Teethease

THE WHAT:  Teethease

THE WHY:  a Canadian line of jewellery for parents that’s also safe for babies to teethe on

THE SAFETY: Also, the collection is dishwasher-safe and simple to clean with soap and water. The line is BPA- and PVC-free, and contains no phthalates, heavy metals or latex and the smooth surfaces are made from hypoallergenic, medical-grade, FDA-approved silicone

THE REVIEW:  The jade-looking Teethease Pendant Necklace came right before a trip en famille to California (read my Disney Tips).   I put the necklace on for the plane ride as a piece of regular ol’ jewlery.

A few hours into our plane ride (with baby on lap whole time), I unzipped my outer sweater layer and an amazing thing happened.  Dear Son immediately grabbed the Teethease and started chewing on it.  Really. 

I guess most kids try a chew on a necklace now and again – but it was cool that this specific necklace was made for him via my wearing it.  I liked that it had the break away clasp (meaning if he tugged too hard it would break away and not rip my neck).  I also found, after his repeated chewing – that it didn’t mark (a bonus because who wants to wear jewlery with teeth marks?).

I not only wore the Teethease pendant – I dangled it in front of him for eye tracking stimulation during a long car ride – I played a light tug of war for motor skill development as we sat on that plane and I gave it to him (under supervision) to play with on his own.  It is certainly multi-purpose.

And you know what – beyond his teething years – I would wear this as jewlery.  Lightweight and pretty it will make a nice baby memory piece to wear.

And my fav.  It is a Canadian company.
