Our
moms and dads loved the stylish designs and comments such as "so
stylish", "gorgeous color" and "timeless"
were heard frequently. The snazzy designs drew an equally positive response:
"vivid and bright", "fun color", "what
cute beads", "look at the wonderful variety of
shapes, colors, and textures". Our test panel reported
that their babies were "instantly attracted to the
necklaces", which were securely worn around the adult's
neck. The
babies started exploring the beads with their little hands
and were very interested in the designs, colors, shapes
and textures of the beads. We at Success
Through Play™ are incredibly impressed...

"Nursing
necklaces aren't just for "Mommy & Me."
They're also for nanas. Determined to create a close bond
with my little grandson, I have been wearing my colorful
beads from the very beginning. When he sees me, he reaches
right for them. If the "Nana
beads" are ever not there for a moment, he looks
around and laughs as soon as he sees them -- and
me. I believe the necklace helped him to learn
to recognize me extra early, and "beads" seems
to be one of the first words he recognizes, second only
after "kittycat." So far I've ordered several
nursing necklaces -- for me, my two daughters (his mommy
& auntie), and other first-time grandmothers."

"We
are enjoying the nursing necklace and I wear it every
day. Maya loves to play with it when she's in the sling
and sitting in her car seat. She grabs it and plays with
it and sometimes she reaches out and gives a sad cry when
I put it off. I feel so better now that I have a safe
necklace with me wherever I go. The nursing necklace shows
not a single sign of being used, though my daughter is
tugging at it often. To make a long story short: thank
you, you do a great job!"
Stephanie and Maya, Germany
"I
am so happy with my purchase! The necklace is so beautiful
and colorful. Phoenix (7 months today!) just loves to
wrap his little hands around it while he's nursing. It
keeps him focused and saves me from getting pinched! What
makes this necklace even more special is that it's personalized
with his name. Now I need to order one for my older son,
Hunter (3 yrs) who wants his own with his name! Thank
you so much for make such a quality
piece. I'm not sure how I managed to nurse Hunter for
16 months without this!"
Tara, mom to Hunter and Phoenix
"I
absolutely love my necklace! My daughter was a big pincher
and would not nurse with Daddy in the room. Now with her
nursing necklace she stays focused and I haven't been
pinched since it arrived! Thank you so much!"
Crystal
and Alyse (@10 mo.), IN
"Thank
you so much for the Mommy & Me Necklace! It is so
beautiful and colorful. My 8 month old daughter loves
it! Usually while nursing, she likes to tug on my hair
or scratch my face with excitement, but now she gazes
at the colorful nursing necklace and holds it tight while
contently nursing away. This product has benefited my
family in so many ways. Your company is awesome! Thanks
again!"
Katie and Aubriana Lynn, FL
"Lilia’s
Mommy & Me Necklace is beautiful! She loves to look
at the nursing necklace beads, and it seems to keep her
more focused while nursing. She’s just at that age where
it’s easy to get distracted and stop nursing before she’s
full, so this was the perfect solution. My 2 ½
year old son can’t stop playing with it, either, since
the beads are so neat and engaging. The beads are gorgeous
– much more detailed and prettier in person. I will definitely
keep these in mind for future shower gifts – and for each
of my own future babies."
Erika and Lilia, WA
"Mommy
& Me Necklaces are the best. I have had mine for a
few weeks now and I don't know how I ever survived nursing
my curious six month old with out mine. When we go out
I take it with so we have complete focus on the job at
hand. Daddy even gets in on the action, he feels it keeps
her entertained so he can give her a bottle. The necklaces
are so well made and beautiful the beads are colorful
and each one has a different texture and shape it keeps
little fingers busy."
Aimee and Sidney (@6 mo.), AZ
"I
ordered two necklaces for my son when he was one month
old. He loves to look at the black, white and red one
while eating or playing. The necklaces are wonderful,
beautiful and functional - every nursing mother should
have several! The customer service provided is exceptional.
This has been by far the best on-line experience I've
had, kudos to you!!! Thanks for the super products and
support!

"Thank you so much for the great necklace. Cheyanne
absolutely loves it. Her eyes lit up when she saw it.
I will definitely recommend this to everyone and will
remember it for the next baby shower I attend. It will
be a great keepsake. I wish I had done this with my other
four kids. I look forward to working with you again."
Amanda and Cheyanne, WA
"We
just wanted to thank you so much for the necklace you
made for our little boy. It is absolutely beautiful
and it has quickly become one of his favourite playthings.
Here is a picture of Michael making sure that the necklace
doesn't somehow make a getaway during his nap! Again,
thank you so much for such a lovely item that is exactly
what we had been looking for!

