Smart Mom Teething Jewelry
About their company:
Smart Mom Jewelry was launched by two stay at home moms, Kendra and Amy, in 2002. Motivated by the idea of "teethable jewelry" they started Smart Mom and it grew to produce teething necklaces, bangles and even baby-friendly ties for dads! One aspect about this company that is truely rare is that it is entirely staffed by moms. The company is one of the few places that is considered 'family-friendly', they allow their team members to work around their families schedules, even if that means bringing their babies to work. If you were to call them you may hear a baby in the background!
I think it's nice that if I was to have an issue or question, the person to answer the phone would be a mother like me. They would probably understand my concerns better than an outsourced call center like other companies use.
Hurley's Experience:
As a mother to a 10 month old teething daughter, it was a relief when my samples of Teething Bling arrived. I noticed I that I was only actually wearing the bangles for a few minutes before my daughter A. was gnawing on them. A. loved them from the beginning. She actually likes to drag the bangles and necklaces around the house with her. Make sure to supervise your babies with the teething jewelry. They come made with a break away clasp, but of course, you can never be too careful.
When I was researching the Teething Bling before they arrived, I was actually under the assumption the pendant and bangles would have a different texture. I suppose I imagined they would be more of a hard plastic. I was concerned that the bangles may be difficult to get on and off if I couldn't manipulate the plastic around my hand. Upon opening the package I was pleasantly surprised. The bangles are easily manipulative. and yet strong.
Annaliese, like many older babies, has a couple teeth that are sharp as knives. The pendant and bangles have held up to her abuse. I still can not find a single tooth mark on either. I'm glad I can expect them to last a while. Not only are they practical for my baby to chew and pull on, but they are fashionable too! I wear mine with everything!
Nikki's Experience:
Soon after Hurley received her Teething Bling she began telling me how much she LOVED it! She was kind enough to send me some of hers to let Lilliana use. Lilliana is 4 months old and constantly chewing on her hands, clothes, blankets, Everything! I was excited to try Teething Bling with "L", she too figured out the Bangle immediately. I like to keep it on me especially when I am out and about, if she gets sick of her car seat, or her pacifier I give her the Bangle it always seems to pacify her for a while longer. She isn't a pro at holding on to things yet but she has an easier time with the bangle than the Pendant Necklace. She Likes both though. In fact she is chewing on the necklace right now while I type with one hand :). I know that Teething Bling will be my "must have" once Lilliana gets closer to and starts cutting teeth. As much as she chews on things now I'm sure we will have an interesting teething experience.
