its really pretty and i had dd's name and date of birth put on them. and bells and butterflies
has anyone else got one? did your dc play with the necklace when fed? i thought it would be lovely to keep anyhow!
and i havent had a prob knowing which boob to feed next, but lately, as they are not feeling so full it can be hard to tell sometimes, so i got a bracelet. i'm well happy with it!

Honest answer coming up, brace yourself!!

I have them. They are lovely, really pretty and sweet. The bracelet was much too tight at first but wear it a few times and it loosens, so don't give up! I don't use mine as I have gone back to my original method of 'which boob feels heavier when lightly fondled' but I keep it anyway, my other child likes to wear it!

The necklace is lovely, but there was a problem for me in that when I have fed Ds, I tend to hold him against my shoulder to wind him, and the necklace was so big and chunky that it made this quite uncomfortable for us both - I had to put it over my shoulder so it hung down my back. It didn't matter of course, this solved the problem mostly

Baby is now 6 months and loves to hold, chew, mess about wtith the necklace - I'm not sure if this is allowed but it is very strong and I don't think he could break it.

Enjoy, let us know how you get on with yours!

I got these from ebay too - they're gorgeous aren't they and dd liked the bracelet when she was a bit older. Never did very well with the bracelet method - memory so shot to pieces with sleep deprivation I would think "now is that the side I just fed from or the side I'm supposed to feed from next..."
