Babies & senses – How Nursing Necklaces help development
Babies learn through all their senses – and tiny hands love exploring textures. Here’s why nursing necklaces are both fun and developmental.
Fine motor skills
When babies grasp, twist, and manipulate beads, they train hand-eye coordination and small hand muscles.
Textures for comfort and focus
Wood, silicone, and various bead shapes offer tactile variety, calming babies while keeping them engaged.
Teething and gumming
Nursing necklaces give a safe place to keep them close, reducing wear on fingers, clothing and normal jewellery.
Tips for exploring the senses
- Mix different materials for varied textures.
- Let the baby explore while feeding or in a carrier.
- Always supervise for safety.
Sensory play doesn’t have to be complicated – a nursing necklace offers stimulation and comfort, and can be a lifesaver for parents in their everyday life.
