This week, in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, we've asked our contributors to share their favorite nursing picks.
There's a stage of breastfeeding for which none of the books really prepare you: the one where the baby nurses while simultaneously doing, oh, everything else. For my kids, that meant trying to breastfeed while sticking fingers in my nose and doing handstands.
The only thing that distracted them enough to circumvent the acrobatics and get down to the business of eating: when I wore eye-catching, nice-feeling jewelry. These super-chic Chewbeads are ideal for getting babes' attention--and they're silicone and BPA/PVC/phthalate-free, so they're way safer for babies to twiddle (and eventually chew!) than that old metal necklace from your jewelry box. - Lexi
