These are really lovely rickman. Glad you posted about them - am still feeding DS3 (he's nearly seven months old now) so I can justify treating myself. And it would be nice not to have my hair pulled!

ooh these are gorgeous - I'm going to order the "summer" one. Thanks for the link rickman!

Wish I could have had one of these when I was feeding dd2!! These necklaces reminded me that she 'necked' me constantly, not only while bfing but for years after, whenever she sat on my lap, pulling the skin and twisting it - ouch!!

I like the 'summer' one too, bonym. Can't decide whether to order one or not though (did ds2 play with yours Casmie?)

oh i want one

Casmie · 22/02/2005 21:18

ds2 ADORES it... in fact he threw a strop when feeding time was over and I tried to tuck it away again

He does tend to tug quite hard on it - I'm not too worried about the necklace as it feels pretty well constructed - more worried about my poor neck Still, makes a change from hair pulling, glasses grabbing etc...

hewlettsdaughter · 24/02/2005 22:36

Thanks for the feedback rickman and Casmie. Still dithering here...

I am the world's worst shopper. Never buy what I see first.

mmmmchocolate · 24/02/2005 22:38

oh what a great idea, i'm not breast feeding but dd pulls at my face and has to hold and fiddle with something whilst feeding.. I want one!!!

Not sure I'd want one that could be used as an "I-Spy toy" when I've finished bfeeding though

It's not very nice at all, is it?! I'd love one of the more beautiful ones though - they're lovely! Can't justify it at the moment though and I think DS might use it to slice my head off he'd pull on it so hard...

GeorginaA · 25/02/2005 08:42

Update: I have found that I don't wear it all the time. If he's fairly settled when feeding then the necklace just distracts him and he ends up tugging quite hard. But if he's already distracted then it's ace because it means I don't constantly have to turn my face to stop pinching, poking and pulling.

So, by default I don't wear it all the time, but do keep it nearby for the more fidgety feeds

Oh

just been reminded about this....i have one and ds2 loves it..it perfectly fits his little hand

FrostyTheRickman · 04/12/2005 22:34

Just thought I'd resurrect this as my necklace has broken. Ds is now spending his whole time rummaging down my top looking for it. I can't decide which one to go for, my last one was the emerald sparkle but I think I should have something different this time, although I do like green.

Please help me decide

Redtartanlass · 04/12/2005 23:25

Mmm, they're all very nice, but think I agree with you and go with the green

misdee · 04/12/2005 23:27

i quite like the saffire ocean. i have the amber one, or one very similar. check ebay

Harktheheraldcabewillsing · 04/12/2005 23:43

Oh thanks for drawing my attention to these Rickman - I didn't know they existed and I've stopped wearing my neclaces because of them being dangerous for ds...

I love the Butterfly at dusk one

will have to see if I can persuade DP to buy one for me.
