Hey,
I just got one of these for DD, it arrived today.
She won't leave it alone just now. Pulling it, chewing it etc.
Will the novelty wear off? or have I just been too late in getting it for her? All of the babies I know who wear them don't touch them at all but they all had them from a really young age.
I'm worried she'll hurt herself with it.
Thanks

DD got her's at 8mths when she started teething but she never really played with it or anything....give it a bit of time and try and distract her when she does it. I don't think you've left it too late at all. :D
Yeah, just distract her for a while and she'll get over it :)
I got lukes on wednesday he is 14mths he pulled on it when I first put it on and tried it a few times but I just said no and removed his hand 2 days later he doesn't touch it
Yeah I agree with the others. She'll soon forget its there :)
DD doesn't even realise it's there now because it's body temperature. She has played with it in the past but I just distracted her and she got over it pretty quick. I out her's on at 9 months so later too. Even the kids at playgroup don't notice it on her now because she's always had it on
HTH
Cool!! Thanks everyone. She's had it on for over an hour now and isn't bothered by it! haha, I'm too quick to worry about stuff!
*steps away from BB* :ROFL:
DD didn't get hers until 9 or 10 months, I don't think she played with it at all..have caught her a few times pulling on it and just say please don't pull on your necklace.
Won't take her long to forget it's even there.
What about when they are asleep? Aren't you worried that it gets caught up on something?
*worries*
I'm not worried when she's asleep, as it's normally tucked inside her onesie, but even if it wasn't it has never been a worry for me. I cannot see anything in her cot that it could get caught on, and we use sleeping bags with nothing else in the cot.
You could try wrapping it around her ankle a couple of times if you'd feel better about it?
Nuh. But I'm pretty relaxed when it comes to worrying about stuff like that.. LOL:
What colour did you get?
If you got a good brand hun with the safety clasp they are designed to break under pressure so they can't choke on them and also it should be knotted between each bead so if it does break only bead will come off.....it's like a watch or earrings...once you have had them on for a while our skin receptors become desensitised to it and youn literally can't feel it anymore. I am glad the novelty has worn off for her and all seems good now....
Hehe, welcome to the club ;)
when Isaac was younger I used to put around his ankle and put a sock over it. He's just started wearing it round his neck at 18 months and is fine :)
Like human bean, when DD has her night sleep it is wrapped around her ankle. you can get teething anklets/bracelets, so when her ankle is too big for it to fit wrapped around twice will get one of those for her to use at night instead.
During the day it stays around her neck. I was a bit worried about it at first, but now that she and I are used to it I'm fine with it.
Don't they just look so cute with them on!
I got the honey light one. It's gorgeous, she really suits it :)
Cool, well she is asleep now so will keep an eye on it and maybe do the ankle thing from tomorrow.
Thanks guys.

i took ds's off a little while ago because he was getting a weird rash on his face and the chemist suggested taking it off to see if that was causing it (it wasn't)
anyway... i put it back on a couple of weeks ago and he was fascinated, but he got over it pretty quick and hasn't bothered with it since.
the novelty should wear off soon!
