Pretty quickly, new moms realize that if they’re spending the day with baby, they’re not wearing much jewelry, because the babe wants to put all of it in his mouth. Enter Smart Mom Jewelry and its genius “Teething Bling Doubles.” This double strand of silicone beads works as a necklace for mom and a teether for baby. Each bead is crafted from non-toxic, phthalate-, BPA-, PVC-, latex-, and lead-free silicon and it’s fastened with a breakaway clasp. (The necklace is for adult use and must be worn by an adult while the baby tries out his chompers.) It’s available in five color combinations: black and gray; red and yellow; blue and white; green and honey; and purple and light blue. The doubles are easy to clean and have a soft, smooth texture. Mom may still be in that drool-covered tee, but now she’ll also have the illusion of jewelry to serve as a comforting reminder of her old, polished self. And what could be a more priceless gift for a baby shower or the holidays than self-esteem?
