaged the seller a week before it arrived, that I hadn't received it, so she sent me a replacement straight away. Though as soon as the first one arrived I let her know and paid for the 2nd, which I'm keeping as a gift. I'm tempted to buy another one, but no idea which one to get. |

Just mentioning that the juniper ones do have a smell. Its quite nice but if you have a sensitive nose you may want to choose an applewood one.
I want another one too.

Yeah they do have a scent, mine smells a bit like cedar pine. I didn't even realise there were different woods.
What colours did you get Kay1? |

If I may ask, what's a breastfeeding necklace? What do they do?

I find it helps keep baby distracted while feeding. Rather than having fingers plunged up your nose, or in your mouth etc, they can play with your necklace. It's also suitable for baby's mouth, so they can have a chew on it too (especially while teething).

Argh! I knew I shouldn't have come in to read this... I have no self control, I just bought two!
 I have two different teething/feeding necklaces already, but because of their texture if I wear them they stick to my hair and pull it out..... so they don't count