Catharine and Michael, Canada
"I
just wanted to tell you how wonderful the nursing necklaces
are! I bought one last year for my friend as PART of
a nursing basket, or so I thought! The necklace ended
up taking front stage in my basket! Lora loved the necklace
because it helped keep Ayla's attention and helped her
nurse longer. I am buying one for my sister-in-law now
as part of a nursing basket for her too! She can't wait
to get the basket with the necklace that she has heard
so much about! I have noticed a lot of other places
popping up since last year selling these kind of necklaces
for WAY more and lacking the quality of your necklaces.
I appreciate the great prices! Thanks again!"

"Thank
you so much for creating such a great product. As soon
as I opened the package, my son started getting excited.
We sat down to nurse, and it was amazing....he was totally
focused on the necklace not pinching, hitting, or pulling
my hair. I usually have a lot of problems getting him
to sleep, even though he always nurses to sleep, but
last night he fell asleep with the necklace clenched
in his fists...it was soooo cute!! :) It was the fastest
I have ever got him to sleep. As for the busy baby baubles,
it is also a hit. I used it yesterday to change his
diaper and after his bath.....kept his attention and
made him forget to squirm. So, once again, thank you
so much for creating such a neat necklace and baby baubled
for my son. They were both were every penny!! I will
be making this my regular gift for expectant friends
who plan on nursing."

"Thanks so much for everything. We love the new
nursing necklace! Your handiworks are Tommy's favorite
toys. When we go out to dinner, we clip one to the handle
of the carseat and he focuses on it, rather than the fact
that he doesn't have our undivided attention. My pediatrician
really liked the new necklace."
Jenn and Baby Tommy, TX
"My
daughter adores the necklace! She's never nursed so
long ... maybe now she won't want to nurse so much at
night. Thank you also for the personalization - it is
the perfect necklace for our daughter!
Andrea and Lena, CA
"THANK
YOU so much! I LOVE it! And most importantly, so does
Ella. :) She's been pulling my hair and my clothing
a lot lately, so this has been wonderful. It is also
made so well, and stood up to the toddler test from
my son. The clasp is just perfect. Thanks again for
your awesome customer service and your great product.
I'll be sure to tell my friends about your necklaces!!"
Jen
and Ella
"I typed "baby necklaces" in google
and eventually found your site. I never knew there was
such a thing as a "nursing necklace". Ava also
loves to twiddle and play while nursing so this simple
necklace has been so helpful to us. I've spread the word
about your necklaces and hope that you will receive other
orders from Rochester NY!
Toni
and Ava, NY
"I
got the necklaces and they are really cute! My three
year old LOVES my nursing necklace and often runs off
with it (I'm saving her toddler necklace for Christmas).
I really like that your necklaces are kid oriented instead
of "real" jewelry. Thanks!"
Brooke and Elijah
"I love my nursing necklaces! They are well made
and thought out. I got my first one when my son was four
months old, and he truly loves both of the ones that I now
have. It makes nursing peaceful when he has something to
fidgit with besides mommy! Great product and outstanding
vendor!!"

"I received my necklace and have used it every time
nursing Caiden and I LOVE IT! And so does he. What a life
saver, actually a hair saver I should say! LOL! He plays
with it while he's feeding instead of my hair, shirt neck
and everything else. He also like to shake it around while
we're just hangin' out on the floor. I am so excited he
likes it as much as he does."
Kim
and Caiden, NY
"Sawyer
and I love our necklace and show it off to everyone. My
husband keeps reminding me that it's not supposed to be
worn all the time!! Hopefully I've sent some business
your way. Thanks again."
Julia
and Sawyer, FL
"Rebecca
is nine months old so she is a bit older than the new
babies. She really liked the necklace. I put it on while
nursing & she grabbed it & fell asleep with it
in her hand. She likes to stare at it and tries to rip
it off my neck every time. Thanks for making them for
me. They're very pretty too! I wish I had one three years
ago! or at least nine months ago! I'll probably be back
for more once I get pregnant again. These are one of those
"nursing neccessities"!
Katie & Rebecca (@ 9 mo.), FL
"Thank
you soooo much for the necklace and bracelet. I have five
kids and my youngest is six months old and this is the
first time I have had nursing necklace and I love it.
I wish I had it with my other children. I will definitely
recommend you to all my friends who are either expecting
or have a baby."
Tami
and Colin (@ 6 mo.), UT
"I
was the winner for May 2005 and originally intended to
give the necklace as a gift to a friend with a new preemie.
When I got the package and unwrapped it for a closer look
my three year old nursling went nuts over it. She wanted
to see it and play with it. When I explained to her what
it was, she wanted to nurse with it right away. Now she
won't nurse without it! What a great product. The beads
are large and easy for her to grasp and play with. We
love it!"
Carrie,

