Baby proof jewellery for mums

November 20 2013 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

I’ve often wondered if jewellery designed to help teething babies is as good as it claims. It always looks too pretty to let little ones chew on it.

 

I was recently asked to review Gumigem jewellery and as my youngest is past that stage in life (although I have been tempted to buy some jewellery just because it looks so nice 🙂 ), I enlisted the help of two mums with little ones.

 

Here’s what they thought.

 

I was so excited to receive the parcel from Gumigem! Like a kid at Christmas, I opened the package to find delicious jewellery for my little one to munch on. My daughter Milan is 9 months old, teething and wanting to bite on everything! I love wearing statement necklaces but found her chewing on them all the time, so I was really keen to try these out as the are completely child friendly.

I got the ‘Skimmers’ necklace in Grapevine, it is a perfect purple shade. It goes with almost everything and my daughter loved playing with it while I would feed her. The grape coloured beads would occupy her tiny fingers and entertain her for almost as long as her milk feed. I would sometimes put it on her afterwards and she quite happily sat and played with it with the occasional bite.

The ‘Bermuda’ bangle in squash is perfect for summer! The colour just makes you happy. Its soft and stylish and great for adding colour to any outfit. We liked this one the most! I would wear it but when we were out and about and Milan would start to fuss, I could just take it off and it was the perfect size for her little hands to hold. It soothed her sore gums and kept her content.

These teething necklaces and bangles for mums are great and I would recommend them to everyone! They come in so many great colours and styles and are a great way to wear statement jewellery that your little ones will love!

I was quite sceptical of finding an item that would soothe my little girl’s gums as her first teeth were trying to break through and found little comfort for her in the traditional teething toys.

 

I made a conscious effort to always have either the Gumigem bangle or necklace on me at all times (which wasn’t hard to do, as they worked well with my wardrobe!) and found it to be such a relief for myself and my little girl when I could give her the bangle to hold and chew on while we were out and about. Knowing that it was washable also gave me peace of mind.

I found the necklace become a comforting tool when she was upset and she would place the beads in her mouth while having cuddles. Since trying Gumigem, my daughter now has 2 bottom teeth and more on the way.

 

Thanks Gumigem for making the teething process less painful for both of us!

A big THANK YOU to Jasmine, Milan, Melissa & Giulia – I’m glad you all loved the jewellery x

This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves together the stories of a Cypriot family across generations. 

Set against the backdrop of the Cyprus conflict, the book explores love, loss, and the enduring power of nature 🌳

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.

In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart.

Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus Carica growing in the back garden of their home.”

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“In 1901, the word ‘Bondmaid’ was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. This is the story of the girl who stole it. 

Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the ‘Scriptorium’, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word ‘bondmaid’ flutters to the floor. Esme rescues the slip and stashes it in an old wooden case that belongs to her friend, Lizzie, a young servant in the big house. Esme begins to collect other words from the Scriptorium that are misplaced, discarded or have been neglected by the dictionary men. They help her make sense of the world. 

Over time, Esme realises that some words are considered more important than others, and that words and meanings relating to women’s experiences often go unrecorded. While she dedicates her life to the Oxford English Dictionary, secretly, she begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words.”
