hi

i would like a breastfeeding bracelet for my sister-in-law, one which allows you to mark what time you last fed the baby. Does anyone here make them/sell them?

thanks

I haven't made one before, but I could. I make jewellery - a few examples are here.
What sort of price do you want to pay - I have seen some nice charms, some sterling silver, some silver plated. Let me know if you are interested.

i guess not much more than £15 inc p n p. The one i have seen from the states has the numbers 1 -12 with 4 beads inbetween and a movable charm.

Hi,
I'm struggling to source number beads that would look nice! Have you seen this website they seem to be the cheapest for what you are looking for. Sorry I couldn't help.

dunno about the timing ones you're talking about - though suspect most BF types would say try not to worry about timings of feeds, rather try and respond to the baby's signals of hunger! seems like a reasonable idea though if you're trying to work out whether they have gone into a pattern or not - but I know the NCT sell a feeding bangle for a pound which is intended to be swapped over wrists depending on what side you last fed on/will next feed on. For me (I haven't got one yet) that is the main issue while sleep deprived since I forget and then end up really full on one side...

nin - thanks, the one i found the numbers looked a bit naff, which is why i thought i'd try here!

she's been told to not let my niece go more than 3 hours between feeds, so thought it would be a nice christmas present
