BabyBling0044 When I have a new baby around, like many, I tend to focus more on the baby than on myself and my appearance is well… lacking in polish. I run out the door to drop one kid off at preschool while I rush off to the grocery store to get shopping done before I have to pick him up again, then rush home to shower, squeeze in some work while the baby naps (if you call 20 minutes a nap… sheesh) and then supervise the kids until dinner time relief. Did you see any time in that schedule for primping? Yeah, me either. I’m lucky if I slap on some mascara and lip balm. During this time of m life I rely on smoke and mirrors to appear I have my ish together so I’m always on the lookout for things that can add to my personal style without requiring time.

I heard of Teething Bling a while ago, before I was even pregnant with my second son, and I knew I wanted to get one. They look like a super stylish piece of jewelry… and well , they are. The disc on their fabulous pendants are about 2 inches wide so they make a proper statement. But the beauty of it is that they’re made of food-safe, phthalate-free, federally-approved silicone so they double as a safe teether for baby.

I wasn’t sure how effective they’d be but for he price I knew I’d give it a try. I am so glad I bought one because baby loves it, he always has something to chew on and I am never without something to give him. He’s yet to get his first tooth so he’s constantly jamming everything in his mouth. I’ve gotten several compliments on my bling and a few moms have said “what a great idea!”. And it is!

Ive taken to wearing it everyday to boost my appearance, while having a handy teether around. No digging in the diaper bag, no searching the house for something, its just there ready for baby. I bought a round donut pendant in a pretty turqoise (called Jade), but I have my eye on the Mother of Pearl too. They come on a black cord with a breakaway safety clasp. I know what will be in my stocking this year… Teething Bling!

Get It: I bought my bling at my favorite spot The Soft Landing!

Cool…seems like it would also double as a good toy at ‘boob level’ if the baby is nursing as well.

I have enjoyed using Teething Bling too. I reviewed them on my blog last year. Just to share, they have some really neat patterns and colors. http://www.askmissmommy.com/search/label/Teething%20Bling

That is neat!

It does! It hangs to about “boob” level so it works for that too…

Too cute!

What an incredible idea! I never wear necklaces because my 4 month old son likes to slob them, so this would be fantastic!

I’ve never gotten how federally approved silicone is bad in breast implants (even as a solid) but fine for soothers?

What’s the difference?

OK, I got some Teething Bling for Christmas and I must say that my 4 month old loves it! I on the other hand, am not as enthusiastic over the “clasp” on the necklace. It is supposed to be a “break-away” clasp and I actually have “cord burns” on my neck right now. My son has yanked very hard on the necklace and the plastic “clasp” never came apart. Overall, I feel the products are fantastic and I will be buying more in different colors!

Tamara – I would contact the company and let them know. My almost 6 month old yanks on it all the time and it does break away as it should… no cord burns. Perhaps your clasp is a little misshapen?
