Guest Blog Post: Sarah Leplae Shares What is ‘Teething Jewelry’?

Teething jewelry for mom; we’ve heard about it (well most of us new moms anyway) but what is it?

If you don’t know, I don’t blame you. In fact, one of my girlfriends (and fellow mommy) asked me if it was jewelry moms could wear and could chew on when stressed! I had to laugh and, although I could see a market for this type of product, teething jewelry for mom is for moms to wear and babies to teeth on.

And in this lies the beauty of teething jewelry. Moms can wear jewelry that is safe for babies to gum, grasp and chew. And because babies loves to chew and pull on your jewelry (next to your hair of course) it’s a great idea! No more worrying about toxic materials or small pieces coming off in your baby’s mouth or your baby breaking your best gems.

That said, there are some products of this nature on the market which may not be tested for safety and that may not look…er, stylish (think teether hanging on a string).

Chic Mammas baby safe teething jewelry is the perfect blend of safety and style.

All their teething jewelry undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it is safe for babies. It is made of the same material as bottle nipples and teethers (food grade silicone), is non toxic and is free of harmful chemicals including BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Lead and Cadmium. Also, food grade silicone is non porous so it does not harbour bacteria (like wood or cloth covered teething jewelry) and it is soft on babies gums yet firm enough for their teeth. Another feature is their teething necklaces feature a breakaway clasp for added safety. And the best part; its dishwasher safe (say what?!?).

Although Chic Mammas main focus is safety, they have still managed to keep fashion at the forefront of all their designs. Their teething jewelry comes in a multitude of styles and colours that range from dressy to casual, understated to bold, trendy to classy, and so on. Moms can choose which style suits them best.

Also, their teething necklaces make a great sensory tool for baby to focus on while nursing and their teething bracelets serve as a colourful reminder of the last side baby was nursed.

Bottom line…if you are a mom with a little one, teething jewelry is great (just make sure it meets all applicable safety requirements). Your baby can happily play, grab and chew on your jewelry all they want and you can let them, worry free! It is the perfect melding of fashion and function (who would have thought?!?)

So all you Chic Mammas…this one's for you! Customers will receive a FREE teether bracelet when you spend $40+ -valid from now until Feb 14 at www.chicmammas.com!

Stylish for mom, yet completely functional for baby to teethe and play? Sounds like a win - win to me! The Momma’s Jewels Personalized 1 Ring Sterling Silver Teething Necklace is beautifully handcrafted to make any new mom look good on the outside, which makes her feel even better on the inside!

Say happy heart day to mom with a soft blanket for her and baby to cuddle with.

New Year’s resolution time is in full swing and Valentine’s Day is a great time to show support in moms mission to stay healthy and fit. This non-slip headband is my favorite way to keep hair out of my face during a jog or even to wear while cleaning, running errands, or really anywhere!

Moms need reminders sometimes that they are appreciated and loved. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for a comfy pillow, with a positive message!

Lay-n-Go® COSMO is any organized mom (or any women’s!) dream come true! I know I have tons of toiletries and a lot of make-up I use on any given day. This cosmetic bag converts into an easily transportable handled clutch, perfect to contain everything you need in a clean, dry spot! I also love that there is a pocket on the inside for storing away extra items including personal products.

Moms love to try new beauty and bath products and Ollie’s super sudsy hand soap will keep everyone in the family’s hands clean, using only the best natural & organic ingredients.

A silky pashmina is the perfect accessory to jazz up sometimes boring maternity clothes or for new moms to use to warm themselves up this winter.

Busy moms will love this adjustable, stylish diaper band, that keeps loose items neatly bundled.

Add some sparkle to any mom or mom-to-be’s day with crystal stud earrings. They go with any outfit and are sure to make her smile.

What I love about the Benbini watch is that it is fashionable yet also functional. It is the only patented dual bezel watch on the market today that allows the ability for moms to track baby’s schedules including feedings and sleep routines.
