Gumigem Teething Necklace Review (Miller Heart Bubblegum) & GIVEAWAY

January 20, 2014 / 24 Comments

I love accessorizing, especially necklaces. some of you might remember that i posted a collection of my necklaces on instagram some time back. and yup, necklaces are a HUGE part of me… and then, there are the occasional bracelets and rings that i wear.

When motherhood descended on me when i first had Jerry, i stopped wearing necklaces for more than a year. I couldn’t stand the thought of the baby putting the costume jewellery into his mouth because i don’t even know if the materials were safe! A lot of my pieces are metal stuff and i am often freaked out when the baby mouthes them. And then, there was the yanking too so i stopped wearing necklaces altogether.

It really took a big part out of my lifestyle because i love wearing necklaces and somehow, it always felt as if something is missing without them.

and then, guess what?! After i had Jerome, I recently discovered there are teething jewellery available that are safe for babies chew and mummy to wear! BEST INVENTION EVER. Brilliant idea totally, fashion and motherhood can now co-exist!

Bubblegum - Gumigem Teething Necklace that's safe for babies.

The kind folks from MamaLavie sent me one for me review and im totally delighted at trying it! Here are some highlights of the product:

The Gumigem necklaces/pendants..

  • are made from non-toxic silicone and is BPA free.
  • help your baby manage teething – biting down helps relieve pressure and pain
  • entertain your baby’s little hands when breastfeeding
  • specially designed so that mums (or dads!) can wear them safely through baby’s grabbing phase.

When Jerome was 7 months old, he was happily chomping away on the pendant each time i wear it when we head out. It’s quite a niffy tool – it keeps the baby occupied with something and naturally, they are more settled and less cranky. Me love!

I like that most of the pendants colors are bright, making it very much a fashion statement (lifts dull clothes to a colorful state) and at the same time, attracts the attention of the baby, who would definitely, grab at it.  One necklace – dual purposes.

Interestingly, the necklace is definitely a good investment. at 7 months, Jerome chomps at it non stop, and now, at 11 months.. he is still going at it.

The necklace is also super easy to maintain. With all that chomping, surely one would be freaked out by the cleanliness or the germs/bacteria that could possibly be on it? Simply give the pendant a light wash with soap and warm water and its as good as new. If you aren’t confident enough and wants it to be entirely clean and safe, you can also pop it into the dishwasher or the sterilizer! how cool is that?

Another plus point of the necklace is that it has a ‘breakaway’ clasp. The clasp break open when baby tugs really hard at it so your neck wont be hurt at all! The necklace breaks free and you wont be lunged forward by the baby tug. The product is pretty well-thought out and made for the user in mind, though i would prefer a thicker string on the necklace. There are times where i feel the string does cut a little into my skin before the breakaway clasp works so i guess it still can be improved. That said, i’m still very much impressed at the niffy necklace because there is so much good about it.

Was so eyeing the Zebula Miller Heart the other time (it totally rocks up my alley) but unfortunately was out of stock so i got the bubblegum instead. I think it makes a great gift for mothers-to-be or mothers having a new baby.

Now, here’s the exciting part! Because you guys are so sporting to read all the way to the end of this (quite) long entry, here’s a chance for you to win one! In fact, I have 4 items to give away to 4 winners in total!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
