Need to calm a fussy baby ASAP?  Here’s what you need: a baby-friendly necklace.  A necklace is the ultimate master of distraction and provider of baby comfort, offering endless hours of quiet play and visual and tactile stimulation. 

Nursing and teething necklaces are the latest in Mommy essentials.  The concept of baby-attention grabbing necklaces is far from new, but today’s designs are totally cool–and even baby-safe.  Whether you need keep your squirmy little one focused during nursing sessions or keep her occupied during quiet times (e.g., church), a necklace is the perfect solution.  Think of a necklace as a gift for two–although remember these necklaces really are intended for adults, but designed to withstand kid play.  Also, if you’re looking for a baby shower gift, think of a necklace as the ultra-cool gift.
