Nursing Necklaces & Dummy Holders 👩🍼

What are nursing necklaces for?

Nursing necklaces (also called breastfeeding, mommy or teething necklaces) are sensory accessories worn by moms. They help keep your baby focused while nursing, breastfeeding or babywearing. They keep the baby focused and prevent hair-pulling — all while keeping you stylish.

Why use a nursing necklace?

It gives your baby something safe to look at, touch, and explore — keeping curious little fingers away from your hair, face or top, while strengthening sensory focus and bonding.

Benefits of nursing necklaces:

Keeps baby focused during nursing or bottle-feeding 🍼
Helps prevent scratching, pinching, and hair-pulling 🙈
Stimulates baby’s fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination ✋
Gives a calming sensory anchor during babywearing 🤱
Let's you keep your sense of style as a new mom (or dad!) 💁♀️

When can I start using a nursing necklace?

Most parents start using a nursing necklace from around 3–4 months, when babies become more alert and easily distracted during feeding.
You can also use it earlier while babywearing, or later as teething starts when your baby starts exploring textures.

How does a nursing necklace support baby development?

Nursing necklaces stimulate your baby’s sense of touch and focus. They encourage fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early sensory exploration — all while strengthening the bond between baby and parent.

How do I choose the right nursing necklace?

Choose a necklace that is:

Made from non-toxic, BPA-free materials like food-grade silicone and untreated natural wood.
Strung on a strong, breakaway cord for safety.
Easy to clean — ideally wipeable or washable.
Designed for comfort and durability.

Absolutely! Nursing necklaces are just as useful for dads who babywear or bottle-feed. It helps calm and engage your little one — plus, it looks great.

We have created some shorter fiddle necklaces for when the baby is in a wrap or babybjörn. Also in daddy-friendly colors 😉

madebyHazel necklaces are made with food-grade silicone and natural wood. However, they should only be worn by adults, not used as a toy or unsupervised.

Are nursing necklaces safe for teething babies?

Nursing necklaces are designed for supervised interaction. They’re not toys or teething rings, but are safe for curious hands to explore during feeding or babywearing.

For teething, we recommend a dedicated teether or silicone toy.