"Thank
you so much for the fabulous necklaces. They are very
special and I love the one with Sam's name on it. He likes
it so much we had to take it to the supermarket and it
kept him very busy! Thank you again."
Emma
and Sam, London, England
"My
necklace has been a real life saver, or at least booby
saver! Quin will twiddle it rather than pinching Mom.
Thank you very much for the beautiful necklace!"
Jennifer
and Quin (@ 6 months), AL
"We
received the necklace and we love it. It really does work!
I also let Noelle play with it in church to help keep
her quiet and busy. I will definitely spread the word
and keep your necklaces in mind as baby shower gifts.
Thank you so much!"
Dana
and Noelle (April 2005 Contest
Winner)
"I absolutely LOVE the necklace! Noah was reaching
for it as soon as I took it out of the package. It has made
all of the difference with his feeding. Before he would
BF for 2 minutes (at most) per side --- now with the necklace
he BF's for at least 5 minutes on the first side and 2-3
the second side. The best part is - it has actually helped
solve some of Noah's night waking! He was getting up 2-3x
per night and now only once!"
Michelle
and Noah, CA
"I
love my necklace and so does my daughter. She constantly
needs something to twiddle while she drinks her bottle
or falls asleep. I use it for both. My neck is getting
pinched a whole lot less and she loves the textures making
both of us very happy. Thanks!"
Lisa
and Arianna, VA
"I
was the winner of the necklace
giveaway contest for October '05. I was so thrilled
to win and my son and I like the necklace a lot. I love
the fact that it has his name on it too. Thanks for making
such a neat product that every Mom and child can benefit
from!"
Kristin and Camden, TX
"I just wanted to say thank you for making a great
nursing necklace for Eunice. I thought she might be a little
young for it right now (3 1/2 months), but actually she
seems to really like it and plays with it when I'm wearing
it. She smiles when she sees it. Thanks for your help!"
Susie and Eunice, CA
"I used this necklace with my first daughter and
she loved it. So I bought some more for her and some for
friends. Then on my second I'd forgotten about it until
she started to become so easily distracted. It's awesome
and although there are other varieties out there, we like
yours the best!"
Marleni and Bree-Ana (second time around) & Clara J (first time user of the necklace)
"I received the BEAUTIFUL nursing necklace a few
days ago! The photos on the website are cute, but I don't
think pictures do it justice...the necklace is soooooo nice!
You did an awesome job and it really looks VERY high quality.
No more scratching from Timothy while nursing...such a relief!
He loves holding onto the beads and staring at all the colors.
Thanks so much for such a wonderful product that will also
be a beautiful personalized keepsake for years to come!
We love it!"
Tricia and Timothy (8 months), CA
"I
wanted to thank you for my lovely nursing necklace. I
am absolutely committed to having a nursing toddler but
have struggled with a distractable nursling and pain due
to a sloppy latch. Last night, my 12-month-old daughter
nursed better than she has at any time since the summer.
She was fascinated by all the different beads and kept
working them with her fingers while she breastfed. I'm
also impressed by the super-fast shipping on a custom
product. "
Meg
and Nora, NC
"Thank you so much for the beautiful necklace! Maggie
and I love it! It is such a wonderful idea. I thought that
there was no hope for us to continue breastfeeding. I was
having to fight Maggie to get her to nurse and for the few
minutes that she did nurse, she pulled my hair, pulled on
my clothes, and pinched me. It was not enjoyable for either
of us anymore! Now, she gets excited when she sees me put
on the necklace. She stares at it and touches each bead
while nursing away! We are actually enjoying breastfeeding
again!"
Christina and Maggie, SC
"I
just wanted to say that I received my necklace yesterday
and I love it. The construction is very sturdy and the
beads a so cute! I knew that the necklace would be nice
but this is way better then what I expected. My son Wyatt
has already taken to it too! Thank you for the beautiful
necklace you will be hearing from us again!"
